My problem as a Dodgers fan now is. I’m also just a baseball fan. And I can’t root against a team. Going for their first title in 32 years. In their hometown. I can’t root against that story. But also I cannot root against Clayton Kershaw in the last game of his career. You see my conundrum here.

Honestly kind of losing it over the fact that *that* US federal department used the freaking LOTR movies and not the books because they are-if not completely illiterate-probably reading at such a low grade reading level that they haven’t/can’t read the books and that tells you a lot about them

Inside of me are two wolves. One has been a Dodgers fan its entire life and has idolized Clayton Kershaw’s career. The other loves an underdog story and a community rallying behind its team 😭🇺🇸💔🇨🇦
