When I was a student broadcaster in college, I got called into the dean's office after calling our opponent "the evil empire" on the radio.😊

A story about how baseball great Jackie Robinson faced discrimination in the military before he broke the color barrier in baseball has been removed from a DOD website.

a picture of Jackie Robinson in uniform, text says: On July 6, 1944, Robinson boarded an Army bus. The driver ordered Robinson to move to the back of the bus, but Robinson refused. The driver called the military police, who took Robinson into custody. He was subsequently court martialed, but he was acquitted. After his acquittal, he was transferred to Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, where he served as a coach for Army athletics until receiving an honorable discharge in November 1944.
