To the editor: Whereas it’s good that the Dodger Stadium grounds denied entry to federal brokers, it’s however a gesture (“Federal brokers denied entry to Dodger Stadium parking zone: Here’s what actually occurred,” June 19). The possession, administration and gamers of the Dodgers owe the folks of Los Angeles and this nation a public letter of apology for having attended the White Home and bowed to the authority of President Trump, regardless of his every day inhumane and antidemocratic phrases and actions. Not a single considered one of them had the braveness to talk up on that day.
I’ve been a loyal fan for the reason that group arrived in L.A. in 1958. I’ve cheered them on as heroes for practically seven many years. However merely having nice athletic skill doesn’t make them heroes. They proved that of their acquiescence to Trump within the White Home and, till this latest gesture, their failure to face as much as what the regime has been doing within the metropolis they characterize. Until followers cling to willful ignorance, these guys aren’t heroes. They’re simply selfish show-offs.

To the editor: I haven’t been to a Dodgers recreation since Sandy Koufax, however as an ex-Angeleno, I simply may need to purchase season tickets subsequent 12 months for the courageous stand the Dodgers took on June 19 in opposition to federal immigration brokers.
It wasn’t performative, it was restorative. And it’s inspiring to observe a big, highly effective group stand as much as energy and injustice and to brokers carrying masks.

To the editor: I applaud the Dodgers for denying federal brokers entry into the stadium grounds. There was no motive for his or her presence there.
We should, nevertheless, keep in mind that within the late Fifties, Walter O’Malley and the Dodgers evicted many harmless Mexican People so they may construct their stadium. We should keep in mind our historical past to protect our future.
