The article critiques the Los Angeles Dodgers for accepting an invitation from President Trump to visit the White House, arguing that this visit undermines the team's legacy of social justice. It highlights a perceived hypocrisy, particularly in light of their upcoming Jackie Robinson Day celebration, questioning their claim to be leaders in social progress while submitting to perceived hateful forces. Team president Stan Kasten's justification for the visit is seen as an attempt to detach from the political implications of their decision, which the article argues is insincere.
How pathetic. How spineless. More than anything, how hypocritical.
Leaders don't cower in fear of ignorant extremists, no matter how many of them there are.
This was something we discussed with all the players, all of whom wanted to go.
This [has] nothing to do with politics.
