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 car parking zone: Here’s what actually occurred,” June 19). The possession, administration and gamers of the Dodgers owe the individuals 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 each day inhumane and antidemocratic phrases and actions. Not a single certainly one of them had the braveness to talk up on that day.
I’ve been a loyal fan because the workforce arrived in L.A. in 1958. I’ve cheered them on as heroes for practically seven many years. However merely having nice athletic capability doesn’t make them heroes. They proved that of their acquiescence to Trump within the White Home and, till this current gesture, their failure to face as much as what the regime has been doing within the metropolis they signify. Except 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 yr for the courageous stand the Dodgers took on June 19 towards 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 sporting masks.

To the editor: I applaud the Dodgers for denying federal brokers entry into the stadium grounds. There was no cause 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 might construct their stadium. We should keep in mind our historical past to protect our future.
