To the editor: Like columnist Dylan Hernandez (“Dodgers’ celebration of Jackie Robinson Day rings hollow in wake of White House visit,” April 15), I used to be saddened that the Dodgers selected to go to the White Home. I perceive that it might have taken some braveness to do in any other case, however that also doesn’t make it proper. I consider I’ve a means they’ll make amends that’s diplomatic sufficient to keep away from angering the White Home. Make an announcement at each recreation: “Girls and gents, there may be an American resident being wrongly imprisoned in El Salvador and, so far, efforts to acquire his launch have failed. We want to ask you to rise for a second of silent prayer that our president, Donald Trump, could also be profitable in his efforts to convey Kilmar Abrego Garcia residence.”

To the editor: Bravo to Hernandez for stating the hypocrisy of the Dodgers celebrating Jackie Robinson Day after yukking it up with a president who’s anti-DEI and peddles, as Hernandez wrote, “informal racism.” Furthermore, the president is a convicted felon and was discovered chargeable for sexual abuse in a civil case. Any sports activities staff — or individual for that matter — who consorts with him tacitly condones this habits. They dignify a person with out dignity. They normalize an irregular president. I doubt Robinson would have completed that.

To the editor: To keep away from repeating the hypocrisy of celebrating Jackie Robinson Day after visiting Trump, the Dodgers ought to cancel their upcoming Legislation Enforcement Night time. How can the Dodgers honor courageous cops after they normalized somebody who pardoned a number of felons answerable for attacking and injuring courageous cops?
