Sports is meant to be entertainment, an escape from daily toils, our common love of the game binding us. Yet how can we be entertained when we look on the playing field and are so easily reminded about the lack of opportunity, the systems that create racial and gender bias?

For 42 day I’d like to see the Dodgers play the Mets in NYC and the Dodgers as the home team with a “B” on their caps

On this day
He paved the way
And though I did not see him play
If not for him I could not say
These were the heroes of my youth.

So on this day I do give thanks
For the likes of Willie Mays and Ernie Banks
Fergie Jenkins, Bob Gibson
Sweet Swinging Billy Williams
Hank Aaron and the rest
Who followed him and passed the test.

Jackie Robinson was a Republican, when it was still the party of Abraham Lincoln. Millions of other Blacks were also Republican at the time.

He even endorsed Richard Nixon.
