From Dodgers manager Dave Roberts:
Before the game, Roberts was asked if he would have a problem if a player chose to kneel during the anthem.
“Personally, yeah, I’d have a problem,” he said, “because my father served this country for 30 years and I understand – I can appreciate any player’s individual, however they act, and that’s personal. But I would just ask every person to really be educated. When you make a point, something like that – and it’s been in baseball. It’s been in sports. But the thing is, really think long and hard, and really be educated on why you’re doing what you’re doing. After that it’s each individual player’s decision.”
Dave Roberts is black. Roberts will be seen as a Uncle Tom.
Watch as the black LA residents force Magic to fire him.
Just watch.
He’ll be seen as a Uncle Tom.
