Charles Johnson is a public figure by virtue of his majority ownership of the storied @MLB @MLBNetwork @MLB_PLAYERS @SFGiants SF Giants. Charles Johnson recently set a precedent which begs a question. What conduct triggered the return of the @laurenboebert donation that https://twitter.com/extrabaggs/status/1353062978984140803
. @GOPLeader didn’t also participate? In 1947 there was a man named Branch Rickey who took a stand against racism and integrated baseball. The player he found was a man of indomitable courage and character. A year after Jackie Robinson signed with the Dodgers the US Military was
.Integrated. @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy led 140 Members of Congress, all white, to nullify millions of black votes on the basis of a cynical lie for the purpose of maintaining the power of the loser of the election. If the scheme suceeded it would have ended the Republic.
McCarthy whether through his malice, cynicism or shallow stupidity has given birth to a new Jim Crow caucus. McCarthy has established the idea that Congress xan decide which Black votes are the good ones. It is outrageous. Every Black player in the major leagues stands on the
shoulders of the great Jackie Robinson. How can the owner of the @SFGiants disrespect his players and the greatest players who ever played the game like Willie Mays with donations to a man who wants to take the vote away from our fellow Americans on the basis of their skin color?
The vote on January 6th was an attack on all of the progress that America has made because of the courage and martyrdom of the men and women who advanced the civil rights movement. Baseball is part of that story and it is important to remember the contributions to American
Progress and justice by giants like Hank Aaron. @GOPLeader McCarthy is a small and timid man. He lacks the vision to see the danger of his cynicism and the consequences of his incitement’s and casual lying. He incited insurrection that killed 5 people. He tried to strip Black
Americans of their votes. He did it for Trump. Charles Johnson should not disgrace Baseball with his support for what Kevin McCarthy has wrought
