Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Hey, I'm all for civil rights, and as a Dodger fan I certainly respect the legend and legacy of Jackie Robinson.
But is it just me, or is it weird that the "Civil Rights Game" is a meaningless exhibition game? It's almost like MLB is saying, "we support civil rights, so long as it doesn't impact the regular season."
Nice.

From Deadspin:
Participating in the Civil Rights Game will be the Cleveland Indians, who have a red-faced caricature of a Native American as their mascot. It's kind of like having a 9-11 benefit game, and asking Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to throw out the first pitch.
Next up, baseball takes on other pressing social issues. The Women's Suffrage Game is scheduled for next year!
MLB announced the Womens Suffrage Game for March 17.
