NO BLACK PLAYERS ON CHICAGO WHITE SOX 2024 ROSTERS.
Opinion written by Pastor Rich Redmond, Executive Editor, MEG
77 years after African American baseball legend, Jackie Robinson broke America's "color line" in MLB, his suffering, ridiculing, degrading, and being called Nigg** by racist non-Black people every time he stepped on the field; seems to be all forgotten by today's Chicago's White Sox's Non-Black team.
The MLB season has started and little to no news has been reported from TV Sportscasters, even those of African American descent, about this officious act.
MEG cannot help but ask, "What about the Black fans of this team? Are they still comfortable as ticket season holders and buying tickets to attend their games; watching or recording their games on TV from the comfort of their homes, knowing they will not see one player of their race on the field?
The owner of the White Sox is meeting with Governor Pritzker to convince him that his team needs a new stadium to be paid in part with taxpayers' money. He has no Black players on his team but still wants the tax dollars of Blacks to help pay for his newly proposed stadium.
There are a couple of things in this story for Black Chicagoans to consider very seriously: 1) If you support this team financially to whom are you giving your money? 2) Could it be, that the White Sox are setting a precedent for the rest of MLB teams to follow?
