(15,862 posts)Dodgers DEI efforts subject of federal civil rights complaint filed by conservative legal group.
The complaint was filed Monday with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by America First Legal, less than two weeks after the Dodgers said they denied federal immigration authorities access to Dodger Stadium parking lots

(42,052 posts)whom, exactly, the Dodgers hired (or fired) "based on race, color, sex or national origin"? Is Miller just pissed off about Ohtani making $75 million per year (deferred) while hitting only .288? Or, perhaps he thinks the Dodgers should call up a woman from OKC in their parade of injury-replacement pitchers.
I'm really interested to see how this plays out.

(15,862 posts)big mistake going after the L.A. Dodgers.
Oeditpus Rex
(42,052 posts)going after Major League Baseball, period. It's like shooting pupp... okay, wait. I meant to use a metaphor meaning Miller et al are gonna look reeeealllllly bad to everyone who doesn't hate the Dodgers (though millions of "pfans" do, probably even more than hate the Yankees) or just hate baseball.
Baseball has been a "melting pot" since 1947, and I suspect very few fans have a problem with it. They know a ball club signs the players they think can best help them win and don't give much thought as to where they're from.

angrychair
(10,858 posts)They don't have to prove that. Their point is that that the very existence of DEI policies is, in itself, discriminatory.
This is the hole in the armor that racists and bigots and misogynists have been looking to exploit for years.
DEI policies were created to specifically encourage people of diverse backgrounds to apply for jobs because, historically, white males had a significant hiring advantage over other people.
The core of their argument is that racism and xenophobia and bigotry and misogyny don't exist anymore and therefore DEI policies are discrimination to white males.
Oeditpus Rex
(42,052 posts)the ball club has a "DEI policy," or does the mere fact that it employs people from several different countries and of different flesh tones "prove" that?
MarineCombatEngineer
(15,862 posts)Nazi Miller doesn't need no stinking proof.
angrychair
(10,858 posts)Has a published policy celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion and even has a webpage about their DEI policies:
https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/community/diversity-equity-inclusion
That's all these fucking monsters need to attack you now.
Oeditpus Rex
(42,052 posts)have that policy. If I remember correctly, the only two that don't are the two Texas clubs, the Rangers and the Asterisks.
Maybe Miller's just starting with the Dodgers.
Like I said, I'm really interested to see how this plays out.

Oeditpus Rex
(42,052 posts)of tscist, homophobic, misogynist bigots -- that is, right-wingers -- post to that effect. Actually, they necessarily believe they exist because, they say, it's
liberals who harbor them. Our hatred of women is evidenced by the "fact" that we "encourage" them (and, some say, "force" them) to have abortions, even post-delivery. We obviously hate Black people because we continually insist the most disenfranchised ones are "too stupid" to get a voter ID. We must hate LGBTQ+ kids (of which there're also "no such thing" ) because we"encourage" and even "force" them to "mutilate their bodies."
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Midnight Writer
(24,353 posts)As far as I can recall, all the teams' owners and management are white men. The teams fought against allowing minority players for decades.
The teams aren't looking for "DEI hires". They are looking for the people who will most likely win games for them.
If you want the best, you need to diversify. The larger your pool of candidates, the more talent you have to choose from.
Republicans cannot accept this simple reality.
ProfessorGAC
(73,557 posts)And people go out of their way to get tickets to see Ohtani.
And, the ratings for Dodger games on ESPN are impressive.
People want it, they win a lot, and the team makes a lot of money.
DEI has nothing to do with the product on the field. They'd pay any white Anglo Saxon protestant is the could throw 102 or hit a ball 500'.
This lawsuit isn't about DEI. It's retribution for the Dodgers shooing away ICE agents.

(1,494 posts)Most baseball players are either from Latin America, Japan, or South Korea, with occasional ones from Taiwan. I don't really follow baseball, but I guarantee you MLB teams will have at least one Latin American or Asian player in their roster. They are also mad that the Dodgers didn't bow down to the ICE Gestapo. But I think there is one thing no one is talking about: potential stampede. If the Dodgers allowed ICE in a packed stadium, people could panic and in the rush to escape, cause a human crush because of all the compressive force.
MarineCombatEngineer
(15,862 posts)Aryan world, a black man isn't entitled to own anything or the Dodger org. might have saved a bunch of Icehole lives by not allowing them into the stadium because the 30-40 thousand fans might've turned on them and given them a well-deserved what for, although I highly doubt that was the reason for the denial.
Just a couple of alternative theories.
the Dodgers that recently would not allow ICE into the Dodgers parking lot and stadium? Maybe I have them confused with a different team.
MarineCombatEngineer
(15,862 posts)they were forced to leave because Dodger Stadium security denied them access to the stadium.
