Social injustice and systemic racism have not only been key issues addressed by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but world as a whole. Last year the Dodgers joined the San Francisco Giants and other teams in boycotting games for a day.
Manager Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen were among those to speak out against inequality. The likes of Cody Bellinger and Justin Turner later accompanied them and others to condemn racism and commit to funding various initiatives.
As bigotry unfortunately remains an issue, Roberts wrote an email to the entire Dodgers organization to address crimes involving Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.
