While Major League Baseball could be on the verge of returning if team owners and the Players Association can settle their disputes, the overarching focus across the country has shifted elsewhere in recent weeks.
After George Floyd was killed at the hands of a police officer in Minnesota, thousands have come together to join the Black Lives Matter campaign, fighting for the end of racial injustice and police brutality.
Many Los Angeles Dodgers players, as well as the organization, have spoken up since Floyd was killed, about their commitment to the cause. Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier as a member of the Dodgers, of course, so their fight for racial equality has been ongoing for decades.
