Great country we’ve got.
We don’t like it much either
Alternative headline: Orphan crushing machine temporarily paused for one man.
I’m happy for him and it’s great that the Dodgers are helping him out like this, but the fact that it’s necessary in the first place is fucking GROTESQUE.
dodgers also repelled ice from entering their stadium, they’re pretty woke. more people should be like the dodgers
Should not be necessary; anyone should be able to get the healthcare they need. But still very happy for him and lots of respect for the club.
I can’t help but notice the hint of orphan crushing machine in this.
You’re right, but people doing good things in a broken world is something to celebrate.
Yeah, for real. This is only wholesome if you ignore the dystopian context

Is there a community for that in lemmy
Sooooo, a week ago the Dodgers refused ICE entry to the ballpark.
Now I see they continue to keep signed a player who hasn’t played for 7 years, and lets be real, likely never will again. Just so he can continue to recieve the help he needs.
Ya know…it’s real hard to paint the Dodgers in the same camp as the Yankees and the Astros as being the villains of the MLB, when they keep putting good out into the world.
Goddamnit, as much as I love this, as a lifelong Giants fan, I hate that these stories make me feel positive feelings about the Dodgers
It’s incredible that they are doing this for him. Schizophrenia is one of those disorders that is incredibly difficult to manage, because the person doesn’t often recognize that there is something wrong and they need treatment.
It runs in my family, and can really be devastating without enough support.
I grew up absolutely hating the Yankees. As an adult I work sports broadcast and was working on a Yankees’ show, they couldn’t have been any nicer…it was really disappointing to see how nice they are.
The cardinals are monsters though.
How are the Indians/Guardians? And which years did you interact with them?
Guardians were fine, John Kruck from the Phillies is absolutely hilarious and just a great guy, stage manager from the Rockies gave me some edibles.
And I did broadcast audio from 09-22.
St. Louis doesn’t have anything else going for it. All their eggs are in the Cardinals basket
This is the first time I’ve heard the Astros put on the same level as the Yankees what did I miss? lol
Unless something else happened, it has to do with the sign stealing scandal
I’m so happy to read this! This will be expensive for them and they don’t have to do it but they are. Thanks for sharing!
this isn’t new. read up about arsene wenger and santi cazorla at arsenal.
wenger is known to have given broad coverage to his players.
Nope…still hate the entire state. …“Fun” fact, if you’re married and pregnant in Missouri, it is illegal to divorce your husband in the event of domestic violence.
I dislike that whole area
I didn’t realize Los Angeles was in Missouri.
