   "…a much-lauded and respected diversity program for nearly a decade but the minute political winds changed they trashed it so as not to displease Donald Trump. Keep all this in mind when MLB engages in its annual coopting of Jackie Robinson's legacy next month. When it takes credit for his accomplishments while, quite clearly, sharing none of his values."

     "Major League Baseball ha[s] altered what was once its 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' webpage, removing that title, and scrubbing the word "diversity" from it... [and] has almost completely eliminated the webpage for its Diversity Pipeline Program. And it's not even clear if the program itself exists any longer."
