Defense Department Deletes Story On Jackie Robinson\'s Military Service 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Mar 19, 2025 6:41 pm

The Department of Defense deleted a story on its website that highlighted Jackie Robinson\'s military service, with the original URL redirecting to one that added the letters \"dei\" in front of \"sports-heroes.\"

The scrubbing of the page followed a Feb. 27 memo from the Pentagon that called for a \"digital content refresh\" that would \"remove and archive DoD news articles, photos, and videos promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).\"

The Department of Defense did not respond to requests for comment by ESPN.

\"We are aware and looking into it,\" an MLB spokesperson said.

Disgusting bunch of racists running the country. By extension, one could easily argue that anyone who supports Trump is a racist/bigot, or at the very least puts it on them to prove otherwise.
**** racists

The story was restored. Calm down and take your meds.
