Letters: What a week, from ICE at Dodger Stadium to Lakers sale
The current incarnation of Dodger ownership is not your grandfatherβs Dodgers. In lieu of private, family ownership, you have one behemoth corporation, the Guggenheim Group, predicated on maximizing profit potential, and not giving a twit regarding social or moral imperatives. Doing the βright thingβ might threaten their bottom line. After all, in their way of thinking, the business of America is business.β ICE thugs terrorizing part of their fan baseβs families is not on their radar. Itβs all about money.

Why would Dylan HernΓ‘ndez be surprised by the Dodgersβ silence over the Trump Administrationβs efforts to terrorize the Hispanic residents of greater Los Angeles? Never forget that Dodger Stadium stands on land acquired through similar tactics directed toward the Hispanic residents of Chavez Ravine.

So let me get this right. Seven months ago the Los Angeles Times editorial section declined to endorse either one of the candidates running for president of the United States, but today, Dylan HernΓ‘ndez, a columnist (which means he gives his opinion about topics) slammed the Dodgers for not taking a political stance on the current events in Los Angeles. Mr. HernΓ‘ndez, the Dodgers are a pro sports franchise, not a political party. Maybe if you want to continue to write about politics you should transfer to the Op-Ed department and leave the sports section to sports

Mr. HernΓ‘ndezβs diatribe in The Times is yet another example of his inability to comprehend legal from illegal status. He would have the Dodgers condemn the removal of those illegally in our country. The Dodgers ownership made the correct decision to remain silent. Do not reward the law breaker who was aware of the possible consequences from the beginning.

Thank you, KikΓ© HernΓ‘ndez, for standing up for Angelenos while they are being targeted because of the color of their skin. There is no larger supporter of the Dodgers than the Mexican-American community. The Dodger ownership should show that support works both ways.
