Jackie Robinson was a great baseball player, with a career batting average of .311.
He was also the first black MLB player, but this is merely historical circumstance. Robinson
was on the scene at the right time.
The Dodgers knew that if they made the daring move of fielding the first black player, that he better not suck. They took the trouble of signing a black player with game.
Democrats are obsessed about the first female VP, and they were obsessed with making Hillary the first female president.
But Hillary and Harris suck. Not prime specimens.
Anytime a democrat says "we need a female president to break the glass ceiling", reply with:
Margaret Thatcher!
Glass ceiling already shattered.
And Thatcher had game.
What if it's Hillary vs. Jefferson?
Ann Coulter for president!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Petty politicians, modern day ward heelers like Harris and Clinton, try to appropriate the mantles of great men like Jackie Robinson. He endured torrents of abuse (on the field and off), performed at the pinnacle of athletic excellence and did it all with grace. They somehow expect their pedestrian efforts to be received with the same kind of acclaim Jackie Robinson got for his larger than life achievements. They're pathetic posers. Jackie Robinson is a hero.

Robinson was a hero, and additional heroes are the Dodger's owner and manager, who stood up for Robinson. Ask democrats if they know their names and shame them if they don't. They are Branch Rickey and Leo Durocher.
Someone should erect statues of these fellows, loud and proud. Wonder how democrats will react to these statues.
The Dodgers players threatened to mutiny over Robinson and Durocher said: "I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a fucking zebra. I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded."
Robinson drew bigly crowds immediately upon starting in the major league. In the Negro league he drew bigly crowds. At UCLA he was varsity in football, baseball, basketball, and track. Chances are he was popular on campus.
Rival teams might have felt sheepish for not signing Robinson before the Dodgers.
Peyton Manning was a potential #1 draft pick. The Colts held the #1 pick and asked Manning if he wanted to play for the Colts. Manning answered like a sportsman. He said: "If you don't draft me, I will spend the next decade kicking your butts."
Sportsmanship is a beautiful thing. Sportsmanship trumps politics.
The powers that were also understood the social climate of the time and realized that in order for hiring of Black ballplayers to succeed, the first would have to be somebody with a personality that would eventually win over white America. There were numerous players in the Negro Leagues with Robinson's ability but they also chose him for his diplomacy, as a more polarizing individual would possibly ruin it for all future players. Jackie succeeded despite the opposition he faced, Harris has in spite of it...there's a big difference.

Many modern athletes went maximum polar. The American women's national soccer team alienated half of America and they disinclude christians from the team.
The UK has three national teams: England, Scotland, and Wales. America needs to form a rebel national team that's apolitical.
That could work. The Rock may be purchasing the XFL, but I'm afraid he might be a Lefty. They should get Jack Lambert to be the commissioner. Although, from this old clip, he might not be a hit with the LGBT crowd!
@dentrawler
Most major sports teams are in big cities, and they funnel money from rural America to cities.
The Packers stand out as a rural team. The population of Green Bay is only slightly larger than the capacity of Lambeau field and games always sell out.
Rural America should demand that the sports leagues expand and add rural teams. Where could teams be added? You need a big stadium.

@dentrawler don't care - don't follow football or basketball for that matter...
Haha. You start with saying Hillary and Harris suck, then float the idea of Coulter?
