Ex-SPN employee Jemele Hill called Los Angeles Dodgers to visit President Donald Trump in the White House to celebrate their world Series victory from 2024.
Hill said on her podcast that she was “disappointed” that Dodgers to go towards our country’s capital, and she brought the latest news about Jackie Robinson’s military service short down from the Department of Defense’s website.
“I’m not surprised that Dodgers went to the White House but I’m still disappointed they chose to [mingle] with the president if administration recently tried literally to erase Jackie Robinson’s [legacy]“Explained Hill.

“The people dedicated to erasing the story do it because they will actually repeat it. So Trump -Administration’s efforts to delete Jackie Robinson is on fire. When they did, you would think you would have heard a loud and angry response from Dodgers. [crickets]”
While Hill implies that the Trump administration deliberately tried to delete Robinson’s military record from the scene, the Department of Defense told Outkick that the department had instructed employees to mark all DEI content for removal through artificial intelligence, though employees only got a week to complete the task.

Due to the short timeline, errors were made throughout the process, which includes the Robinson article that had “dei” in its URL.
Sean Parnell, Assistant to the Defense Secretary of Public Affairs, confirmed the Outkick report with a statement.

“Without a doubt, this task was a tough but incredibly important business. We enforced an aggressive timeline for our dead services and agencies to fight through a large selection of content while ensuring that our strength remains clear and deadly,” said Parnell. “Occasionally, because of the reality of AI tools and other software, somewhat important content was incorrectly drawn offline to be reviewed.”
ESPN should first report Robinson’s military service removed from the DOD website. The department restored the article shortly after the report appeared.
Later this month, Philadelphia Eagles are on the way to the White House to visit Trump. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, who previously donated to the Democrats, called it a “time -disabled tradition” to be invited to the White House, via Pro Football Talk.
“So there was no restraint at all,” Lurie added. “Being celebrated in the White House is a good thing. There were special circumstances (in 2018) that were very different, and therefore this kind was an obvious choice and looking forward to it.

“When you grow up and you hear about, ‘Oh, the championship team should go to the White House,’ That’s what this is. And then we didn’t have that opportunity and now we do. I think we all look forward to it.”
