Protesters outside Dodger Stadium showed their displeasure with the team’s owners after they pledged $1 million in financial assistance to families of immigrants impacted by recent events. The gesture, however, has not earned the Dodgers full-fledged forgiveness.
The team remained silent for over two weeks after protests sparked by immigration raids and mass deportations started on June 6. The Dodgers broke their silence last week when they denied ICE entry and access to the stadium parking lots. They then announced the $1 million pledge, which protesters saw as too little, too late.
Despite the protest, the event remained peaceful, with chants and music filling the air. Fans inside Dodger Stadium expressed varied opinions on the team’s commitment. Some saw it as a starting point, while others felt it was insufficient to address the crisis.
The $1 million pledge has not convinced all fans that the Dodgers are taking their social responsibility seriously enough. While some appreciated the gesture, others believed it was a publicity stunt to clean up the team’s image after weeks of silence on the issue.
