To the editor: While it is good that the lands of the Dodger stadium deny the entrance to federal agents, it is nothing more than a gesture (“Federal agents denied the entrance to the parking lot of the Dodger Stadium: this is what really happened.” June 19). The property, management and players of the Dodgers owe the people of Los Angeles and this nation a letter of public apology for having attended the White House and leaning before the authority of President Trump, despite his daily and anti -democratic words and actions. None of them had the courage to speak that day.
I have been a loyal fan since the team arrived in Los Angeles in 1958. I have encouraged them as heroes for almost seven decades. But simply having a great athletic ability does not make them heroes. They proved that in their acquiescence to Trump in the White House and, until this recent gesture, their inability to resist what the regime has been doing in the city they represent. Unless fans adhere to intentional ignorance, these guys are not heroes. They are only egocentric exhibitions.

To the editor: I have not been in a Dodgers game from Sandy Koufax, but as an ex-angeline, I could have to buy seasonal tickets next year for the brave stand that the Dodgers assumed on June 19 against federal immigration agents.
It was not performative, it was restorative. And it is inspiring to see a large and powerful organization resist power and injustice and agents who use masks.

To the editor: Dodgers applaud for denying the entry of federal agents into the stadium land. There was no reason for his presence there.
However, we must remember that at the end of the 1950s, Walter O'Malley and the Dodgers evicted Many innocent Mexico -American so that they could build their stadium. We must remember our history to preserve our future.
