9. It was an outrageous desecration 🤬

To willfully cover up with a tawdry booze ad a tribute to a man who was a legendary baseball superstar, but MORE IMPORTANTLY a true hero as a humanitarian who literally died bringing food relief to the poorest of the poor, his last greatest measure of devotion to his fellow human beings.

But that was a typical low class move that reflects the organizational ethos of its greed driven billionaire owner Bob Nutting, a man who single-handedly has run a once proud franchise into the ground through his legendary bad business decisions while taking public money to do it, but yet, finding a way to personally profit. 🤬

He’s a perfect example of the rancid billionaire mindset that squeezing every last dollar they can from exploiting and abusing we the people is the preeminent motivating objective for their miserable lives.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was also a deliberate decision to kiss demented Donald’s ass by showing he’s loyally following the doddering Don’s edict to rid our society of visible reminders of how towering trailblazers like Roberto Clemente overcame tremendous adversity and racism to achieve the height of success as human beings. Their obscene “antiDEI” obsession which is, stripped to its odious core, is nothing but a naked attempt to make racism great again, and memories of those who proudly defeated it are a repudiation of their perverted lies masquerading as a historical narrative. After all TSF and his neoNazi puppet master Heinrich Musk deliberately purged references to the Tuskegee Airmen and Jackie Robinson from military history, so by trying and now failing spectacularly to hide Roberto, Nutting is just aping his soulless money worshipping leaders. Unlike Roberto, who will be rightfully remembered and lauded long into the future as a truly great human being, these billionaire dregs of humanity will be rightfully reviled now and forever more.
