America First Legal, a conservative legal organization founded by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, along with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has filed a federal civil rights complaint against the L.A. Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners.

The complaint alleges that both entities engage in racially and sexually discriminatory hiring practices under the banner of diversity, equity and inclusion. Guggenheim Partners is an investment firm led by Dodgers controlling owner Mark Walter.

In a June 30 letter addressed to Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas, the America First Legal Foundation accused the Dodgers and the investment firm of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by making employment decisions based on race, color, sex or national origin.

“Discriminatory DEI policies openly discriminate against employees based on their race, sex, and other protected immutable characteristics. Despite arguments from discrimination advocates that—to meet the goals of ‘diversity’ and ‘equity,’—certain groups, such as straight white men, must be treated differently than diverse individuals by holding them to a higher evidentiary standard, the Supreme Court has directly rejected this position,” the letter states.

I guess in their lofty megalomaniac universe, one of their aspirations they feel worth while is to take on MLB. I suppose if they sic Noem on them, there would be no more MLB left given all the Dominicans, Cubans, Venezuelans, and more recently, Japanese who are key players.

5. Part of it, another probable reason is that the LA Lakers legend Magic Johnson is part owner of the Dodgers
