Strong words here…Flushing University and a taste below.
For the record, I don’t think being pro-Mets makes you a racist.
I was disappointed to find out that the main entrance to the new stadium that I’ve for so long to enter has been made into a tribute to a player that never even wore a Mets uniform – and to a team that left town over 50 years ago.
A tribute to a Brooklyn Dodger.
Mets fans enter their team’s new stadium – a stadium that from the outside is also supposed to evoke memories of that long-dead team from the Borough of Churches – and are inundated with images of a man who played the game at a time where the home team did not even exist.
What other Major League Baseball team would ever build a shrine to a player that never even wore their uniform?
..
Is this franchise’s history of so little importance to the Wilpon family that they thought it more important to build a monument to the Brooklyn Dodgers and their heroes? Perhaps instead of a gigantic outdoor food court, it would’ve been nice to see something celebrating the 48 seasons that the Mets have played National League Baseball. Apparently that was too much to ask.
The rest is here.
