Dodgers to Visit White House for 2024 Win

The Los Angeles Dodgers have accepted an invitation to visit the White House on April 7 to celebrate their 2024 World Series win, as announced on Tuesday. This visit, part of a tradition for sports champions, will occur during a series against the Washington Nationals and includes a subsequent visit to Capitol Hill. Notably, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who previously expressed reluctance to attend a Trump White House visit, will join out of respect for the office. The decision comes amid controversy over the temporary removal of Jackie Robinson's military service story from a government website as part of the Trump administration's anti-DEI policies. This visit marks the Dodgers' second White House appearance in five years, with their previous visit in 2021 under President Biden. Several team members, including Mookie Betts, are still contemplating their participation in the event.
