"Without a doubt, the most important person in the history of baseball is Jackie Robinson."

how long are the SJWs gonna keep pushing this meme
didn't ken burns already make like a 20 part miniseries on baseball
Well he was constantly berated, attacked, harrased, insulted, threatend, etc
Just imagine if the Braves were in Atlanta then. He would have been lynched.

>complaining about liberal shit on PBS
kek child please
>>66317845
He almost was down in Florida on multiple occasions.
>>66317794
He was a great baseball player and that MLB should have the best players no matter what a person's race is. I read a biography about him when I was little so I understand who Jackie Robinson is. If you want to complain about SJWs, go to /pol/.
Anything Ken Burns creates is a great documentary.
when do you think we will see the first tranny in MLB
Jackie Robinson is no better than Torii Hunter all things considered.
Homers say he should be in the Hall but he won't be.
To have his jersey retired league wide and call him baseball's most important player is retarded.

>Jackie Robinson is no better than Torii Hunter all things considered
That's actually not true at all
How utterly absurd
if he wasn't black literally nobody would remember or care about him
>>66318929
hopefully soon
>>66319145
If he wasn't black, he would have been allowed to play in the majors alot sooner.
>>66319021
>Jackie Robinson is no better than Torii Hunter all things considered
Lmfao, do you actually believe this? "All things considered" give me a fucking break
>Robinson - Career 311/409/474, 135 wRC+, 57.2 WAR in just 10 seasons
>Hunter - Career 271/331/461, 110 wRC+, 41.2 WAR in 17 seasons
>>66319188
maybe he should have been better and not have to rely on sjws to force the mlb to have him in the league
>>66319256
What are you, 12?
>>66319325
>I have no response so I'll just resort to name calling
gg no re
>>66319361
No one gives a shit pussy, shut the fuck up
"durrrrrr hurrrr sjw"
Lol
Is calling Jackie Robinson a meme a dank new meme
>>66319256
there were plenty of black players better than him but robinson was the least nigger one of them all
>>66319256
>mid 20th century civil rights activists were SJWs
jesus christ you're retarded
the guy was an elite player, the guy is a HOFer on the merit of his play. He wasn't as good as later black players like Hank Aaron or Willie Mays, but without Jackie Robinson being as good as he was they might have had a hard time breaking in as well.

I'm all for calling out SJW bullshit in the modern day but you do realize racism was very rampant in America in the mid-20th century? Was MLK just a SJW tumblerina too?
Jesus fucking christ you're retarded.
Jackie was a legit HoF talent.
Is that all this fucking shithole is now? Boring fedora posters?
fuck off OP
>>66319256

>>66319256
>All this bullshit
Am I being trolled, or were the SJWs right all along?
Jackie was not the most important person in the history of baseball, and the worst part is, Burns knows this.
Ruth was more important
Landis was more important
Wright was more important.
Hanlon was more important
Rickey was more important

I know that /sp/ and 4chan like to do their whole "lol we are teenagers on an edgy website so lets all be conservative and hate anyone who isnt a white male it will be epic" but if you seriously think jackie robinson isnt either the most or a top 3 most important person in the history of baseball, and yes it is due to his race, then kill yourself
>>66317839
>miniseries
>18 and a half hours long
anon pls
>all the retarded niggers (redundant statement, I know) ITT getting baited
>>66318929
definitely never, a ftm still couldn't athletically keep up, and a mtf would basically lose all their muscle mass with the hormones. unless bryce harper decides to throw on a dress and "identify" as female it ain't happening.

>Babe Ruth
>Abner Doubleday
>Barry Bonds
Boom. Jackie Robinson is a close fourth, though.
How is this going to be different than those episodes of his Baseball documentary dedicated to Jackie and the negro leagues?
The Joe Louis of baseball i suppose
>>66319705
It's a troll m8, and a pretty shit one at that
>anyone who's taking the troll ITT seriously

>>66319873
>Ruth was more important
Ruth popularized the home run
>Landis was more important
Landis stamped out gambling in baseball. He also kept blacks out for years.
>Wright was more important.
Assembled the first professional baseball team.
>Hanlon was more important
Introduced manager strategy to baseball
>Rickey was more important
Started the modern farm system of baseball
Robinson established that blacks and whites could play together without destroying the game. "Most important" is a matter of opinion and mostly advertising hyperbole. Each choice is valid and doesn't diminish Robinson's effect on changing the sport.
>>66320208
Abner Doubleday? You still buy that story?
With all due respect... Ruth was still more important.
Marion Motley did it a year earlier in Handegg.
I am looking forward to this but a hefty amount of baseball was dedicated to Jackie Robinson so I wonder what will be new.
