Simple solution... Ask Riku Nishida at BIRM what HE thinks about Southside Samurai (probably hard to answer) but especially why those jerseys might be upsetting to Japanese.

2026 MLB Forbes teams values, Sox lose money for 6th straight year
Way back in 2012, with the team facing imminent bankruptcy after Frank McCourt siphoned funds from the club to finance his divorce, MLB awarded the Dodgers a favorable deal to pull themselves out of a hole. The following season, they would be permitted to treat their media revenue as a maximum of $84 million for revenue-sharing purposes, a figure that would increase by 4% each year thereafter. This deal would continue for the following 25 years. (Note: yes, that is a ludicrous period of time for this kind of deal.) In 2017, MLB realized the folly of their ways and adjusted the initial starting point to $130 million, but even that has proven to be an insufficient change. The Dodgers' TV Deal with Spectrum far exceeds that; it's valued at $8.35 billion over 25 years, or $334 million per year. Here's how that looks over the course of the 25-year period, with all values below in millions: 2033 $334.00 ? $273.90 ? 2034 $334.00 ? $284.80 ? 2035 $334.00 ? $29620 ? 2036 $334.00 ? $308.10 ? 2037 $334.00 ? $320.40 ? 2038 $334.00 ? $333.20 ? With 48% of all teams' local revenues being shared, the Dodgers are saving over $60 million per year even now, halfway through this slow walk back to paying full freight. In the first year of Shohei Ohtani's contract, they saved the entire salary ($68 million) they deferred to after the end of Ohtani's deal in revenue-sharing avoidance alone. They were required to put that much into escrow, and they could easily do so, because they had all that extra cash they didn't have to pay into the league's shared pool. If the next CBA changes nothing about the fundamental revenue-sharing structure, the Dodgers will surpass $1 billion in cumulative savings in the first year of the new deal. Another loophole in Major League Baseball’s revenue-sharing system involves local media deals, more generally. Clubs can manipulate revenue figures by acquiring partial ownership of the broadcasters that air their games. While revenue from local TV rights is subject to sharing across the league, profits generated through ownership stakes in the broadcasting networks are not. Instead, they are treated as a subsidiary/investment earning. The most prominent example is the New York Yankees, who own a significant share of the YES Network. The network reportedly generates around $500 million annually, yet only about $200 million is included in the revenue-sharing calculations. Other teams employing similar strategies include: Chicago Cubs – Marquee Sports Network Boston Red Sox – New England Sports Network Chicago White Sox – CHSN Atlanta Braves – Bally Sports South/Southeast Detroit Tigers – Bally Sports Detroit St. Louis Cardinals – Bally Sports Midwest Houston Astros – AT&T SportsNet Southwest Miami Marlins – Bally Sports Florida Brewer FanaticMLB's Revenue-Sharing Model Has Two Big Problems. How Can...Revenue sharing, in its current format, is effective—but two big loopholes compromise it. Could a performance-based reward address them?

All things LA Dodgers Thread...
https://www.aol.com/articles/la-dodgers-mlbs-melting-pot-110101034.html “That’s how you got to do it in L.A.,” declared Matthew Oviedo, 32, who grew up in East Los Angeles, one of the prominently Latino communities where lowriders were popularized. Latinos make up about 40% of the Dodgers fanbase. But like the team, the city in which they play and America at large, Dodger fans are an ethnic melting pot – White, Asian, Black and Latino. Heritage Nights have become popular for MLB teams celebrating different cultures, and this season the Dodgers have scheduled seven – one night each for Japanese, Mexican, Filipino, Black, Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Korean cultures. As America's 250th anniversary approaches, the Dodgers provide a powerful lens through which to view the country's history − specifically, issues of social migration, civil rights and immigration
