Report: MLB, Players Discussing Adding Social Justice Elements to 2020 Season
联盟跟球员在讨论本球季要增加一些社会公平元素
Major League Baseball and its players are reportedly discussing how they can
incorporate social justice elements into the sport for the shortened 2020
season.
据报导联盟跟球员在讨论要如何在今年缩短的赛季把社会公平的元素一起放进来。
Buster Olney of ESPN reported the news, noting "it's unclear what form the
elements will take, whether it be some kind of logo placed on uniforms or
something shared and fronted by players."
ESPN记者Buster Olney报导说，“目前还不确定会用哪种形式来展现，或许会是在制服上
的一个标志，或者在其他东西上面。”
Olney also pointed out "baseball has rarely tackled issues of racial
inequality with industry-wide uniformity," highlighting the fact that the
Boston Red Sox became the last team to sign a Black player 12 years after
Jackie Robinson broke into the league.
Olney也指出，“棒球用整个运动很少去触及种族不平等的议题，”这也点出了在Jackie
Robinson打进大联盟的12年后，波士顿红袜是最后一支签下黑人球员的队伍。
What's more, Robinson called for the hiring of the league's first Black
manager in 1972. That didn't happen until 1975 when the Cleveland Indians
hired Frank Robinson.
更有甚者，Robinson在1972年呼吁要球团聘任黑人教练，但是直到1975年笑脸人才聘了
Frank Robinson。
The killing of George Floyd after former Minneapolis police officer Derek
Chauvin knelt on his neck while he was pleading for his life and saying he
could not breathe sparked worldwide protests against police brutality and
systemic racism. Soccer players in international leagues and MLS have taken a
knee and worn messages such as Black Lives Matter on their jerseys in support
of the movement.
前明尼拿波里警察Derek Chauvin用膝盖压着George Floyd，即使他恳求饶他一命以及说他
不能呼吸的情况下死亡后，掀起了全球抗议声浪，抵制警察暴力以及种族歧视。国际上的
足球员以及美国足球联盟都做了单膝下跪以及穿着有关Black Lives Matter标志的球衣以
表示支持。
Some NBA players will have similar messages on the backs of their jerseys
when play resumes near Orlando, Florida.
在奥兰多复赛的NBA有一些球员会在球衣背后放上有类似讯息的标语。
On June 3, Major League Baseball issued a statement saying "our game has zero
tolerance for racism and racial injustice" while adding "the reality that the
Black community lives in fear or anxiety over racial discrimination,
prejudice or violence is unacceptable."
六月三日，联盟发表了声明说，“我们的棒球是不容许有种族歧视以及种族不平等的，”
也说“而黑人社区因为种族歧视，不平等以及暴力而生活在恐惧以及焦虑的事实是不能接
受的。”

Jelisa Castrodale of Vice pointed out MLB was the last major sports league to
respond to Floyd's death, and James Wagner of the New York Times wrote a
column titled "MLB Took 9 Days to Address George Floyd. Was It Too Late?"
that included criticism from players such as New York Mets pitcher Marcus
Stroman:
Vice杂志Jelisa Castrodale指出联盟是最后一个职业运动对于Floyd死亡做出回应的，纽
时专栏作家James Wagner写了专栏标题是"MLB花了9天才对于George Floyd表示意见，会不
会太慢?"，里面也提及梅子投手Marcus Stroman对联盟的批评：

"Took long enough...BLACK LIVES MATTER! "
“真的有够久的...黑人的命也是命！”
Castrodale cited MLB's senior director of communications and youth engagement
Steven Arocho, who knew the amount of time it took the league to respond
"didn't go unnoticed."
Castrodale则是引述联盟资深主管Steven Arocho的话，说他知道联盟花这样的时间才做出
的回应，“不会不被注意到的。”
However, Arocho said, "We didn't just want to be a brand putting our voice
out there. We wanted to develop what the next action was, so putting
something out without considerable thought and being thorough, for us, fell a
little short. We wanted there to be something intentional behind it."
不过，Arocho也说，“我们不只是要把我们的声音当作个牌子放在那里而已，我们想要的
是要发展出接下来所要做的，所以若只是把东西拿出来，没有想透想清楚，对我们来说是
不够的。我们想要做的东西是背后有意图在的。”
It appears as if the league and its players are planning the next steps.
看起来似乎联盟跟球员们在计画接下来的要做的一些事情了。
