Jackie Robinson.
Amazing.
Kurt Flood's hero.
First black man to play in the major leagues.
At this point, he's 51.
He's retired.
He's going blind.
But he agrees to testify.
He takes the stand.
And Flood's lawyer asks Jackie Robinson about the reserve clause.
So fundamentally, Jackie Robinson is saying something quite similar to what Kurt Flood has been saying, but in a little bit of a subtler way.
And he is a national hero at this point.
Yes.
In fact, the judge in the case asked Jackie Robinson for an autograph for his grandson.
And it is the case that when Jackie Robinson says this, people listen.
The coverage in the news is warmer than when Kurt Flood says it.
So now the public is starting to consider Flood's argument a little more seriously.
The vibes are changing.
But the judge in the case doesn't care about vibes.
He cares about legal precedent.
