George Lopez says he no longer supports the Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers because of owner Mark Walter’s investment firm’s financial interests in GEO Group, a private prison company that operates ICE detention facilities under federal contracts.

When did he get a whole new voice??
TIL!
I should start dressing cooler…
Well now my hatred of the Dodgers feels even more justified
This is based and more sports fans should follow suit with these MAGA billionaire and mega millionaire owners.
FUCK ICE, history will spit on your names.
I’m a huge baseball fan, but most of the players and all of the owners make the sport hard to love at this point. Good for George.
But they divested in those prison companies…..so what now?
was the destruction of three entire chicano neighborhoods in the 70s to build the Dodgers stadium not enough for you George?
EDIT: Did the Dodgers fans find this or?
Wait, but they divested like…1.5 weeks ago.*
I was so curious if DT would bring it up in front of the billion cameras when the team was at the White House a few days later.
*I’m just stating a fact. This is not an opinion nor social commentary.
I’m no fan of ICE, but big words coming from a dude with his ex wife’s kidney…
Bug Moves Lopez, love it.
Same here
The same Mark Walter that owns two companies currently getting [investigated by the SEC & federal prosecutors](https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/report-pwhl-owner-mark-walter-024129756.html?utm_source=newsletter.justwomenssports.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=napheesa-collier-s-debut-double-double-silences-the-storm&_bhlid=75480d75cb74cbd73cdde06569505411a3a60367)?

Goddamn the dodgers should of never left Flatbush
…the mexican‑american communities of palo verde, la loma, and bishop were uprooted in the 1950s, when hundreds of families were forcibly removed under the promise of public housing that never came, clearing the way for what would become dodger stadium…
…now its mark walter, but theres always been bullsht happening there…
“Owns detention centers “ just sounds so gross 🤮.
Private prisons for profit should not exist
The divested and then out a million into ice victims
The problem is, once you go down that rabbit hole you realize that there are pretty much no ethical billionaires (and by extension no ethical team owners). You essentially have to shun all sports.
Is everyone dyslexic? It’s FDT not FTD. /s
This says Walter sold his shares in GEO months ago: [https://www.parriva.com/dodgers-geo-group-divestment-ice-relief/](https://www.parriva.com/dodgers-geo-group-divestment-ice-relief/)

I mean that’s up to him, but these assholes don’t get to take my fandom from me or anyone. I’ve loved the team and players since I was a kid. They’re mine.
I’m still not over what he said about black people.
“There’s still two rules in the fucking Latino family. Don’t marry somebody black, and don’t park in front of our house.”- George Lopez
