The Gestapo is not any tactic I don’t like. Nazism is not any idea I don’t like. Giving the most wildly extreme hot take to compare what I don’t like to the Nazi’s is stupidity and beyond ignorant.
If the couple's story is right, the Dodgers' staff acted inappropriately. That said, the analogy is also inappropriate.

In your opinion, and Greg's. Opinion is not fact.

It was a comparison to Nazi tactics. The Nazis got what was coming to them, in the end.

The Dodgers, if the story is true, acted in a manner similar to their tactics. In my stupid, ignorant opinion.

Fully inappropriate and wrongly. But inappropriate and wrong is not a synonym for Nazism, although the online world apparently loves to believe anything they don't like is or is just like Nazism. There's a lot of things I don't like, but that doesn't mean it's like the Nazi's.

Dodgers were being total dicks to that couple.

I hope my position on the matter will be perceived as accurate, straight to the point, well thought out, and not hyperbolic to the extreme.

I think the comparison is fair.

The Nazi were in kahoots with the Japanese. The Dodgers just got in kahoots with the Japanese this off season.

Yoshi "Admiral" Yamamoto is on the hill today against the boys in blue today at Wrigley.

Don't they have an Italian shortstop in A Ball named Ben Mussolini. Once he comes up all bets are off.

The Axis is forming in LA folks.

If one of you wealthy guys gave me a signed Ohtani card, or ball or whatever, I would sell it as fast as possible. I feel the same way about Tesla. I feel the same way about both. 'Nuf Ced.

I think it would be awesome to have an autographed Tesla card. 👀

This just makes my blood boil.

When a fan catches a ball hit into the stands it is legally their property. These damn players are not poor. If they want something that belongs to somebody else they can bloody well do what everyone else does and offer to pay them the fair market value of the item.

This system where you have a business owned by a consortium of billionaires using their hired muscle to effectively extort a valuable item from a regular person solely for the purpose of giving another billionaire a trophy souvenir is absolutely outrageous.

That ball could have provided that fan with a life altering amount of money. Instead they wanted to rob her of it in order to give the 700 million dollar kid another memento to gather dust on a shelf.

Everything about this just stinks.
