Singer Nessa (oops sorry I misspelled her name) from the Dominican Republic decided to go against what the Dodgers instructed of her - to sing the Anthem in English.

She then left the stadium, saying she hates baseball* and quickly turns to TikTok. Brave and proud, but sensitive, emotional and crying at the same time.


Love this (probably) AI video. You go with your protest girl. I'm not certain what you can take from it.

Her ticky-tok explanation

Instagram video of her singing


Spoiler: I kid you not... She states it was, in part, because her parents "are immigrants. They've been citizens my whole life... they got documented early. But... I just can't imagine them being ripped away from me"



DailyMail.com

quote:

In a tearful post on TikTok, she said she felt the tribute was poignant on the day of 'No Kings' protests across the United States over Donald Trump's immigration policies. And after more than a week of unrest in Los Angeles itself, the singer said she was stunned that the organization told her to perform the anthem in English.

In a separate video, she shared a clip of what she says was a Dodgers official, from off-camera, telling her she was required to sing the anthem in English.


fansided.com - some Dodger's responses

PS - This isn't the worst thing ... However, I come back to - if I were a guest in a foreign country or a citizen in my adopted country - how would I behave.

PPS - OK, I made the 'hates baseball' up - But I thought her running home to record videos on multiple platforms seemed like a Babylon Bee moment.

I missed the part where Francis Scott Key was Latin.

Or that Spain won the revolutionary war to free the original 13 colonies from the Crown.

Wearing a Dominican shirt while protesting the US.


She wouldn’t be singing at a fricking dodgers game if her parents hadn’t done it the right way. She’d either be making clothes or working one of the resorts in DR.

They, like the French, helped a lot, but didn't win it. Just like messicants couldn't hold on to the SW for longer than 25yrs. Those ignorant la raza folks have no clue what they talking about.

Funny how they don't say the Mexicans, and Spanish stole it from the local Indians. Or how Mexico is on stolen land.

people are so dramatic. Her parents can live well in their home nation, she can visit, and even FaceTime multiple times a day. Our ancestors came here and would never have a chance to see their loved ones again.

I can't imagine Tommy Lasorda not pulling his Dodger teams off the field if they tried this shite. Amd yea, I know he loved him some latino players back in the day.
