Dodgers tried to stop Spanish version of US national anthem before SF Giants game

On the same day as nationwide protests against President Donald Trump and as Los Angeles continues to see massive protests against sweeping immigration raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Dodgers attempted to stop a Spanish version of the U.S. national anthem from being sung before facing the Giants.

According to a video posted on TikTok from singer Vanessa Hernandez, who goes by “Nezza” in her professional career, a Dodgers employee attempted to get Hernandez to not sing "El Pendon Estrellado" before Saturday’s game against San Francisco.
