Branch Rickey tells Jackie Robinson he's looking for a player with the courage not to fight back if he is persecuted, insulted, abused, and hated by players, officials, and fans. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why or why not?

I agree

Explanation:

Although Rickey saw a lot of talent and skill in Jackie Robinson, he wanted a player who would accept criticism and persecution quietly. In fact, he wanted Jackie to remain silent with any libel and swearing, abuse, words of hatred and harassment that were imposed on him. That's because Jackie was the first black athlete to be called to the team and if he answered the criticism, no one would take him seriously as a player, but he would see him as someone who was problematic and did not fit the job.

he was in office from 1929 to 1933 and served as a reform governor, promoting programs to combat the economic crisis besetting the united states at the time. in the 1932 presidential election, roosevelt defeated republican president herbert hoover in a landslide.
