Jackie Robinson They made titles earlier this week for all the wrong reasons when the website that pays tribute to the Great Baseball Great League was removed from the Ministry of Defense website dedicated to athletes who served in the army.
The media ran into him as an example Donald Trump Anti-dei policies running amok.

Jeff Passan said that the people who removed the Robinson article were “Ghouls”, Mina Kimes claimed that Dod was trying to “delete” Robinson from history, and Stephen A. Smith said removal is not a “honest mistake”.
Now, Outkick learned how it happened. According to the Ministry of Defense Officer with the knowledge of the situation, February 27, a group of employees of DOD, was sent to indicate all pages that are considered to be dei content.
These employees received about a week to examine thousands of documents. Due to the condensed temporal tape, several errors were made throughout the procedure, which included, among other things, marking the article Jackie Robinson as Dei.
Sean Parnell, Assistant to the United States of Minister of Defense for Public Affairs, confirmed so much in a statement published on Thursday.
“In the last few weeks, we have taken measures to identify and archive dei content from our websites and social media platforms,” Parnell said.
“No doubt, this task was a hard but incredibly important endeavor. We spent an aggressive weather tape for our DOD services and agencies to comb through a huge range of content, ensuring that our force remained ready and deadly.”

Once the articles are marked, “Dei” was added to the URL so that automated software could later remove all marked pages. According to the source of the Ministry of Defense, there are few supervision over the people who have conducted a review, which contributed to mistakes.
While Parnell claimed that the “Alai tools” were the main factor that contributed to the mistakes, the department officer noted that the original source of labeling came from the employee of the department.
“From time to time, because of the reality of AI tools and other software, some important content was misplaced out of the net to be reviewed,” Parnell said.
The department official said the Robinson article was wrongly removed, but Parnell hinted that another content that was withdrawn may not have been the result of an error.
“When the contents are wrongly removed, or if it is removed maliciously, we continue to work quickly to renew it,” Parnell said.
