This just seems like they're revising history for the sake of looking good in certain people's eyes. I doubt they're doing it for the right reasons, but whatever. It probably should have been done a long time ago, though.
All that said, I wonder how the players of the old Negro League would honestly feel about this. If I was in their positions, I wouldn't want the stats merged because I wouldn't want people to forget the true past of what I had to deal with, but hey, I'm just a 39 year old white guy. I definitely get a kick out of the rage I'm seeing on social media, just as bad as the Butker situation but from the other end of the spectrum. Just don't get all the outrage over sports, it's supposed to be fun. If you're not enjoying it for reasons like this, I don't see the point of being a fan.
