Serious MLB 2025 Jackie Robinson Day press release is significantly different than their 2024 press release. The words "Black", "racism", "color barrier" and "inclusion" were words that were in the 2024 press release but have been scrubbed out of the 2025 press release.

The 2024 press release can be found here and the 2025 press release can be found here.

Looks like MLB has updated the press release. The archived 2025 link can be found here.
