Branch Rickey, the baseball team executive of Brooklyn Dodgers, who always supported Jackie Robinson but at the same time endured certain hardships during the process of helping Jackie overcome the color discrimination and prejudices from White. Back in the 1940s, it was the period when racism, subjugation and inequality toward blacks were so strong that they were nearly being enforced like a law.

Without a specific character defined as an antagonist, Jackie Robinson instead faces off against a much broader concept – the popular mindset of the time.
To the “white” world of baseball, he was a trespasser of their beloved game. Jackie played in a time where blacks and whites were meant be kept separate, so when he appeared on the same field as white ball players, people’s prejudice took over.
