Jackie Robinson became the first Major League Baseball. He was signed to a contract by the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In his first season, he won the Rookie of the Year award for the National League. He did have a positive impact on civil rights as his outstanding play on the baseball field, awakened other baseball clubs to tap into the baseball talent in the so-called "Negro Leagues". He and the Dodgers opened the door of opportunity for Blacks. ( Blacks was the term of today's African American ) It took courage to become the first Black player. He became an example of the easing of racial problems in America. He also gave Black people a boost in morale.

It's just Dodger Stadium (as of 2009 the naming rights to the stadium have never been sold, although there is talk of that happening sometime in the near future). It's one of only 7 current MLB parks that are 100% privately owned by the teams that play in them (and one of an even smaller list that was not originally financed with public funds).
Baseball is an American treasure. When Jackie Robinson began playing for Brooklyn, he broke barriers and dealt with a lot discrimination. He handled it with courage and inspired others and helped to change the opinion of others. This all helped the Civil Rights Movement.
The Legend of Korra will only air on NickToons. After seasons are older, they may decide to sell the rights to other channels.
James Crowley does not own the rights to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" as it is a public domain work by Washington Irving, first published in 1820. Anyone can use and adapt the original story without needing permission from Crowley.
He didn't. King World Productions has owned the rights for over thirty years. The rumor that Bill Cosby bought the rights to the Little Rascals is an urban legend.
