All-Star Game Boycott

I still don't get this whole blog thing, but if I must I must.

I believe we as Hispanics should take a stand with this immigration thing. Arizona is the state that started these anti-Hispanic laws. They have a high valued event this coming week. One that they have been waiting years for.

If you haven't guessed it by now, it's the Major League Baseball's All-Star Game. It's an event in which players and celebs compete against each other in a softball game, home run derby, and concluding with the All-Star Game. It is a big event for the state, the MLB, and advertisers across the country.

We should boycott the game and all that leads up to it. Not only attending it, but watching it on television. I believe that it will not only show Arizona that we mean business, but also the networks and advertisers.

I firmly believe that the players and celebs should boycott this event as well. With Hispanics making up about 30% of the players in the league, more than either of the other three major sports in the United States, they and us should use this opportunity to take a stand against blatant racism.
