It’s a game that transcends all barriers and brings America together, reminding us of what makes us unique: our diversity.
Yet, baseball is in danger of losing that reputation. The 2011 Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game is currently scheduled to take place in Arizona, a state where many of the players themselves would be profiled by Arizona’s new anti-immigrant law that essentially sanctions racial profiling and makes Latinos and others suspect based on their skin color or their accents.
There’s a good reason that we call baseball America’s favorite pastime—all across the country, communities gather to watch and play games, and root for their favorite players and team.
We need to pressure MLB to pull the 2011 All-Star Game from Arizona, and uphold our nation’s commitment to diversity and tolerance.
Join us in making sure that our national pastime is free of discrimination and urge MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to move the 2011 All-Star Game from Arizona!
After that, we'll prompt you to pick your favorite team(s) and send a letter to the general manager(s), and ask them to urge Mr. Selig to move the game, too!
