    Hispanic players plan to boycott next year’s All-Star game

    Today Major League Baseball will celebrate its best and brightest with its annual All-Star game out in California. Some of baseball’s best players are Hispanic; in fact almost 30% of the league is made up of Hispanic athletes. So when Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer announced the new immigration law in Arizona one could imagine that there would be fall out from some MLB players.

    Soon after some MLB players were asked if they agreed with the new law and if baseball should move their game out of the state. There were calls for an economic boycott of Arizona and the city of Los Angeles even joined in with the throngs of people to impose an embargo on the state.

    Yesterday a few Hispanic ball players were asked if they would truly boycott the game when it heads to Arizona next year.

    “If the game is in Arizona, I will totally Boycott,â€

    If those players boycott...they should be kicked off of the team. It's supposed to be about the game of baseball, not politics.

    What about when they go to AZ to play the Diamondbacks? Shouldn't them and the protesters demand all games played in AZ be boycotted?
