The following scenario could actually happen. In America. In the 21st
century ...
It's 2011 and the All-Star Game is just a few days away in Arizona. Albert
Pujols decides to take a stroll in downtown Phoenix. A police officer
drives by and doesn't realize that Pujols is a baseball icon. To the
officer, he looks potentially like an illegal alien. He is, after all,
brown skinned.
Pujols is stopped by the police. "Papers please," the officer says. If
Pujols somehow forgot to bring proof he's an American citizen on his walk,
then potentially off to jail he'd go.
Due to some of the most draconian immigration laws in the world, that
scene could actually happen to Pujols (who became an American in 2007) or
any number of other Latino baseball players who step foot in the state of
Arizona.
This is why Major League Baseball should join other boycotters and pull
the 2011 All-Star Game out of the state.
What's happening in Arizona isn't something from a science-fiction movie
or 1930s Germany. It's real and the sports world (especially baseball)
might be drastically affected because of these laws in the months and
years to come. Arizona should change its state motto from "God Enriches"
to "Papers please."
The new law gives police the right to stop, question and detain anyone "if
reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully
present in the U.S." Basically anyone who looks or sounds Latino is
targeted by the law. It's all very Fahrenheit 451.
Baseball is becoming the centrifuge of this increasingly heated argument,
which is leaking into the sports world because one-third of the sport is
Latino. There are also four managers, one general manager and an owner who
are Latino.
I can tell you that MLB is closely monitoring the situation. It's also
clear this is an issue that could eventually resonate across the entire
sports spectrum.
