Selig Shows His Weakness In Arizona Controversy

Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has shown his weakness in refusing to deal with the growing problem with Arizona's draconian immigration laws.

Here is an excerpt from a CBS News (Sports)-published story from Associated Press:

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is ignoring calls to move next year's All-Star game from Phoenix because of Arizona's new immigration law.

Asked about such demands at a news conference Thursday following an owners meeting, he responded with a defense of baseball's record on minority hiring.

"Apparently all the people around and in minority communities think we're doing OK. That's the issue, and that's the answer," he said. "I told the clubs today: 'Be proud of what we've done.' They are. We should. And that's our answer. We control our own fate, and we've done very well."

What is Selig talking about?

Selig's response is gutless and weak. He needs to step up and at least be man enough to discuss the issue head on. Instead, he starts going off on a strange track about minority hiring.

What the hell does minority hiring have to do with the issues of Arizona's outrageous law that dangerously targets Latinos?
