Major League Baseball is scheduled to host the 2011 All-Star Game in Phoenix in July 2011. BOOO!! Other than the World Series, the All-Star Game represents the most high-profile and prestigious game every season in baseball.

So many baseball players are Latino and there is a huge Latino fan base, too. How could baseball responsibly hold a game in Phoenix when they know much of their fan base could be harassed for being "suspicious" i.e. brown skinned while in town to attend the game? Some fans are cleverly trying to get the game moved outta Phoenix. Check out their fight, sign the petition and drop a freaking banner, why don't ya!
