From the article: Arizona Diamondbacks Profile
Baseball's leadership is hoping for a resolution to Arizona's controversial immigration law, or they'll have a huge problem heading into the 2011 All-Star Game, scheduled to be played at Chase Field in Arizona. The players' association has come out against the law, and players such as Adrian Gonzalez have said they will boycott the game if it's played in Arizona. As several star players are of Latin American descent, should baseball pull the game out of Arizona if there's no resolution to the controversy? You Make The Call
Poltics and sports don't mix
- No if MLB was going to move it they should have done so last year. No they should not move the All Star game if some players don't like it then they don't need to go or play, but next time tell the fans sooner so we won't vote for you. If the cry baby millionaires don't want to play, fine.

No
- No - baseball is a sport not a political forum. Play the game and quit playing politics.

The All-Star Game should not be moved
- It is about time someone had the courage to do what was required to stem the illegal flow of aliens into our country. I hope more states follow suit. The hardcore reaction is proof it is a workable solution to this country's illegal immigrants. Bravo ARIZONA.

Too Bad
- This is absurd. The game should NOT be moved out of Arizona. If the players don't like it, then tough. They can stay home. I'm tired of the USA being afraid to hurt everyone's feelings.

Of course
- To say politics and sport don't mix is daft. Some things are more important than a (tedious and overrated) All-Star baseball game.

Arizona is OK
- The law is the law. Just because you make a lot of money (Latin MLB players), doesn't mean we should change it. They came here legally, they should expect no less from their countrymen.

No
- No, if they don't like it, let them stay home; we don't need them playing. What part of illegal don't they understand. Send them all back home, they are not citizens and do not have any rights here in the USA.

Don't move the All-Star Game
- No way, Baseball is a game and should not play political games such as this controversy.
