This is not the time for silence. It's time for our various sports commissioners to speak.
Loudly and clearly.That means NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should make his opinion known. So should MLB Commissioner Bud Selig.The same goes for the heads of the NBA, the NHL and any other sports league that does business in Arizona.
Their collective message to Arizona should leave no room for interpretation:
If Senate Bill 1070, which requires police to question people about their immigration status and demand to see their documents if they suspect the person is in the U.S. illegally, goes into effect July 29, then you can say goodbye to a plethora of sporting events.
