To: Peace will be here soon

I agree " the government refuses to address an issue it has created", and the owner is acting within his legal bounds. But just as it is legal for the hate America crowd to trash Washington with protests, that doesn’t make it right.

For some reason when it comes to making money "legally", any argument or legal protest with a moral high ground looses, since the right to earn money and the right to exercise freedom of speech prevails. Take pornography for example, it can be within legal bounds, but it is but desirable for a healthy country.

Also, just as before the civil war, it could have been said slave owners were acting within their legal rights to plagiarize the underclass, so it could be said that continuing to aid Spanish speaking, although legal, it is very detrimental to this country, in terms of creating a new “slave” underclass, and a mass of population that is uncontrollable by the government, but one of which desires socialism ideally while operating on anarchy realistically, and that of which people have the right to protest, legally themselves all the players involved.

You have to be kidding. Comparing a baseball team owner to a pornographer and a slave owner?

This guy is not doing anything morally reprehensible.

Now, if he required everyone to speak spanish inside the baseball stadium then I would have to take a different opinion.

But this owner is simply trying to keep his business afloat in a environment he has no control over. An environment government placed upon him.

So in your view, any business in the U.S. that makes an effort to sell products to someone who doesn`t speak English is somehow acting unethical?

I think it is a matter of dealing with reality. It is obvious our government will not correct this problem, so what is a business owner suppose to do? Just shut the doors and go on welfare?

You cannot force people to shop at your place of business, so you must adapt your business to the customer base.

I think the fingers need to point at the government, not this baseball team owner.

Baseball is not porn or slavery. I think to make your point you need to find another comparison.
