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.

"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? "

Yes, if one looks at the facts that 85% of those who speak Spanish are illegal immigrants, and then 85% of these business are catering to illegal activity although the owner is within his legal rights to do so, which I agree with you … Porn or slavery are and or were two legal activities, that were given as examples of legal activities that have been detrimental to our country. . These are not opinions; these are facts.

The opinion I do have is that any business owners has a right to make money, but also if they are to be valued in high regard, they also have an obligation to the legal law abiding people of this country. Sure it’s the governments obligations to enforce the laws, and to crack down on those importing the working salve class for profits But in this case this owner is not trying to help the situation, he is plagiarizing the legal citizens by enticing more illegal workers to live in this country with the amenities of home, e.g. Spanish media, and also hurting legal immigrants as well for not allowing them to immerse into Americana with English broadcasting, selah
