A mushrooming group of protesters against Arizona's immigration law grew to a few hundred at the entrance to Dodger Stadium on Monday evening as the L.A. team prepared to play the Diamondbacks.

Shouting "Boycott Arizona!" and carrying placards reading "Boycott Arizona Diamondbacks," among other slogans, the protesters sought to gain the attention of fans driving into the stadium to watch a three-game series opener against the Arizona team.

Swelling the ranks of protesters were more than 100 members of the Service Employees International Union.

“We’re not going to stop them from attending the game,” said organizer John Morales. “They’ve already bought their tickets. We’re trying to make a connection between sports and politics.… The Diamondback team is not just from Arizona, the ownership has contributed to the Republican Party that has spearheaded the legislation.”

1. As a Dodger fan,

I don't mind not getting tix to Diamondback games, but wouldn't it be a bit hypocritical since our Boys in Blue (Including Andre Ethier BIG SIGH!!! HEARTS!!!) train in AZ?

In my heart of hearts I've always considered sports a much-needed safe haven from politics.

2. What is so sad about this is the people who put that law into place don't give a crap about the

protests, or the boycotts.

Everyday Brewer has another facebook post (yes, she's be pallin' around with Palin) about how wonderful this bill is and all her little sheeple respond by telling her she is the best, and how they are boycotting all the states that are boycotting Az.


Help Az elect Democrats - please! You can start with a great one at my link.

3. And on the other side

People protesting a baseball game? I had no idea the owner and the players write AZ laws.
