Protesting A-Rod’s suspension: Can we not make this an ethnic thing?

October 1, 2013

Alex Rodriguez Limited Edition Legends Of The Diamond Bobble Head New (2004)I’m not a big Ales Rodriguez fan, but I do think MLB is trying to pull a fast one with its 211-game suspension, more than double any of the others handed down this season. Due process and all, yo. So the following is brought to you as a public service announcement. (Personally, I don’t think this should be an ethnic thing, but a legal thing. Just sayin’.)

FYI, from the organization Hispanics Across America, offered without any editing (so the typos and mispunctuations aren’t mine for a change).
PRESS ADVISORY: A-ROD FANS PREPARE FOR A WEEK OF PROTESTS AGAINST RANDY LEVINE, NY YANKEES & MLB

211 game suspension is outrageous and unacceptable, justice must prevail

HAA President Fernando Mateo will be joined by dozens of A-Rod fans to send a clear message to Bud Selig and the Arbitrator he appointed to find A-Rod guilty of being associated with the Bio Genesis Lab. “A-Rod has been drug tested more than any Major League Player and has never tested positive for the use of steroids.  Randy Levine and the NY Yankees are responsible for this unfair 211 game suspension”, said Mateo.

This will be a long week of protests starting Monday and ending with a possible 24-hour vigil in front of the MLB’s headquarters from Thursday into Friday. We want the arbitrators, MLB and the NY Yankees to hear us loud and clear. We are the fans, we are the people. “The punishment does not fit the crime, A-Rod is innocent. If A-Rod is found guilty by association a 50 game suspension like every 1st time offender would be fair”, said Mateo

Protesters will be wearing #13 Jerseys and tee shirts honoring one of the best Players to ever play the game of Baseball.

What:             A-Rod fans protest Randy Levine, NY Yankees & MLB a weeklong

 When:             Tuesday, October 1, 10:00 A.M.

 Where:           MLB Headquarters, 245 Park Avenue, New York City
