AP is reporting White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen won't go to Phoenix in 2011

When I posted about Ozzie's comments yesterday they didn't include what the AP is reporting, that he won't go to Phoenix in 2011.

I'm posting this but I'm wondering if there will be a dispute about whether or not he said it because neither Chicago paper is reporting that he won't go to Phoenix in 2011. I can't imagine they would ignore that.

MLB players' union opposes Arizona immigration law

By BEN WALKER (AP) – 12 hours ago

NEW YORK — Given a chance to take part in the 2011 All-Star game at Arizona, Ozzie Guillen insists he won't go.

"I wouldn't do it," the Chicago White Sox manager said Friday. "As a Latin American, it's natural that I have to support our own."

Guillen joined a growing chorus of opposition to Arizona's new law that empowers police to determine a person's immigration status. The state is home to all four major team sports, hosts half the clubs in spring training and holds top events in NASCAR, golf and tennis.

The Major League Baseball players' union issued a statement condemning the law. A congressman whose district includes Yankee Stadium wrote a letter to baseball commissioner Bud Selig urging him to pull the All-Star game from Phoenix. The World Boxing Council took a step to limit fights in Arizona.

I'm a northsider and lifelong Cubs fan. Ozzie's making me consider switching sides. :)
