If the Cubs left for that reason, I would disappointed in the franchise for letting such a petty political reason affect a ballclub.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
[1960]Yeah, why should anybody boycott the South because of Jim Crow laws? The South has a problem and it's trying to deal with it. Any boycott is just a petty political action.[/1960]

Fortunately, the law will be struck down in short order (not only for violating Equal Protection, but for violating the Supremacy Clause).

I'm a little disappointed in your analogy. I agree with you on the Supreme Court invalidating this state law. However, I think there is a stretch in equating a state attempting to enforce federal law (against illegal immigration) and having laws which were clearly unconstitutional. In Arizona's defense, it is asking for help (albeit misguidedly and, perhaps in a racist manner) as opposed to a southern state deliberately flouting federal and constitutional protections.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
