Stephen A. Smith starts this column by saying “If one thing is clear about Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070, it is that it invites stereotyping and racial profiling…”, but then goes on to say that Major League Baseball should stay out of it. He, like every sports writer, is aware of the stand that the NFL took in Arizona over the MLK, jr holiday a couple of decades ago. It took some really tortured arguing to come up with a way of saying that the NFL took a stand over civil rights, but that “stereotyping and racial profiling” by a state government isn’t somehow a civil rights issue. This is the dumbest thing I’ve read today, for sure.
