RACIST REPUBLICANS X ARIZONA COLLAB COMMERCIAL

Arizona Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick is a strong supporter of the SB1070 bill.
The concept of this video was to challenge the main ideas of the bill and juxtapose those ideas with the fact that some players of the Diamondbacks represent the very people the
bill targets. SB1070 is a step backwards in terms of progression and should be dissolved for good. This is a slap in the face to the people that have fought for equal rights.
