All Latino team

As a response to the fact there were not enough latin players on the MLB all century team. However there was a semi-legitimate reason for no latinos to be on the all century team. They weren't many latino ball players in the past century in MLB. Sure that has changed, and changed ALOT. Some of it might have been racism (as was the case with blacks in MLB) but mostly it was the fact that latinos had not been brought into the league yet. Thus there were not many in the league last century to enable them to be ON the team.

That said I have no more problem with it than I do with BET (which i do have an issue). I just don't like the double standard on allowing ethnic themed anything when if it was an all-white theme, it would be protested and hated.

Oh well. I still don't like St. Patricks day too. (not even jsut casue those dirty micks get hammered and puke and fight in the streets!!!)
