If the turban or whatever is a bona-fide religious neccessity, like a yarmulka, then so what if a player wears a turban. All I care about is whether or not so and so is a damn good baseball player. Otherwise, it's just plain old racism disguised as "culture preservation". The RCMP did not lose its Canadian symbolism because a handful of Sikhs wore turbans. And baseball will still be baseball if a handful of players wear yarmulkas or turbans. Jeesh.
While you're at it, why not try to ban baseball games in other countries like Japan - after all it's an "American sport" and should not be played by non-Americans.
