Yes, the Mexican Open must go on as scheduled, despite the cartel violence in Mexico City. It’s a symbol of defiance against oppression and a testament to the power of human resilience. But let’s not pretend that the tournament organizers are oblivious to the danger - they’re either naive or complicit in this charade. The devil is in the details: who knows what security arrangements are in place to protect the players, the staff, and the audience? We can do better than this. The Mexican government should take concrete steps to address the root causes of the violence before allowing such an event to unfold. Anything less would be a farce.
