Boycott Phil Jackson: Why Lakers Fans should Root for Los Suns

[Crazymaddopeyo]

The community of Los Angeles has made it crystal clear where they stand on Arizona’s controversial Senate Bill 1070, which sanctifies racial profiling as state law. The LA city council voted 13-1 to “ban most city travel there and to forgo future business contracts with companies headquartered in the state.” The Los Angeles Times Editorial Page called for the moving of the 2011 Major League Baseball All Star game from Phoenix writing, (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-baseball-20100515,0,4746253.story) “A new law in Arizona seems almost certain to lead to racial profiling against Latinos, violating the American values so integral to baseball.”

Yeah, good one Los Angeles. That should help California climb out of their $30 billion hole.

I am shocked -- shocked I tell you -- for the LA city council to take a gutsy, against-the-grain, damn-the-demographics-right-is-right stand like this given their lily-white, conservative constituency.

lol dumbass who didn't read the bill and instead just listened to what everybody else told him.

I thought the bill was changed already. Did I miss something? Why are we still talking about this?

Love this part:

"Phil Jackson has a reputation for being some sort of liberal. But he’s really more of a cliché: the 1960s flower child who has made the lucrative journey from rebel to reactionary."


God i hate that shoulder pad wearing motherfucker

Phil was one of the few guys that had the balls to call out Kobe for being a rapist..I have respect for him for doing that, speaks well about his morals..

But, then permitted the rapist to hold sway over his return.

C'mon.

Oh yeah, and then he had the courage to not give a fuck and use him to get his rediculous contract.
