'Los Suns' jerseys set for Cinco de Mayo

[sammy]

Awesome, I just gained a bunch of respect for the Suns organization. Props to Steve Kerr and Steve Nash. I'll bet a lot of the fans are not happy though, racist mother ers.

I agree! Props to the Suns Organization!

[TheChillFactor]

all i know is "Los Spurs" better defend "El Point Guard" better tonight and hit some more of "Los 3 pointers" if we want to win...

The beauty of this type of decision is that this is unlikely to upset a lot of people. It obviously panders to the Latino community which is what these jerseys are supposed to do anyway. It's genius actually. Now the Suns will probably not feel the 'boycott AZ everything' because they did this.

I actually disagree with them using the jerseys to make a political statement, but not really angry with it either. I have the sneaking su ion that the Suns would have warn them anyway, and now they get the added publicity of having great timing. It will make a lot more people happy than upset.

70% of the people in Arizona support the law - don't know how many of them are Suns fans. But still, I don't think this is going to be a "slam dunk".

I wouldn't take Pop's quote for much. The fact of the matter is that if he came out against the law, the media would eat him up, which is a shame, but it is what it is. Fact is, unless Pop wants to cause distractions and controversy, he said what he should have said if he wants the Spurs to keep winning ball games.

I doubt it. Health care was way more controversial, and Pop told the media he thought the bill was stupid without a public option.

He's right.

I do. No one, NO ONE that is a Suns fan, knowing this rivalry, is going to miss this game because of a jersey that they have already worn a few times this year and for the past few years. This series means way too much to Suns fans for there to be a boycott.

I am one of those 70%ers btw.

What a stupid thing to do - just shut up and play basketball. These guys are paid to play a game, not make political statements - they should just shut the up, especially since they don't know what they're talking about. The law is fine - it's the illegals that have the problem.

They act like wearing some stupid jersey is going to make a difference. 70% of the people in Arizona support this law - so maybe the Suns shouldn't be so quick to condemn it - it'd sure be a shame to see their arena half empty tomorrow.

Illegals hurt everyone - they are a drain on the economy and crime is rampant in Arizona. But I guess those rich guys like Steve Nash don't have a clue - especially since he's a Canadian.

LOL Drain on the economy. Are you still unemployed?

I'd think a similar percentage of Texans would support a similar law. Maybe not as high, I don't know for sure.

I doubt it. Health care was way more controversial, and Pop told the media he thought the bill was stupid without a public option.

So Pop is a liberal? I always was under the impression that he would be conservative being in the Air Force Academy and all, but I guess I was wrong.

FIRE POP!!!

Just kidding!

[MannyIsGod]

Pop is an educated man, of course he's not a conservative.

Ah, the 'ole Saul Alinsky tactic of attacking your opponent. When you can't beat them on principle, just attack their reputation!

I think the suns would better honor the hispanic community by letting the spurs win the next 4 games.

You'd be surprised at how liberal the AF Academy grads can be. I'm call myself conservative, but incidentally, I agree with Pop on this one. It's all about the issue at hand, and I believe Pop's political leanings are more complex than simple red vs. blue, just like most people.

[superjames1992]

Actually, I saw that Pop donated money to John Edward's presidential campaign back in 2004. That guy used to be the Senator here in North Carolina and was an obvious bag (and then he decided to have a little affair on the side...).

Ah well, I don't really care. I just found it interesting.

Pffft

Lakers are not impressed

Sounds good to me.

I don't necessarily support this law, either, and I'm pretty far to the right. Like I've said before, I like the principle behind it but the right to detain doesn't seem right.

Of course, I also no longer support the Iraq War (what's the point of being over there now besides wasting money?) and several other supposedly conservative ideas. But, as far as economics and such, I'm very conservative.

Yeah, he was a contributor to John Edwards' campaign.

[ducks]

if you shot them that are crossing at night
you know they are not coming over legal
it would take care of the problem












for those against the law
what is the solution? when they have their kids in usa and their parents are not legal do not make them usa citizen? they are 460k illegals in az
what is the solution make them all legal? and pay taxes so the president can waste more money

[superjames1992]

Good thing Pop is better at coaching basketball than donating money to winning candidates. That site says that he is 0-2 in that regard.

Or maybe just a joke?

[phxspurfan]

What an inspiring thing to do. I'm impressed, and no longer 100% embarassed to have lived in AZ.

I think they should play 5 Mexicans the whole game if they're really serious about it.
