Note the basketball logo with "Noche Latina" on it.
"Golly, how can we alienate 70% of the population of the state that supports us, and show support for the 30% of the population who can't afford to come to our games?"
In a state with a lot of hispanics, this is a move calculated to draw fans more than anything else.
so stupid, they need to keep their mouthes shut and do what they are paid for and that is to play basketball....
i am so sick of sports...musicians actors etc using their platform to protest....do what your paid for and thats it...stfu....
Give up your money NBA! Give it to the illegals for tickets back to Mexico or wherever!Time for the Governor to impose an 90% surtax on NBA players only! Worked for AIG!
Diversity? Blacks make up about 12% of the population, yet they account for 82% of the players in the league. How is that "diversity?"
Spread the good news!
The Soles
has a nicer ring to it.
If this was planned before the law was signed, I think this is just looking for trouble where there is none.
If this was planned after the law passed, then the Suns deserve all the bad press they will recieve.
They’re only doing it halfway. It should be “Los Soles”.
Idiots.
Los idiots
As a lifelong Suns fan and one-time season ticket holder . . . I hope they lose. I’m finished with this franchise.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Nash said after Tuesday’s practice. “I think the law is very misguided. I think it’s, unfortunately, to the detriment of our society and our civil liberties. I think it’s very important for us to stand up for things we believe in. As a team and as an organization, we have a lot of love and support for all of our fans. The league is very multicultural. We have players from all over the world, and our Latino community here is very strong and important to us.”
Steve Nash plays basketball what does he know?
Never liked the Suns anyway and their point guard is left liberal to the bone so now I can like them even less.
If that is the FoxNews headline/title, then they are as bad as the rest of the driveby media in misleading or downright false reporting. The “Los Suns” and “Los Spurs” and “Los Lakers” jerseys have been around for a lot longer than this new law, and wearing the jerseys has everything to do with Cinco de Mayo and celebrating Latin American culture and almost nothing to do with the new Arizona law.
The NBA? Diverse?? YGTBSM. ROTFLMAO!!
...can’t have those t-shirts sales disrupt the huge profit margin, after all what else would an illegal buy with his 32,000 tax free government “gift”
I already boycott the NBA. Ever since they started predominately called fouls based on the name on the back of the jersey instead of the play on the court. I believe it was sometime in the mid 90s.
I wonder how sympathetic the NBA would be if a team wanted to express their views on other hot button political issues? For example, suppose the players wanted to wear jerseys that included a Pro-Life message, or supporting the second amendment? Better still, suppose a team owner felt strongly about having English declared the official language of this country, and had the players wear jerseys that reflected this view? How quickly do you think the NBA would step in and put a stop to it?
