And if one of the players refused to wear the jersey?

A good reason not to subsidize sports teams and their arenas and stadiums with public money. What a crock!

70% of Arizonans are in favor of the law, so it's a safe bet that an even higher % of AZ sports fans favor it (since most sports fans are men, and most men in AZ are conservative). Bad move by the Suns.

People should spend two minutes to do a little googling and find out that they have been doing this for years for Cinco de Mayo.

If the Suns put there money where the mouth is they would take their security away from the game and allow illegal spectators to watch and deal with the season ticket holders who don’t get seats.

Go to the game without tickets and demand to be let in. Or, sneak in.

After all, you have a right to be there.

IIRC, didn’t the MFL give Chad Ochocinco all kinds of grief for wearing a sombrero to a game to celebrate his heritage?

This really stinks! I’m a big fan of the Suns and I’m so upset over this! As if we don’t have enough crap going on around here now the Phoenix Suns have decided to slam their politcal views into the game.

Just curious ... why sport the “latino” jersey? Why not an international one? Okay, so its Cinco de Mayo ... but did the Suns wear “O’Suns” for St.Patrick’s Day in honor or the Irish fans?

Who’s being racist now?

"Los Suns."

Shouldn't that be Los Sols? If I were hispanic, I would be deeply offended at this.

Chill out, people !!!

The Suns have worn the Los Suns jersey before this Arizona law came about. If it coincides with Cinco de Mayo and celebrates LEGAL Mexican culture then LET IT GO!

Forget the stupid individual comments. We don’t hold athletes up to be the brightest just as we don’t do with other entertainment people.

This issue is really a non-issue. Please move along and spend your energy on something more worthwhile.

In honor of their decision to do this the fans should throw full water bottles at them.

Who needs Robert Horry? The Suns ownership may have just hip-checked much of their fan base along with their playoff hopes into the scorers table.

The idiocy of the owner turning the team's most critical playoff series in years into a divisive political statement is beyond staggering.

I've been a hardcore fan for almost twenty years. Attended hundreds of games, a season ticket holder for three years, my family watch damn near every game every year from pre-season till they're booted out of the playoffs. We've bought more jerseys, shirts, and Suns' knickknacks than we can count. Our family is passionate about the Suns. And I'm angry and sick to my stomach about this news. For the first time since '92 my family and I will intentionally not watch the Suns play basketball.

It's one thing for players like Amare or Steve Nash, a notorious Liberal, to spout off on this type of issue. It is an entirely different matter when the Suns organization makes an official business decision to endorse a political statement. We bitterly resent this grossly inappropriate intrusion of politics into sports. We refuse to subsidize our beloved team's transformation into a political prop.
