This has nothing to do with SB1070. Dozens of teams do this every May 5. Not that I like it, but it’s been done for 10 or 15 years. The Mets have “Los Mets” etc.

IDIOTS! It’s not about Latino’s; it’s about immigration! When will they ever get it?

Pure Barbara Streissand.

NBA teams have been wearing “los” jerseys all year. Los Suns... Los Spurs.... Los whatevever. Have you notice the in court ads for the NBA? NEN-BEE AY? Or something like that?

The NBA has been sucking up to hispanics all year. Any idea that wearing Los Suns jerseys is now a political statement designed to protest the Arizona immigration law is a complete and utter lie.

But what else would you expect from the MSM???

Maybe when a suit case nuke or major plague is unleashed they’ll finally get it, but until then, no way, they are looney as looney gets ...

Cinco de Mayo in the United States is nothing but a “Beer Holiday” for Budweiser and Corona to sell more beer. It is also “Amateur Night” for all the rookie drinkers who will try to drive after having too much to drink.

I knew there were more reasons I hated basketball besides their criminal loudmouthed players....

I can now add they publicly support open borders and illegal aliens.

I’m sure the Suns will probably make an extra million or so bucks selling those jerseys now.

The decision to wear the jerseys on the Cinco de Mayo holiday stems from a law...

That's what AP says. Is that what the Suns say? I looked for a press release on their site, and couldn't find it.

Sports teams have no business putting themselves on one side of a political issue, especially since their paying fans are likely supporters of the law in question.

I haven’t watched any Pro Basketball since a couple years back when we found out the referees were bribed to throw a playoff game. Basketball is the equivalent of professional wrestling.

I’ve seen the added name thingee somewhere else recently...I think the D-Backs or the Dodgers did something like that.

I wasn’t sure that I could care less about pro basketball but this proves that I can reach a new level of apathy.

Hey, American citizens should start boycotting.

These businesses want to get involved in politics (I thought the left wanted to ban that?) then we should make OUR voices known.

Maybe the caucasian NBA players should stand up and request a jersey for their heritage as well.....

I could see that. "Dang Wizards!" No, wait...

Here's your former president celebrating Cinco De Mayo up in the White House.
