PHOENIX - The Phoenix Suns will wear "Los Suns" on their jerseys Wednesday for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, owner Robert Sarver said, "to honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league, the state of Arizona, and our nation."
The decision to wear the jerseys on the Cinco de Mayo holiday stems from a law passed by the Arizona Legislature and signed by Gov. Jan Brewer that has drawn widespread criticism from Latino organizations and civil rights groups that say it could lead to racial profiling of Hispanics. President Barack Obama has called the law "misguided."

Isn’t Nash a Canadian?
What are immigration laws to the north of us like?
Maybe we could ship the illegals there.
Anyway, thanks for supporting lawbreakers, NBA.
Like, that is nothing new?

Un sol, dos soles. It’s not something one uses much, being as Earth has only one sun.

If they really want to make a statement then they need to refuse to ask fans to show a ticket when they enter the arena or attempt to go down to the courtside seats instead of up to the nosebleed section. After all, it is just racial profiling to ask to see any identification or documentation proving they are authorized to sit in those seats.

Excellent point - crash the turnstiles and yell “racists” when they try to eject you!

Just one more reason I hope the Spurs beat the pompous, posturing stuffing out of them.

I have not been to a NBA game since The Zinc stopped calling the games for the 76’ers.
Watching a bunch of guys throwing a ball through a metal ring can get boring real quick.

Senor, that courtside seat you paid $1500 for is now a sanctuary chair. Viva la Raza!

Why not wear a photo of the murdered rancher? Better yet, start sewing a quilt with pictures of American citizens murdered by illegal aliens added to it.

Is pretty sad when here in Texas that Cinco de Mayo holiday has more of a following/celebration rite than an infinitely more important day: San Jacinto Day (April 21)
recognizing the day Texas won/sealed its independence from Mexico
when General Sam Houston and his charges b**ch slapped Mexican general Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón s army.

True, in four years of Spanish class the usage never once came up.

Don’t stop at illegals. Shouldn’t anyone be able to crash the gate, and if they don’t have enough money for food and beverages, shouldn’t the ticket holders have to pay for the free-loaders?
