I saw my first Lakers game as a boy, when my late father took me to watch the team play the Cincinnati Royals at the old Sports Arena. I was hooked for life, and though I have an indefensibly immoderate fondness for nearly all sports, the Lakers remain, for me, a team apart. At least they were. I can't bring myself to root against the Lakers in their current playoff series with the Phoenix Suns, but neither can I support them unless the club formally repudiates Coach Phil Jackson's endorsement of Arizona's mean-spirited new anti-immigrant law.

Arizona has had enough of dead ranchers and federal border guards! The federal government will not enforce the law on the books so Arizona will do the job of protecting American citizens that the feds won't do! I guess you are unaware of conditions on the border. Go down there and have a look for yourself before spouting off!

Scuse me.....I searched and found no thread before posting.
I emailed him and asked if I could have his tickets..
Good one!
Isn’t Jackson something of a lefty?
He’s right on this, and good for him for standing up.
Yes he is but he recognizes “ridiculous” when he sees it....
Interesting. So you can only voice your opinion if you agree? Sounds a little too much like the the U.S.S.A (OOPS) I mean U.S.S.R.
Exactly.....I can’t imagine what the kids are being taught in schools we pay for.

You have to remember this guy is to the left of about anyone in the US (including Harold Myerson IMO). He’s also on the LA Times Editorial Board and a well respected member of the LA Times staff. His writing while his own is widely reflected in the LA Times on both the Editorial and News pages. That’s why this paper is doing so well financially and circulation wise.
The left is all for racial profiling when it comes to counting white men for denegration. I for one vote that Nash the PC priest leave the NBA and give his spot to one of the “oppressed.”
It’s just so mean spirited to keep those nice kidnappers out of the state. They only want to cut off body parts of their “guests” and send them to family members in order to make a living. /s

Phil Jackson has so many championship rings (10) he has to have the next one sized for his big toe. I doubt he cares whether or not this tub-o-lard supports him or not.
Um, Rutten must have been one of the 15 “protesters,” aka Los Dummies, outside of Monday’s game. Woo hoo.
