This is after the Suns were protesting the new law in AZ:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?" - This was posted by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on FaceBook
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark!
I’ll bet the Suns don’t have the cojones to answer those questions.
Can we interest you in a house on Pennsylvania Avenue, ma’am?
Something tells me the Sun’s owner is playing out of his league.......
And the NBA wouldn’t let them have any authority over these decisions.
I'm willing to bet that like most professional sports teams, "Los Suns" is probably on some form of welfare that enables the team to play in its arena for far less than the actual cost, with the balance being picked up by the taxpayer. Perhaps it is time that this relationship, if it exists, be terminated. It is not right for taxpayers to be forced to put money in the pockets of ungrateful welfare recipients.
That’s pretty damm good
I like this woman more and more
Jan Brewer has more spine, guts, and gonads than 98% of the eunuchs in the GOP.
Good for her!
“In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
- attributed to George Orwell
Nailed him big time
Since she said this back during the playoffs and the coward Suns owner has yet to respond I guess we know what his answer would be
They aren't doing that already? they must be racists
Brilliant.
I hope The Suns team goes bankrupt.
The government should pass a law or executive order noting the Sun’s must give away 20% of all tickets, 20% of all food and beverages, etc.
See if the suns owner likes it.
I saw it suggested on FR, for these sports teams who oppose the Arizona law, a big crowd of people with no tickets should show up at one of their games and just walk in. No violence, no noise, no fuss, just all together, walk to the turnstiles and calmly step over them, such a large group that they couldn’t do anything about it. Call themselves “undocumented ticket holders” or something. Then they all demand to stay for the game, demand food and drinks, etc.
Game Over!! Gov Brewer is on a whole different playing field.
Never mind waiting for the government...WE should Freep the place on game day with signs saying:
Racist Suns charge illegals for tickets, beer, hotdogs!
etc.
It is more evident how racist Los Suns are being that they paint border lines around the court and if anyone from the stands crosses these borders then they are ejected from the game.
