"It really damages our civil liberties, I think that it opens the potential for racial profiling [and] racism," Suns guard Steve Nash said.

They have been doing this for years. This is not a reaction to the new law.

Savers apparently honors the murderer of Mr. Krenz and the shooter of Pinal Deputy Puroll.

A more appropriate jersey would be “Los Idiots”. If I was a season ticket holder, I would not renew for next season and make sure management knew why I was canceling. When did the sports industry become so limp wristed?

One of our vendors was trying to give away tickets for the Suns today and nobody, I mean nobody, would take them.

I think that, in solidarity, they should also give back any tax breaks they might have received from the city of Phoenix or the State of Arizona. Don’t want that dirty, racist money.

I didn’t think I could despise the NBA more than I do already.

Maybe someone will honor the illegal immigrant supporters by sneaking into the game without a ticket. Bingo!

Another special class of people supported by government welfare supporting another class of future welfare recipients. Let them build their own arenas to play in.
To: ianschwartz
Los Suns? Sexists.
To: ianschwartz
THAT’S GREAT!
THE NBA SUPPORTS CRIMINALS!
BUT THEN, NOST OF THEIR PLAYERS
ARE CRIMINALS TOO, AREN’T THEY?
THE PHOENIX SUNS CAN TAKE A FLYING BURRITO TO BEANER TOWN!
GOOD LUCK DRAWING FANS FROM YOUR ILLEGAL BASE!
JUST WHAT I NEED ... ANOTHER REASON NOT TO WATCH THE NBA!
