'Los Suns' jerseys ready for Game 2 in wake of Arizona law‎

[donjuan]

Okay genius, I never said I was against immigration, I said I was against ILLEGAL immigration. The Irish migrated here LEGALLY. I have no problems with people immigrating here LEGALLY.

Lulz. What a backtrack from your initial post.

This thread took a ridiculous turn after the initial post.

The NBA and the Suns organization are using Cinco de Mayo and the recent immigration bill to reach out to a larger fan base, boosting revenue and interest in the playoffs. That's the extent of it. It's about more money, and no different than any other advertising campaign.

Very good, I agree with this. The owners and management of the Suns probably have no real interest in Hispanic people. They just want to generate more revenue.

The Chinese are laughing at all you idiots. Americans of all races better start getting along and prepare to go to war with the Chinese and Muslims. Notice they don't preach diversity, or run around hugging trees and saving yellow-bellied toads. You know why, cause much like Hitler, they are just buliding up to take you dumb fukks out.

Legally, actually. Grandpa came over by himself first, Worked hard and brought his family across a few years later. About forty years ago. And I am not concerned with those that came here 30 - 50 years ago, illegally. But it has gotten to the point where something needs to be done and it seems like whether you think the law is good, bad, most can agree that the border needs to be shut down...Crossing over illegally is truly getting off the on the wrong foot.

Give out a million green cards, Visas or whatever I don't care. Make em pay two grand for their two years of Health care, which they will gladly do, considering they often pay their "coyote" at least that much.

Going about issues the wrong way and not giving the will of the people it's proper due does lead to racism and such, and that is unfortunate...This whole issue is somewhat unfortunate, but again, I believe there is a lot we can agree on. But we must not be lead by strictly emotions, although I understand why people often are.

That's fine, and their right, but they also must suffer the consequences if it alienates others as well.

well said, kid

I don't like this law because it does nothing to shut the border down. Alot more could be done with less resources to nip the problem in the bud. I as an American, would not feel comfortable being profiled & having to carry papers to prove my citizenship of this country, as I know hispanic & mexican americans don't. It's uncalled for & doesn't solve anything

[Jonah]

People said the same exact things when the Irish came here in large numbers. Taking our jobs, exploiting our social services, etc. The irony was clearly lost on you because, quite frankly, you're a moron.

See, this is a big part of the problem as well...Mexicans have traditionally been an extremely hard working and prideful group of people...But why work when there are so many freebies around? It is only human take the easier road...

So, now when many cross the border, they still may come over wide eyed and ready to take advantage of this land of opportunity through hard work, only to find themselves in communities that look a lot like home, with people ( other immigrants, do gooders with political interests) showing them how to take advantage of the system...

And their kids are still prideful. Prideful to the point of shooting people when they look at them the wrong way.

So to sum it up what is unfortunate is the true racism all this can cause, and the lame accusations of racism when people are just trying to protect their communities.

I agree. Again, I think there is a lot we can agree on* when we are not being lead by the media and politicians trying make their living off this issue...Although this does not excuse those politicians that are doing nothing and just hope this problem magically goes away.

Good Talking with Y'all

* This is true for so many issues.

legalizing marijuana would cut the violence factor down 70% day 1. And unload the prisons of unviolent people that are costing taxpayers. With 1/10 of that money we could put an electric fukin fence around the whole fukin country if that's what they want

[PAYTON20]

Keep this left wing liberal bullshit out of my sports. This is why I gamble- this is MY money! Not one penny goes to welfare, Obamacare, or any other tax sucking program.

[Killer_Demo]

i hate politics mixed with sports

[stealthyburrito]

just adding another storyline to feed to the public to add drama to the series.

[Grandmaster B]

Okay dude, I am not talking about the 1800s here. I am talking about current illegal immigrants who are mostly Mexicans and people from Central America. The Mexican government should be responsible for its people, not the United States and its taxpaying citizens.

you speak about taxes?...the illegals do the jobs you or your father would NEVER do

and

they pay taxes out of their wages to uncle sam and get NOTHING back come tax time

your brain is the same size as a gerbals

fukk yourself. the chinese are the most un-athletic people on the planet. You guys suck at every sport except ping pong

I don't think slowly taking our country over economically then militarily by pure mass numbers is a sport, but if it becomes one they may win the gold

The large majority of Hispanics here didn't come to America, America came to them dipshit

Very wise comment. Dam I didn't know so many racist bit*hes were on this site.
First of all fu*k that racist bitc* who passed that law, someone should and will kill her for this. Hopefully Obama steps up and shuts her as* up and take away this stupid law. Arizona is more than 50% Hispanic and she wants to pass this racist law what a joke, there's going to be lots of riots and many cop killings because of all of this.
I'm glad to see the Suns respect the Hispanic community and they should keep the jerseys throughout the playoffs. Suns WIN big tonight.

uhhhhh........thanks, I guess, for saying I made a wise comment, but I think saying someone should kill the governor is going a bit too far, don't ya think?

[floridagolfer]

If the Suns truly want to honor the diversity of the league, they should print part of tonight's program in Greek, part of it in Italian, part of it in Portuguese, part in Croatian, part in Russian, part in Spanish, part in whatever language it is they speak in Zaire, part in German, part in Chinese . . . you get my point.

I don't give a damn what athletes and sports personalities think of political issues.

[THE PROFIT]

I know that all those nationalities play in the NBA, but halk the population of their state, their fans who support them & buy tickets & merchandise, speak Spanish & today is a holiday they celebrate

[teaserpleaser]

Hey Sam...F*ck Off you retarded spic.

Go pick some grapes in your own Country...Oh, that's right, you can't grow anything down there in Hell, except Tequila.

alienating at least half their fanbase? brilliant move suns.....

"The large majority of Hispanics here didn't come to America, America came to them"

That is one of the dumbest things I have read in awhile.

Haha it is going to far, but the bitc* is only doing this to get recognition and fame. She's just making it a bigger problem and will bring alot of tension between whites and hispanics.

How is that dumb its the truth, did you ever finish elementary? Native Americans and Mexicans were the first ones here dumbas*.

This would definitely be a smart idea that the government should look into. Give them there green cards for 2 grand they sometimes pay over 3 grand to try getting here so they would definitely take this deal,especially because they are taking a huge risk crossing ( beaten, raped,killed, deported back). Also this money will help us stop all these budget cuts especially in our school systems.

[konck]

I dying in the playoffs now almost every game is going to the PUBLIC

[Sunde91]

How is that dumb its the truth, did you ever finish elementary? Native Americans and Mexicans were the first ones here dumbas*.

The vast, VAST majority of Mexicans in the US are 1st and 2nd generation, some 3rd, rarely anything before that, i.e. they came to the US, it and it didn't "come to them".

There were little to no Mexicans in the US territories of the West after Mexico lost the Mexican-American War and the US annexed New Mexico, Cali, Arizona, etc. way back in 1848.

And they were the first ones here, therefore they have some intrinsic right or bondage to the land? lol The superior nation won out. You lost.

I like how you say Natives AND Mexicans because you don't even know how to classify yourself. On one-hand you will identify yourselves as "Natives" when favorable, and on the other, you will classify yourselves as "Mexicans" when favorable.

It goes: Spainiards --> Spaniards mix with Amerindians --> Mexicans

Natives, or "Mexicans" always blame US when it was Spain and then Mexico stole who first stole "their/their own land".

[Snowball]

The fictional Aztlan territories north of the Rio Grande are nothing more than a Mestizo imperialist desire themselves !! America did NOT "come to" the Hispanics. It only came to the Indians.
All territories north of the Rio Grande were Apache. Now, before someone calls me a "racist" for using the word, mestizo.. see what wiki says. "In contrast to what was the general rule in the rest of North America, the history of the colony of New Spain was one of racial intermingling (mestizaje). Mestizos quickly came to account for a majority of the colony's population; however, significant numbers and communities of indígenas (as the native peoples are now known) survive to the present day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas#Mexico

The TRUTH is that there is NO LEGITIMATE "hispanic" claim for anything north of Mexico,
AND THERE NEVER WAS.

[brooks85]

lol clearly you need to separate native americans from people who performed an exodus from mexico in the 1980s up until now

[ANGRYBLACK]

"Suns" is English, though...

[THEGREAT30]

Good moves Suns, but the world is the devil's domain, you will lose because he will try to bring you down whenever you try to do good, good day

[bigsmitty]

Los Suns Profitability?

I wonder how much the jerseys may affect the game outcome. I personally think that Phoenix and a lot of the nation will use the jerseys to catapult into a strong win over the spread. Many people will cite it as a "feel good story" for the NBA and multiculturalism in general. With the balance in team stats, home court advantage and the "lets all get along" jerseys I call Phx to cover the spread and probably win by 10. I personally just want to use the info to profit...that's the Canadian way baby! Cheers and good luck all.
