Antonio Spurs
Los Suns Stick It To The Man And To San Antonio
The Phoenix Suns have changed the name on their jerseys to Los Suns, protesting the recently passed Arizona immigration law. The passage of SB 1070 has provoked positive reactions, but it seems the louder response is negative. The Suns owner, Robert Sarver revealed his intent to give the team bright orange jerseys with the team name changed to Los Suns for their May 5 playoff against the San Antonio Spurs. Some people may even want to put some money now into getting replicas.
NBA sides with Los Suns
The NBA is standing behind the Los Suns jersey and the Arizona immigration law protest, according to AZcentral. There has been discussion of boycotts of Arizona sports, including calls for Commissioner Bud Selig to move the 2011 MLB All Star game out of Arizona. NBA Commissioner David Stern, when asked for comment, did not think the jerseys ran afoul at all.
Los Suns backed by San Antonio Spurs too
The San Antonio Spurs and the NBA Players Union both hailed the Suns for their actions. They weren’t in favor of losing to Los Suns, and they did so on Cinco De Mayo going down 110-102. (They also lost Game 1, 111-102.) They are now down 2 games to Los Suns. The San Antonio Spurs supposedly wanted to change their name to Los Spurs as well, but couldn’t get the jerseys in time. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich as well as others in the Spurs organization praised the Suns and lamented the law.
Los Suns players all for it
The Phoenix Suns had previously worn the same jerseys in March for NBA Noche Latina night, and Sarver decided to get them out of storage. The bill has been blasted by Steve Nash, Los Suns players, and Canadian citizen playing for Phoenix on a green card. He believes it presents too easy an opportunity for an egregious abuse of civil liberties. The Los Suns jersey had a mixed reaction from Arizonans, though the jerseys were unanimously approved by the Phoenix Suns players.
