Los Moochers
You know about the open-borders sympathizing Phoenix Suns and their “Los Suns” uniform stunt.
They’ve got the support of both the basketball and baseball players associations:
The National Basketball Players Association said in a statement yesterday that the Arizona immigration law is “disappointing and disturbing” and called for its repeal or modification. The players’ union also praised the Suns.
“We applaud the actions of Phoenix Suns players and management and join them in taking a stand against the misguided efforts of Arizona lawmakers,” said the statement by NBPA Executive Director Billy Hunter.
Last week, the Major League Baseball Players Association also criticized the Arizona law and said the union “will consider additional steps necessary to protect the rights and interests of our members.”
And basketball and baseball fans who support immigration enforcement, national security, and the rule of law should consider taking the proper steps to protect their rights and interests — by voting with their feet and refusing to do business with open-borders sports organizations.
Perhaps Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver should stop shoving politics down his ticket-buyers’ throats, mind his own business — and stop using our taxpayers dollars to keep him afloat. A reminder from the Phoenix New Times:
Forget the expensive business conferences: The greatest example of government bailout excess may just be Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, whose banks have taken $140 million in Troubled Asset Relief Program funds.
Yeah, it must be nice to be the CEO of a couple of banks that need massive public assistance and still be able to afford your own a basketball team.
“Afford” being a relative term. With trade rumors raging, Sarver’s reportedly seeking to shed $40 million from his team’s payroll in order to make ends meet. In other words, you’re helping Sarver keep his banks even as he short-changes your team.
New uniform proposal: Los Moochers. If the shirt fits…

Jump the turnstyle, shoot the security guards, demand free food and drinks, bring cocaine and pot to sell to anyone in the crowd, including minors. Then get incensed and cry racism and profiling when you are asked to leave.
It’s hilarious that the NBA — Deadbeat Dad Central — is getting preachy about the rest of us not wanting to support illegal aliens. Get some of your fellow players to pay for their own kids before you chastise the rest of us for not wanting to support somebody else’s family — and an illegal one at that.
JD–LOL!
Bwaahahahahahaha! GO BRUINS!
Oh Well. Just watch, when the ticket sales tank it will be Joe Arpio and the Tea Party that caused it.
Go Governor Brewer.
Only a Phoenix Sun could come up with the political and fan building equivalent of Coyote Love.
PC is Thought Control
Only for the jobs and government handouts. Work and benefits evaporate and stay gone for illegals, they go home and stay there.
The huge sums of money they send collectively to their relatives back in the home countries adds considerably to those nations revenues.
Nah, free bus tickets to San Franciso or Washington DC. Those places are more deserving of them than San Diego.
That team is nothing but an animated political poster. let’s hope ticket sales tank and the dirtbags go broke.
Everybody who agrees with the new law should just stop going to Suns games so there’ll be plenty of room for complimentary seats for their illegal friends. He can’t make payroll now – let’s see how long it takes him to go broke.
I will add this to my list of reasons why I do not support the NBA-
I find it interesting that the most inconsequential people in our society seem to think their opinions count most – in this case, a bunch of overgrown apes who play a children’s game for a living.
If illegals show up for Los Games, can we arrest them and send them back where they came from?
For the First time in my life I am ashamed to wear the Purple & Orange in Grizzlies terroritory. I may have to change teams and root for the Grizz!
37 years as a Suns fan, and I may have to give up one of my few sports passions that I have followed since a third grader Creighto Elementry School.

Perhaps the NBA should stop to think – Gee a majority of Americans support this measure – Gee they’re the ones with money that can afford to buy the tickets………….maybe if we don’t agree we should just keep our mouth shut so we don’t piss off those that can actually buy the tickets. But alas, even our Spurs got involved.
*Please Ty85719, let’s keep it a little more civil than that; There are many good people in the NBA, of all races; Remember Dave Bing?; One of the best, and a gentleman to boot, trying at present to turn Detroit around as their Mayor; The NBA has more than enough thugs, I’ll agree, but I implore you to stop with the racist comments here on MM’s site.
“Cinco de Mayo” (May 5th) is also Karl Marx’s birthday.
No wonder the leftists love this “holiday”.
Spot on, both of you. Bravo!
Sorry if something like this has been said already, but wouldnt it be great if the portion of the season ticket holders making up the 70% of the people in Arizona that support this bill boycotted the Phoenix Suns! Turnabout being fair play. Or how about if those people still go to the game, but they boo long and loud at the home team.
Arizona Diamondbacks at Houston Astros, May 5, 2010 7:05 PM CDT
The game is right outside my hotel window here in Houston at the moment. Glad I decided not to waste my money this week by buying any tickets.
Boulder suspends official travel to Arizona over immigration law – Boulder Daily Camera
Guess I wont be spending any more money at home within the city limits either. We can play this game for as long as they want. I still havent bought any Exxon products since I cut up my credit card after the Exxon Valdez spill 20 years ago.
I wanted to celebrate Cinco De Mayo by going to see Los Suns play
los ball de basket-o in Los Phoenix,
Since the owner is throwing the gates open to anyone who wants in. But I live in Iowa.
Oops, Los Iowa, I mean.
South African born, Canadian citizen, NBA millionaire Steve Nash and his millionaire teammates will be opening the grounds of their palacial estates to any immigrant (with or with out ‘pay-perrrrrrrs’) who would like to park a trailer or pitch a tent – so their ‘civil rights’ aren’t violated.
I don’t think there are any Mexican NBA owners,
though there is one Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks.
Does he count, or is the NBA ownership a group of racists?
I read that the San Antonio Spurs are going to join Los Suns
and put Los Spurs on their jerseys for the game.
Racial pandering is a game forLos Ers!

Very funny, but cleaning Diet Coke spittle from my computer is another job Americans don’t want.
I tried to sneak in without paying to root for the Spurs and got asked for a ticket. Racists.
Los Soles have shut down their switchboard. Why would that be?

You might think the NBA would find pandering to drug smugglers and human traffickers south of the Arizona border “disappointing and disturbing”, but no. The NBA is happy to give Arizona and the rest of us the middle finger.
Excellent…
I thought they could offer Anyone with a Matricular Card a Free seat, Free Beer and tell them Cheech and Chong were the Half Time Entertainment… THAT would have put them in the Good Graces of LaRaza and Mecha.
So flipping through the channels this morning on my way past The View and lo and behold, Whooppi is wearing a Los Suns jersey.
If the Suns think the negative impact is going to fade after one game or if they win a game or two they are sorely mistaken.
Not surprising. After all, they don’t call it The Peoples Republic of Boulder for nothin’.
As predicted, its getting worse. And is so by the left.

When these overpaid children can tell me, specifically, what is “misguided” about this law, they will be worthy of being listened to.
Otherwise, shut up and play your silly game!
Think of it this way. If 60% of Americans are for the Arizona law, and 40% are against it and want to boycott the state; there will not be the huge crowds at the Grand Canyon. Hey, 60-precenters, pack you bags and have a Grand Canyon time.
Yup, this might be a good summer for a Grand Canyon trip. Good call M1D.
Be it known that Mr. Sarver “gave up” his center court seats and sat at the Team end–donated to an illegal perhaps??? The beginning of the game the crowd was very subdued and there were many empty seats in the tele-camera line of sight. By the end of the first period those seats were filled so I guess there were a lot of nose bleed seaters that were moved down below to fill the seats because the shouting increased significantly when all the seats were filled!! Who wouldn’t be thrilled paying $15. for a seat and then getting moved to the $500. seats??? Did it effect the game–not in the end but in the beginning “Los Suns” were not in sync—internal strife maybe, hhmmmmmm??
Or maybe the fact that their servers and phones crashed from reaction from “los fans”……
