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…

» Barack Obama: Can we call him a Socialist now?
Athletes need stay out of politics. These multi-millionares thumbing their collective noses at us folks in AZ is not going to be free. Why a business positions itself to piss off over 70% of the people in the state is at least consistent with the ignorance on display.
Folks are reacting to the reporting of the law, not the law itself.
Coach Gentry says he doesn’t know enough to comment on the law BUT its okay they wear the jerseys? Huh?
But, but, but it’s the One’s favorite game.
There may be a deserved backlash against the Suns and other organizations taking mis-guided stances against lawful actions.
He’s in bed with the Obama machine..of course he’s going to use his organization to push Obama’s agenda and vilify those who oppose it..move along, nothing to see here.
If you didn’t know Al Sharpton race hustler extraordinare is here tonight doing a “march”.
The Suns, and the NBA, are dead to me.
I have now purged their stupid league from my life experience.
Next.
I’m wondering….. if they sympathize and capitulate to this now, what about when Muslim sharia comes knocking? Will they submit or fight?
I say the Suns need to move to a state that they are comfortable representing and then Arizona can look for team who we can be proud of as well.
It is interesting to see what these over priced cry babies actually think of the folks who have been providing the money to pay for gated communities and private security and fancy cars.
Let Nash go back to Canada. The owner can move back too. Go Spurs!
It is going to get worse however. The totally false reporting by the media about this law is having consequences. People are getting cranked up based on the reporting. It is not going to be pretty when the left thinks there is some social injustice being forced on a minority by white people. This has only just begun.
When sports teams have a balance of Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, Native Americans, and a black, then I’ll pay attention to their them. Until then, they’re as racist as any Klan meeting with a LACK of diversity of sports teams.
I’m waiting for someone from the Suns to say that the media has misrepresented their position on the jerseys. That’s going to be a real hoot!
Sort of related, speaking of illegals…
Houston area girl earns Darwin Award while training to be a “coyote”.
Just how many illegal immigrants does Major League baseball employ?
Legal immigrant and naturalized American tells off idiots of Tucson City Council opposed to Arizona bill.
That’s what I like. Gabriella Salcedo isn’t a Mexican-American. She is an American. Period.
So this displays the kind of thinking that went into the decision to wear the jerseys. No wonder they decided to wear the jerseys.
__________________________________
But Kerr said “this isn’t a huge political stand as much as it is just a celebration of diversity.”
Suns coach Alvin Gentry didn’t want to comment on Arizona’s immigration bill and said he was focused on showing appreciation for the Latino community and Arizona’s diversity.
“I’m not trying to duck it,” Gentry said. “I don’t know enough about it to really comment on it. I would think that if it had anything to do with racial profiling, then obviously as an African-American I would not be for anything that had any hint of racial profiling.”
“I think it’s fantastic,” Nash said after Tuesday’s practice. “I think the law is very misguided. I think it’s, unfortunately, to the detriment of our society and our civil liberties. I think it’s very important for us to stand up for things we believe in. As a team and as an organization, we have a lot of love and support for all of our fans. The league is very multicultural. We have players from all over the world, and our Latino community here is very strong and important to us.”
I have been a die-hard baseball fan my entire life. If MLB is going to go political, I am through with MLB… Red Sox and all. I bought a D-Back hat last Saturday. It is already in the trash.
I suggest Sonora.
Didn’t take long for the union thugs to get involved did it.
Fascist FDR used the union thugs in the same role, mostly intimidation.
Nice shirt. The most effective argument to get them to shut up about it is the one you pose about Mexico’s illegal alien policy.
Keep rebutting hysterical outbursts with facts about Mexican immigration laws. . . and how they enforce them.
If we don’t have borders, we don’t have a country. I love how all these people call you racist if you say that SOME Hispanics are committing violent crimes. . . yet those same people can’t understand how it is RACIST TO SAY THAT ALL HISPANIC IMMIGRANTS ARE PEACEFUL!
If you say all Mexican immigrants are peaceful and law abiding, you are racist.
Oh, I see, it’s to appreciate diversity. Where then are the Korean jerseys. Does Arizona not appreciate the East Asian “community”?
AZ – deep six this team. Why give them your dollars when they show no loyalty to you? Dry up those bucks and they’ll find a new victim to mooch off. Cockroaches!
Ah, the NBA, that shining example of
crybabies and criminalsrole models of good character for young people to emulate. No thank you. Adiós, perdedors.The Suns may regret this move. The backlash may be enough to give them a reality check. It’s disgusting that pro athletes, actors, etc think that they have a right to preach to us about politics, ethics and morals.
I don’t begrudge them their earnings but they need to realize from whence their riches come. It’s not from the illegals who suck from the public teat.
Happy Cinco de Cuatro!
Because, as we all know, based on the overwhelming number of latino NBA players, basketball in the latino community’s favorite sport.
drivingjack#9,
I heard on our local TX radio show that the spurs wanted to wear los spurs to support the illegals, but they did not have those shirts with them. I guess the spurs are just as bad as the AZ team.
L
“basketball in the latino community’s favorite sport.”
That is a point I made early on. He just slapped the folks who butter his bread in the face. The NBA games are primarily white folks watching black folks play basketball. Sorry but that is what it is.
So let’s slap the white folks? This is good for business?
The way the left shoots themselves in the feet is just amazing.
And just what part of the working community is impacted the most negatively by professional sports pulling crap like this, or the threat to pull the MLB Allstar game? Why the working group of folks well populated by hispanics and minorities in general, the service industry.
So lets act in a way that harms minorities!
The thinking and mindset and lack of intelligence on display would be astounding if we didn’t know who we are dealing with.
The Arizona law doesn’t allow the police to stop people just on skin color.
If illegals scrupulously follow traffic laws, don’t beat their wives, don’t kill people, don’t get drunk and disorderly, they are completely ok.
BTW, that generally applies to people of any color and immigration status.
“los spurs”
They’d have to make them. The Suns have these jerseys and have worn them this year already. The jerseys are not the problem. Who cares about “Los Suns”? No one. We in the southwest acknowledge the hispanic and latin influences of our culture easily and proudly. It is in part why some of us live here. We enjoy our culture. We are not bigots and racist.
Its the TIMING! Its the political statement. Not the jerseys…..
Diversity? Look at the stands. At the minimum, 88% of the stands at the arena Los Suns play in are filled with WHITE people watching a team of mostly Black people. If the Mexican community boycotted Los Suns, the revenue lost would be practically ZERO. On the other hand, if we non-Mexicans boycotted Los Suns, the loss would be significant.
At least Major League Baseball actually has several Mexicans playing on Major league teams.

Good catch. Yesterday or Monday we got a small blurb about a senior from Kempner High School being found dead in Mexico, beaten to death along with two others. No other details in the Chronicle because their story was a link from a small Ft. Bend County newspaper. So last night during the news they mention the girl, high school, grief counselors, everybody is shocked, friends crying…and in the last 10 seconds “her mother was aware she was going to Nuevo Laredo and she has worked as a topless dancer” and pffft!!
Today, we get a big write up that explains nothing.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6989743.html
Talk about not getting the story.
Will you keep applauding when those seats filled by the producers of the Country turn up empty? You just pissed off your revenue base, you poinyoin!
the East Asian “community”
And we do have a very large and quite active Asian community in case anyone didn’t know.
Yes, but what’s your point? Who needs a revenue base when you have Obama? Ask GM.
About half the rotating ads on the scorer’s table at The Toyota Center, where the not very good Houston Rockets play, are in Chinese.
I suppose even with Yao Ming injured, the team is still popular with Chinese fans in the US and back in China.
For good basketball, college is more enjoyable to watch. Ditto NCAA vs NFL football.
I say “Foul”!
That sports teams should not be political seems a slam dunk to me.
I think they dropped the ball on this one.
Good point Misscheryl #36….
My thoughts exactly. I would love so see those fans that are part of the 70% that approve of this law, stay home tonight. And keep your tickets. What do you think the NBA and the Suns would think about broadcasting a playoff game with an arena virtually empty?
Let them wear the “los Suns” jerseys.
Maybe San Antonio Can wear jerseys that say “La Migra”, or perhaps some 5’10″ middle aged white guy with no basketball talent can put on a jersey and sit on the bench as an “undocumented player.”
They have worn those before during some promotion night. Oh, the irony.
So what are the Midwest alternatives?
Uff Da – Vikings
Die Packers
Los Suns is racist. To be politically correct, shouldn’t it be Los Sol?
Just saying.
Ok, I’ll do it…
Why didn’t they use Los Sols?
eep. Sorry Southpaw
If people in AZ don’t boycott the Suns, it’s their own damn fault.
A group of friends and I have tickets to the Suns game tonight … we are not going … instead we will stay home and watch the D’Backs and the Astros on TV …
I can only hope we are not the only ones that stay away tonight … I know there are those that could care less and will go to the game regardless … but I would at least like to hear that there were so many empty seats the TV networks couldn’t ignore reporting it … (obviously I won’t be watching any of the game on TV either) …
What would be cool would be for those at the game to stand and turn their backs on the Suns during introductions …
it would be even better if they all were wearing T-Shirts that said …
What part of “illegal” don’t you understand?
Now seeing it in writing–it looks a little like ‘Lost Souls’. Hmm. How fitting.
I believe that’s already a phrase commonly used on posters held up at Viking home games against the Packers.
Dare I bring up the double standard in the sports industry e.g. Rams/Rush Limbaugh?
Go to the game & scream Illegal Defense. Better yet, Matador Defense is more like Los Sols.
Boycott any and all entities that advocate for the usurpation of our Constitution!!! Hit them in their wallets. That ought to fix their little red wagon!!!
I think the plural would be Los Soles, actually.
I’ve liked the Spurs ever since David Robinson, Naval Academy grad, played for them.
Los Suns-or Los Soles- are quite important to our economy and bring jobs:
labor arbitrators
criminal defense attorneys
civil defense attorneys
drug dealers
drug counselors
family abuse counselors
persons to provide for illegitimate children
probation officers
Oh well I haven’t been to a Los Soles game in years so I will survive. Watching them on TV is now a thing of the past.
For you Arizona people living in the Salt River Project Service Area:

Reminiscent of the old “German Flasher Joke”
Anyone for a “Los NBA Boycotters” basketball jersey?
I quit on MLB when they quit on me and let the players use steroids those ruining the cherished HR records. So quitting on the NBA is not difficult. Let Nash spend his millions at our expense in Canada. These these anti-US Citizen overpaid, underperforming dolts play before illegal aliens and libtards. I won’t be watching.
Yes it is.
Salga (go away) would work too

– A little cleanup
Hmmmmm – I wonder how many MLB players came into this country illegally.
If the NBA really wanted to show support for the illegals, they would bring back the peach basket, so that they could all take turns picking the ball out!
Not worth spending money on. I haven’t wasted time or money on the NBA in over a decade.
Probably none. If any MLB import ever really wanted to become a citizen, he’d probably get priority with assistance from the teams local ever-so-happy-for-the-publicity congresscritter.
The only sports i have ever participated in or watched were amateur sports. I left watching professional sports long ago just from their ‘performance enhancing’ drug abuse, and their practice of crony capitalism.
It’s time to wise up to them.
For the first time I wish I was a fan of thugball, so I could boycott.
Never was a fan, so they lose nothing from me, too bad.
I have never understood why so many state and local governments subsidize wealthy owners of sports franchises. I used to love sports but with stunts like this I can barely watch professional sports any longer.
Why in the world are cities paying for stadiums and arenas for wealthy people? This is simply corporate welfare and it needs to stop.
Maybe some of the folks in Phoenix will take this opportunity to point this out to the lunatics who keep throwing money at open-border pandering jerks like Robert Sarver…
I think terms such as “no borders” or “anti-borders” would be more correct.
I’m not sure that the US was ever a “closed border” nation, at least for any length of time; there have always been legal crossing points.
But what these doofus b-ball players and others like them, e.g. the McCain-Kennedy gang, Dems, WSJournal elite, etc want is a borderless US – if not a borderless continent.
To my ears, “open borders” is too innocent a term to describe their goals.
I invite those of you who are disgusted with the NBA to join me as hockey fans. Hockey is more of a man’s game anyway. You run your mouth, you lose a few teeth.
You are particularly welcome to become Penguins fans.
Happy Drinko de Mayo! (Stay off the roads today.)
My wife watched this news story on TV last night (we get our satellite out of Phx courtesy of a Mesa, AZ address) and just shook her head. She said, “Well, I’m never watching another Suns game again.”
Hasta la vista, crybabies!
“Los Suns” is Spanish for “Lost Fans”.
Just sent to SRP.
If Steve Nash wants to support open borders that is his business. He has every right to express his opinion. However as a spokesman for SRP I am offended as an AZ resident by his representing SRP and NOT representing the best interest regarding the public safety of AZ residents.
The violence and danger to AZ is very real when it comes to illegal immigration. His lack of understanding regarding the very real dangers we face as Arizona’s disqualifies him in my opinion to be a spokesman for anything Arizonan.
The AZ State Superintendant of Schools is ticked off because there’s a school district on the border bussing in approximately 100 students from Mexico on a daily basis! He had the local police videotape the two busses they use while they stopped at an abandoned gas station next to the border, in the early morning darkness. The kids walk across at the border point, and gather behind the station. When the busses arrive, they all climb on board and head to school.
The District Superintendant said “Oh no, we’ve confirmed all of their addresses as being valid US addresses.” but his story doesn’t wash. You can expect to hear more about this in the coming days, unless the MSM sweeps it under the rug. The state wants that distric to repay approximately 1.2 million dollars because of this.
BTW-AZ will accept Mexican students, but they’re required by law to PAY for their education and bussing.
I told my wife the State Super needs to start first with interviews of the bus drivers; “Is that you driving the bus? Did you fill out and falsify rout reports stating you picked up these kids at their houses? If yes, collect your final check at the door as you turn in your keys and leave.” If anyone else in a state-run position falsifies anything at all, they get canned. Start working your way up the chain all the way to the District Super. Fire them all if they’re willing to lie and defraud the taxpayers!
Go Sooners!

If they really want to make a statement and support illegal immigration why don’t they simply boycott the game and forfeit it??
Same here. NBA is no better than the WWE. Like my dad always used to say about the NBA. “They should just start the game with 2 minutes left and the score tied”.
I’m thinking claymores within the first 15′ all along our border…but that’s just me.
What’s new, the criminals of the NBA siding with the criminals of Mexico. The old joke of 12 black criminals and a white guy being an NBA team has never been more true. Now the owner of these pampered millionaire slugs is a crook himself.
OT
Obama biggest recipient of BP’s campaign cash, and the Obama Regime exempted BP from performing a study on environmental impacts of an oil spill caused by their drilling in the Gulf.
It pays to pay the right people off, obviously…
So that means we can sneak in without paying and cheer for the other team right? No? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACISTS!!!

Cinco De Mayo: when the Mexican nationalists beat the French. Everybody beats the French but the French are the only people Mexico ever beat.
Cinco de Mayo isn’t Independence Day, which is the 16 de Septiembre.
Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla. Against the French.
They’d borrowed a lot of money from the French, couldn’t/wouldn’t pay it back, and then the French lost a battle, as they have done with almost every nation on Earth.
But it is an excuse to drink margaritas, for those needing an excuse.

Not really well supported, those Los Suns…
We ought to just jump the turnstiles at NBA and MLB games and grab the best seats to demonstrate an important point to these pinheads.
What makes them think that the effect to America’s economy isn’t the same as jumping the turnstiles would be to their own bottom line?
The Mexicans beat themselves in their various civil wars and revolutions.
In the 1920s, the winners of the revolution, who held power for eight decades, until the split between the true believer Marxists and the Chicago style corruptocrats, (PRD and PRI) outlawed the Catholic church, were the first nation to have a Soviet embassy, executed a lot of Catholic priests who continued to practice, and eventually nationalized the oil industry, which is why Mexico’s oil production, despite rich reserves, drop steeply every year.
I think the team jersey is missing a “T”. Typical of a group who get a pass through high school and college and never learn to spell.
I suggest that we change our laws to give the same penalties for illegal entry into the USA that Mexico uses …
1st offense … 2 years in prison … followed by deportation …
2nd offense … 10 years in prison … followed by deportation …
Unless it happens on the southern border with Guatemala … that tends to get you killed the first time .. so there is not a second offense …
I am sure that Sheriff Joe would gladly buy several hundred more military GP tents for the additional jail space that would be required …
Actually, everyone in Phoenix should show up at the game and… DEMAND TO BE LET IN WITHOUT A TICKET!
Oh, yeah, and they should demand free food, souvenirs, a ride home too and a monthly cash stipend…
If it is good enough for our borders then why shouldn’t it be good enough for a stupid NBA team?
Let’s see now “open-boders” these hypocritical morons at the Suns really are…
In the spirit of PC consistency, I suggest that they kick out ALL attendees rather than just the turnstile jumpers. Why should the jumpers’ civil rights be violated just because they didn’t pay for their tickets? Racial profiling if you ask me!
Steve Nash is spokesman for APS, not SRP. My bad and my apologies.
https://www.aps.com/general_info/contactus/default.html
Los Suns are free to play for Mexico. Since we are such a rasist, nasty country, why do all these illegals want to stay here? First they break the law, then whine and complain that they can’t get enough goodies as a result of being here. Then our elected officials prefer to pander to the illegals at the expense of the American public and legal residents. The insanity needs to stop.
Give your tickets to the illegals and tell ‘em “Los” Suns(of b*tches) are sponsoring a free all-you-can eat/drink Taco & Corona night for all illegals who come to the game sans I.D., then watch the fun from the safety of your living room.
Good idea! Sheriff Joe will have em all in one place for a quick round up.
Judging from a link on another thread, he only likes one on one.

Garret Lewis at KNST Tucson, has a great idea. Tonight, for game 2, lets all go to US Airways Center, get in line and when we get to the gate…tell the ticket taker..we don’t have a ticket. But, we are human so we have the right to be there.
opps, gmta wareagle!!
I still like the idea of giving them all free bus tickets to San Diego, or any ‘sanctuary’ city of their choice (out of state).
