"Los Suns" To Make Political Statement

The ownership, management and players of the Phoenix Suns have agreed to come out against Arizona's hateful "Show Me Your Papers" law by donning "Los Suns" jerseys in their playoff game tonight.  A perfect way to commemorate Cinco de Mayo.

"I think the law obviously can target opportunities for racial profiling. Things we don't want to see and don't need to see in 2010."

Sports teams rarely get political (unless they need a new stadium built), so this is a pretty big deal.  And I think I now have a favorite NBA team.
