Here’s the thing though, do Los Suns have the right to be idiots, and do we as the folks that pay for the price of a ticket to a game, or watch the games on a TV have a right to vote with our dollars and not watch or go to their games?

While I understand the angst in some quarters about the silly jersey issue and the mindless statement by the Los Suns ownership, I tend to put statements made by these folks in about the same basket that statements made by David Letterman, Lindsey Lohan and Megan McCain, the who cares basket.

You don’t like what Los Suns has done or said, don’t go their games, don’t watch them in the playoffs, whatever, but they do have the right to beclown themselves as long as they are a private business. Besides Steve Nash, isn’t he Canadian?…:)

to everyone who supports the immigration bill. Couple that with the students who were sent home on Cinco de Mayo for wearing American flag T-Shirts and you have to ask, “whose country is this?”

I can’t believe that the Suns require you to show your papers in order to pick up tickets:

The US Airways Center requires that customers picking up WILL CALL tickets furnish the following:
1) PICTURE IDENTIFICATION THAT MATCHES THE PICK-UP NAME
2) CONFIRMATION NUMBER THAT MATCHES THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT

Isn’t this unreasonable? They also have a policy that you can’t bring in concessions to the arena. That is hardly fair. Apparently they also control access to the locker rooms. Isn’t all of this discriminatory? Shouldn’t all people be free to roam in and out US Airways Center during Suns games without being persecuted? I can’t believe that Steve Nash and the Suns management tolerates such bigoted actions.

Typical liberal double standard. It is okay for the Suns to protect their assets and their sovereignty while trying to run a business and make a profit, but shame on the rest of you for trying to protect a country and the citizenry from people entering illegally and placing a burden on legal residents. I am just so fed up with this stuff. The Houston Chronicle covers 25 people protesting the Arizona Diamondbacks in town to play the Astros, but can’t seem to cover the thousands that attend Tea Parties locally. This has got to end!

Keith Olbermann (lefty extrordinaire) is permitted blogging status on Major League Baseball’s website. The Phoenix Suns make a political statement with uniforms
and its cheered by the NBA

However,

When Rush sought to buy into the Rams he was shredded by the media, the players union, and fans. What that says is if the message is from the left its ok.

I wrote a diary Wednesday entitaled Sports+Politics = Oil+Water , and get that former players may want to jump into the political arena. But it doesn’t seem fair that individual players cannot have political messages on uniforms, like vote for tammi or yes to steroids , wnereas teams and leagues can openly work to sway opinion.

therefore no difference between citizenship and illegal entry. Sarver has a loose idea of what constitutes principle and how it translates into law.
How do you honor your country, as this wealthy sap puts it, by speaking in a foreign language on an issue of illegality ?
How do you honor your country by ignoring it’s borders and what immigration, the legal kind, has meant to America.

Hollywood, most media outlets and now major sports teams are and have been attacking traditional values for a long time, but it has really reached a fever pitch. What will be the consequence?

I think that is part of the reason the tea parties were successful. Before anyone says that MSM is losing viewers, they still hold a tremendous amount of power over the narrative. Fox News is not enough. How long will we have the internet? Talk radio is great for some, but many that might be sympathetic to the conservative cause can easily be turned off by its reputation and it’s in your face approach.

This is another reason why local elections are just as important as state/national ones to start shaping the narrative.

Would it be appropriate to start a thread on this subject. I believe our representatives who read this site would greatly benefit if given some advise from people who actually hire hispanic employees on the issue of immigration reform.

but it was reported that at least one person was ejected from the stadium the other night for wearing a “Viiva SB 1070″ t-shirt.
