As a demonstration of solidarity with the Latin American community in Arizona, the Phoenix Suns will become 'LOS PHOENIX SUNS' in their Game 2 playoff tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. Suns owner Robert Sarver ordered the new threads this week and is using them to make a political statement in defiance of a new state law signed last week by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer which specifically targets Latin American labourers in the state. The new law "makes it a misdemeanor for immigrants to be in Arizona without proper documents and allows police officers to request proof of status if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally." It was designed by politicians to help curb the stream of illegal Latino immigrants into the state. University applicants have also been boycotting Arizona Colleges in protest of the prejudicial law. Good for Sarver and LOS SUNS, I hope they keep these uniforms on and stick it to Brewer and the state with a lengthy playoff run.
