IMMIGRATION — PHOENIX SUNS WILL WEAR ‘LOS SUNS’ JERSEYS IN PART TO PROTEST ‘FLAWED’ IMMIGRATION LAW: The Phoenix Suns basketball franchise announced that players will be wearing “Los Suns” jerseys tonight for Game 2 of its playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs. The game, which coincides with Cinco de Mayo, will be played in Phoenix. Team owner and registered Republican Robert Sarver said the jerseys will “honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league, the state of Arizona and our nation.” Sarver also made it clear that the selection of the Spanish-language jersey is a political statement against Arizona’s new anti-immigrant law. “However intended, the result of passing this law is that our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law are being called into question,” Sarver said. He added that while he understood the “frustration with the federal government’s failure to deal with the issue of illegal immigration,” the state’s law is “flawed.” The team’s star point guard Steve Nash said separately, “I think the law is very misguided. I think it is unfortunately to the detriment to our society and our civil liberties.” “I think the law obviously can target opportunities for racial profiling,” Nash added. The Center for American Progress Action Fund’s Matthew Yglesias noted that the Nash, along with the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, are all immigrants. “In general, it says good things about the National Basketball Association that foreigners with top-notch basketball skills generally want to come here and play. And the flow of foreign talent to our shores makes the NBA a better product — indeed, an iconic global brand that’s marketed internationally as a U.S. export,” Yglesias wrote. Meanwhile, the Major League Baseball Players Association has also called for repealing the law and a number of Latino baseball players have spoken out against it as well.
