Los Suns

The Phoenix Suns are doing something very rare to proffesional athletic organizations. In protest to new anti-immigration legislation in the great state of of Arizona, Robert Sarver and the Suns organization are wearing their 'Los Suns' jerseys in honour of the large latino population within the state.

The game is being played tonight and is taking place at the same time as a large rally lead by the Rev. Al Sharpton.

This type of bravery is very rare for a sports organizations. In an industry dominated by dollars, women, and machismo; the Suns are setting an example for the rest of the sports world to take notice.

As athletes and millionaires, these people have the capability to be leaders in their communities. Unfortunatly, this is an ideal situation and is often replaced with law, gambling, and bank problems that many of these athletes face.

By honoring the latino community of Arizona, the Phoenix Suns are rising above this stereotype and providing an example that others should surely follow.

Anti-immigration laws based on prejudice and stereotype are baseless and borderline racist. Kudos to the Suns for taking notice.
