What an ASS...Cinco de Mayo is fine.
.. But now he crossed the line [ SB 1070]... hope my suns get blown out wed.... Keep politics out of sports :hump:
Robert Sarver went to work with his basketball team. He put on a Suns' T-shirt and black silk shorts. And as players mingled with the media on the main floor of the Rose Garden, Sarver began sprinting up the steps of the arena, one section at a time.
Some reporters were stunned. Was he that desperate for a workout? Or was he that desperate for attention?
Like it or not, the Suns owner has caused a huge stir this time around. His team will wear orange "Los Suns" jerseys Wednesday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs, a maneuver designed to celebrate the NBA's diversity and illustrate his displeasure with Arizona's new immigration law.
"It's two-fold," Suns General Manager Steve Kerr said. "One, it is Cinco de Mayo.
And, two, it is a political statement. We felt the law, however well intended, was not right."
Sarver is a banker by trade, and his stance is as much about money as it is about civil rights. As a businessman, he does not want to see economic boycotts, cancelled conventions and big events removed from our region. That lowers the tide for everyone in Arizona, at a time when his basketball team is struggling to sell tickets for playoff games
