Los Suns

The Phoenix Suns are expressing their solidarity with Arizona's Latino community and protesting the state's new anti-immigrant law by wearing "Los Suns" jerseys for Cinco de Mayo.  They'll be wearing them for tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs.  This is what Steve Nash said about it:

"I think it's fantastic," Nash said after Tuesday's practice. "I think the law is very misguided. I think it's, unfortunately, to the detriment of our society and our civil liberties. I think it's very important for us to stand up for things we believe in. As a team and as an organization, we have a lot of love and support for all of our fans. The league is very multicultural. We have players from all over the world, and our Latino community here is very strong and important to us."
