American and Latin American Politics, Society, and Culture

The pendejos pushing Los Suns t-shirts

Because all we need is more politics:

Allahpundit:
Phoenix Suns to protest Arizona immigration law by wearing “Los Suns” jerseys tonight

It’s funny. Just this morning, while I was making my way through Eugene Robinson’s ode to the current state of border security, I had ESPN on and started thinking, “Why can’t sports be as tediously, tendentiously politicized as everything else in American life now is?”

Sometimes, my friends, dreams do come true.

The Phoenix Suns will wear “Los Suns” on their jerseys Wednesday for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, owner Robert Sarver said, “to honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league, the state of Arizona and our nation.”…

He said that the law calls into question “our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law” and will cause Arizona’s economy to suffer setbacks at a time when the state is already in economic distress.

First, shouldn’t “Los Suns” be “Los Sols”?

Actually, no. It should be Los Soles.

I wonder if Al Sharpton will be wearing a Los Suns t-shirt for his vigil.

While the fools at the Suns are pushing for support of “the Latin community“

“It’s going to be great to wear Los Suns to let the Latin community know we’re behind them 100%,”

(ah, the benefits of a classical education; I’m sure Classics departments across the USA are emboldened by the Suns’ support), the governor of Arizona received an envelope with white powder yesterday.

    Oh, c’mon, Fausta. I was raised and lived in (58-73) the current stand-in for the Third Reich but some of your devotees don’t know exactly what’s meant by pendejo and I think it only fair that you spread a little multi-culti awareness just so if any of your readers go there they will know what they are being called.

    Funny. I remember well when Arizona declined to make Martin King day a paid state holiday because a lot of residents felt another paid holiday was excessive and if they had to have one how about an Indian since there were a lot more of them than blacks and the whole Jim Crow voting rights thing didn’t apply. I think it was the NFL that spanked them that time.

    AZ seems to keep getting attention from the professional grievance-brokers.

    Funny, because when I lived there it was like we didn’t exist (except for 1964). On TV you’d hear a promo for a new show:

    Don’t miss the first episode of Laugh-In, the hilarious new show, at ten, Eastern, nine, Central, and seven on the West Coast. (Mountain, anyone?)

    > Actually, no. It should be Los Soles.

    Ah, I see the misconception here.

    The “Los Suns” isn’t supposed to refer to “The Sun”

    It’s a contraction for “Los Sunsabitches”

    Makes a lot more sense, now, right?

    Lot of class, Fausta, using term like pendejo–very mature, huh?

    Los Suns—integration of English and Spanish–hard concept for some to follow. Check out the “Los” jerseys of some of the other NBA teams.

    Yeah, would be nice to keep sports and politics separate–but sometimes you just have to stand up for what’s right–and SB1070 ain’t right! Pendejos would be those with their heads in the Phx sand, ignoring the ramifications of this bill, and people, yes, Fausto, EVEN sports figures, not speaking up against it!
