The Suns stance was lauded by the NBA Players Association, which "strongly supports the repeal or immediate modification of this legislation," according to Billy Hunter, the NBAPA executive director.

"Any attempt to encourage, tolerate or legalize racial profiling is offensive and incompatible with basic notions of fairness and equal protection. A law that unfairly targets one group is ultimately a threat to all."

I am writing you to let you know how disappointed I am with the NBA. Your decision to mix basketball and politics is something I thought would not happen.

Witht he Phoenix Suns now wearing Los Suns shirts, and the NBA players association making false statements against Arizonas legal right to run their state, is nothing less than short sighted.


I would ask you, is every player against the Arizona law ?

or, are they ahving to go along with the flow and wear support jerseys ?

While I understand the NBA has a right to do as it sees fit, I also have the right to do as I see fit.

Until this short sighted protest by the NBA ends, we will no longer be attending basketball games, we will no longer buy any support equiptment or jerseys, and I will make it a personal point to not buy products that are endorsed by NBA players.

I would also caution you, do you have any idea of the lost revenue, as more and more legal Americans learn of your stance ?

One thing that people forget, witht eh internet, it is very easy to reach thousands of people in just a few hours. Unfotunately, it is time for us to call for a boycott of the NBA.

While I am a realist, those that bought playoff tickets or season tickets already, will attend games, you will have a new season starting shortly.

I hope your decision works out for you.

Sincerly
