Pytanie #1:

Polo wraps for trailering?

I am moving Phoenix to a new barn next Tuesday, and I was told by one person not to bother with shipping boots or wrapping his legs and another person said I should use either polo wraps or sport boots on hm. It is only about a half an hour away but we do have to take the high way for about 5 or 6 exits. I was thinking just to save time and give myself peace of mind i would put his smb II boots on the front and wrap his back legs. What do you think? Should I wrap all four, do the boots & wrap the back, or not wrap at all?
I dont have any pillow wraps, out of curiosity what difference do they make?

and these are the boots that I have:

Pytanie #3:

is my story good? edited part 2?

house, as Johnson wanted to uphold his new-metro-Semitic-southeastern-catholic-of the lord our lady bishop-catholic church. Johnson had a small name change after confusion with other churches.
In the later years of his life jonni had come to the realization (inspired by a TV commercial) that he will never amount to anything in life without a degree, so he enrolled in the university of phoenix, the original one located in northern Massachusetts. It was there he met his second wife, Jo-Ann, a 57 year old obese woman of which he married and had approxamently 32 children, unfortunately all of their children were born with horribly birth defects, for reasons they did not know. They decided to visit a doctor to see if he could figure out the reason all their 32 children were retarded. After a few blood tests the doctor discovered that Jo-Ann was in fact jonni’s grandmother, making jonni his own grandfather.

It wasn’t until 6 years later when Jo-Ann was on her death bed that they decided to get a divorce. Jonni was now 33 years old and felt completely fulfilled in life thanks to his education from the university of phoenix. It was then when he made another whore house featuring the main whore Linda star, who only accepted a currency that she invented where 1 buck equaled 30 American dollars therefore the whore house was named “star bucks”. It wasn’t until a few years later when customers started asking for coffee during sessions did jonni start to officially sell coffee over the next few months coffee sales were so high that jonni fired Linda star…’s mutilated body from a cannon into the pacific ocean.

Jonni, the young entroupenour, decided to expand his portfolio of retarded children by moving to Hawaii and fucking a black woman. He then opened dairy queen, a whore house where gay men are forced into being straight, by having sex with fat white girls. And also started oxygen, the TV channel originally aimed towards whores. Jonni, being 45 and going thru a mid life crises, decided to no… not purchase an expensive sports car, but commit horrible crimes. Like rape. Why rape, because no one can hear you scream in space, yes space. That motherfucker owned a rocket. He was the first American to get rocket head, and the first human to get it from the opposite sex. The Russians did it with monkeys and shit first, fucking weirdoes. Anyway, when arriving on the moon at his private real estate, he fucked bitches, got money, but most importantly found out that he had not only given birth to 2pac but also the notorious B.I.G. their mother was flown from Hawaii to SPACE where they were born on his space ranch.

When he got back to Akron, he started chex cereal, and promptly raped every little boy on the cover of his cereal box. He later went to gay child molesting therapy (where Michael Jackson is now, he’s not really dead FYI). Anyway, in 2002, jonni invented MySpace. Its original slogan was slutty bitches and shitty bands. But he sold MySpace to another owner to make way for facebook. In 2004, that shit went down. But it wasn’t profitable, so he invented twitter, with its original slogan, nobody gives a shit, that was actually the name of the site but the twitter bird didn’t fare well next to that name.
Oh ya, I almost forgot he originally wrote Anne frank’s diary, it was a work of fiction but nobody seems to understand. In 2008 one of his dumb nigro children was elected president, and shit jonni even bought out Gatorade, and Uncle Ben’s rice. He merged the two companies into one. Uncle bens Cajunaid. The stock dropped 89% leaving jonni broke and miserable.

But then in 2009 he had major plastic surgery and turned into pop sensation Justin Beiber. Every night he unzips his Justin Beiber costume and turns into kanye west to go out and party and do white chicks. No one had any idea until the mtv music awards where jonni got up on stage as kanye to tell the world that Taylor swift didn’t deserve the award she had one because the person who did deserve the award was Beyonce who jonni also was. In 2010 jonni hired a small Mexican to continue the role of Justin Bieber. Basically jonni pulled the iphone 4 out of his asshole. He only intended on using the iphone to pleasure his wife, but apparently, Steve jobs caught wind and payed him 50000000 –that much money for the design and software. Hmmm must have been all the children he raped. Anyway bored with pulling things out of his asshole, he decided to travel back in time and create BP then fuck it up as revenge to the British. Mostly for the Monty python TV show because it’s really not that funny.

Pytanie #4:

Is Shaq better at alienating people (making enemies) than he is playing basketball?

Shaq, a 15x all-star and 4-time world champion, is considered one of the greatest Centers of all time. His b-ball skills is undeniable.

Having said that, however, this guy is arguably the most pretentious, arrogant, overly-sensitve, egostistical man in professional sports history.

Lets check his rap sheet:

-After his departure from the Orlando Magic was partly due to the fact that he thought Penny Hardaway, who was a young star at the time, was stealing his thunder and taking his spotlight.

-During his successful tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, he made enemies with Kobe Bryant, which is very highly publicized. He also slandered Phil Jackson, his former coach, and Jerry Bus, former owner.

-In Miami, after Stan Van Gundy was let go by the Heat, Shaq called him the "Master of Panic".

-In his brief stint with the Phoenix Suns, he made enemies with Amar'e Stoudemire.

-And now, Shaq is in the middle of a childish verbal sh*t talking with Jim Rome via Twitter.

**I may have forgotten more incidents, so if you remember any, don't hesitate to post 'em.


What are your thoughts?
If you agree with me, feel free to Star.
Not even Mike Tyson, a guy who made a living beating guys up, made as much enemies as Shaq in his sport.

Bottom line: Shaq's not a team player; he's better off playing an individual sport where no one will "steal his thunder".

Pytanie #6:

I have a chance to work as a firefighter in Phx, AZ or live in Brazil and not have to work. what should I do?

I speak Brazilian Portuguese, and have been to Brazil several times for my sport. I have a steady flow of income that would be like living off of $75,000/year in the US. My health care would be taken care of living there, as well.
Recently, I was offered a job in a paid fire academy in Phoenix, Arizona.
Is it wrong to want to live in Brazil and sort of be a beach bum?
I have already served my community honorably in another capacity. I am almost 28 years old. What should I do?
I know the two options aren't bad, but I'm paralyzed by the opportunity costs of taking one and "missing out" on the other.
(symbol symbol symbol) You're right, I should be an adult and make my own life choices. However, I think it's important to ask for help when making a significant, difficult life choice. Sometimes, when an issue matters a lot to you, it is difficult to step back and see simple problems with one of the options you have and having someone point that out, or otherwise offer advice can make a world of difference.
I think that asking for advice on difficult life choices is the best way to learn from life experiences without having to suffer the consequences of learning the "hard way"...
Thanks again for your answer, symbol symbol symbol.

Pytanie #7:

Who is better, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant?

Kobe fans: If you can come up with this much evidence.....forget it...you can't because LBJ is better.

FIRST OF ALL, lets look at their playoff STATS. LeBron averaged 29.1 points in the playoffs. Kobe averaged 29.2 points. Wow. Big difference. LeBron James averaged 9.3 REBOUNDS PER GAME. Kobe only averaged 6 rebounds per game. LBJ averaged 8... ASSISTS per game. This guy is an amazing passer and team leader. He MAKES his teammates better. LeBron can set up plays like a point guard. Even if he doesn't get the assist, he contributes to the play by setting up the shot. Kobe only gets 5 assists a game, and he doesn't set the plays. In fact, let's say Kobe has to either take a very tough shot that he knows he won't make or pass it to the open Pau Gasol. He would take the shot and miss it 80% of the time. LeBron James has surpasses Kobe in the defensive end of the floor. He is a better on-ball defender, and shot blocker. LBJ gets 1.7 steals per game, while Kobe gets only 1.4. That's actually a pretty big difference when it comes to steals. LBJ is also an amazing shot blocker. LBJ gets 1.8 blocks per game, while kobe only gets 0.7. Finally, one of the most important categories to compare is field goal percentage and 3 point percentage. This is an analysis of how many shots you take and how many you make. LBJ's field goal percentage is 0.502 and his 3 point percentage is 0.400. That is very efficient. Kobe has HORRIBLE percentages. His field goal percentage is 0.458 and his 3 point percentage is 0.374. That is horrible. That means that Kobe jacks up a LOT of shots per game, but he only makes a little.
These are PLAYOFF performances. For those who say that LBJ chokes in the playoffs, well he doesn't. LeBron plays AMAZING in the playoffs. He plays way better than Kobe. The only reason the Cavs got eliminated was because LeBron's teammates chocked. Antwan Jamison, who was supposed to play great, only got 5 points. LeBron got 27 points, 10 assists and 19 rebounds in Game 6 vs the Celtics. Those are AMAZING stats, and that was a great performance by LeBron. But the Cavs lost even though LeBron played well because his teammates didn't show up. On the other hand, Kobe has amazing teammates. Kobe played HORRIBLE in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He shot 24 SHOTS but he only made 6 of them. That is sad. And yet, the Lakers won because Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, and Derek Fisher really played well. Basketball is a team sport, not an individual sport. That is why LeBron doesn't have a championship ring. LeBron had horrible teammates who do well in the regular season, but they choke in the playoffs. LeBron played AMAZING, but his teammates FAILED and the Cavaliers lost. Kobe played HORRIBLE, but his teammates SUCCEEDED and the Lakers won.
For the people who say that Kobe is more clutch and better at last second shots, actually LeBron is better at last second shots. The only reason the Cavs didn't need last second shots was because LeBron took care of business early in the game. Instead of jacking up a last second shot to win by 1 point, the Cavs always won by 8 or 10 points. LeBron has a higher percentage of making second shots. Some people like to say LeBron quit in the playoffs. HE DID NOT QUIT. He had a triple-double in Game 6. That is an amazing feat. ONce again, the Cavs only lost because LeBron's teammates played horrible. Kobe quit in the playoffs in 2006 vs the Phoenix Suns. Look it up. Kobe is the one who quit.

Cleveland is a garbage city. No one wants to play for Cleveland. LeBron James tried really hard to convince Chris Bosh to come play with him in Cleveland, but Bosh said no. In the 1980s, Kareem Abdul Jabbar went to the Lakers to play with Magic Johnson. Scottie Pippen went to Chicago in the draft to play with Michael Jordan. Jordan and Johnson were in great positions because other great players came to play with them. BUt, LeBron's situation is different. Cleveland is a crappy town, and people didn't want to come to Cleveland. So, LeBron was forced to leave. If he stayed in Cleveland, his crappy teammates would've failed again, and he would never win a championship. So, LeBron went to Miami to play with Wade and Bosh. There's nothing wrong with having lots of help on your team. Magic Johnson is considered the 2nd best player of all time, and he had LOTS of help. He had the amazing Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and lets not forget, he had all-star James Worthy. LeBron will average a TRIPLE-DOUBLE in Miami. You know how hard that is. Kobe NEVER got a triple double. A triple double is when you get double digit assists, double digit points, and double digit rebounds. LeBron will be the PLAYMAKER in Miami. His assists will be very high. His points will remain very high, and his rebounding will go WAY up. LeBron will still have monster stats in MIAMI. LeBron will still be the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER.

So after that analysis, I conclude that LeBron is the best

Pytanie #11:

real life super heroes?

And you thought superheroes existed only in fiction? Inspired by fiction superheroes such as Batman and Superman, these people wear masks and capes in order to fight real crime on the strets. Here's a list with 10 of the most famous real-life superheroes.
Superbarrio (Mexico)
He's faster than a speeding turtle, able to leap small speed bumps in a single bound. Look, up in the sky ... Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superbarrio -- a flabby caped crusader in cherry red tights who traverses the streets of Mexico City, defending the lower class. A high school dropout with a humble upbringing, Superbarrio has become one of Mexico City's greatest folk heroes. For the past 10 years, he has stood as the champion of the working class, the poor and the homeless.

"I opened my eyes and found myself as you see me with a voice telling me, 'You are Superbarrio,'" he said, explaining that his name means super-neighborhood. "I can't stop a plane or a train single-handed, but I can keep a family from being evicted." His role is primarily symbolic as the protector of low-income neighborhoods. But on behalf of squatters and labor unions, Superbarrio leads protest rallies, files petitions and challenges court decisions. Rumors also have circulated that he attempted to run for the president of the United States to better protect Mexican workers. His followers find him inspirational and recently erected a statue in his honor -- a giant lifelike replica that looks like an oversized Cabbage Patch doll at 40. The awed crowd chanted, "You see him. You feel him. Superbarrio is here!"
Terrifica (NY City)
Terrifica patrols New York City's bars, clubs, and streets by night, in an effort to protect inebriated women in danger of being taken advantage of by men. Since the mid-1990s Terrifica has donned a golden mask, Valkyrie bra, blond wig, red boots and cape, to distract the men she tries to dissuade from seducing drunk young women. She carries a utility belt containing a pepper spray, cell phone, lipstick, a camera to photograph alleged predators, a journal, Terrifica fortune cards, and Smarties for energy. Terrifica has an arch-nemesis, a self-proclaimed philanderer who calls himself Fantastico. "I protect the single girl living in the big city," says Terrifica. By day, she is Sarah, a 30-year-old single woman who works for a computer consulting company. "I do this because women are weak. They are easily manipulated, and they need to be protected from themselves and most certainly from men and their ill intentions toward them."
The Eye (Mountain View California)
The Eye is a 48 year-old superhero who patrols the streets of Mountain View, California. He is a street-level, practical crime fighter, who uses various electronic and other means to prevent crime. He has even got a myspace page!
Citizen Prime (Phoenix)
Citizen Prime, a 40-year-old married man whose first name is Jim, has been protecting the streets of Phoenix for a year. He became a superhero to spread the message that people don't have to be fearful of crime. "Are you going to sit inside scared that a terrorist might attack your city, or are you going to go out and live your life?" he asked. But Prime, who patrols once or twice a week in a black, blue and yellow costume, found one chink in his armor. He couldn't find any crime. "The only crime I've ever stopped is when I was actually walking out of a sporting goods store with my wife," he said. "A shoplifter came running past me, and I managed to throw him to the ground."
Tothian (NJ and NY city)
Tothian, 22, is a superhero who protects New Jersey and New York, is one of the more active heroes. He uses his skills as a Marine reservist and martial arts expert when patrolling the streets, and has escorted women home at night and broken up fights. His uniform--he prefers that term to costume--is black combat boots, green cargo pants and a T-shirt. His logo, which is stitched into the middle of the T-shirt with cut-up bandanas, is made from the letters used to spell Tothian. Tothian doesn't wear a mask because it blocks his peripheral vision, and says he doesn't wear a cape "because capes get in the way of actually doing real superhero stuff." Tothian says he doesn't want to become a police officer because he doesn't agree with every law on the book. "I'm not out to punish every single criminal," he said. For example, he would counsel marijuana smokers, but wouldn't apprehend them as bad guys. Tothian said he gets some strange looks when people find out he's a superhero. But after people realize he's out to protect them, he says their trepidation eases somewhat.
Angle Grinder Man (London, and Kent)
Angle-grinder Man patrols by night looking for unhappy drivers who have been clamped and then sets the

Pytanie #15:

This ESPN reporter says Kobe is BETTER than Jordan!!!!!! AGREE?

Keep in mind this was written back in 2007 before Kobe led the Lakers to back to back to back Finals appearances and Back to back Championships. Also before he won 3 MVPs (1 reg, 2 finals).

So do you agree or disagree?

Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan.

Not more successful.

Hasn't had a bigger economic impact.

Hasn't won more MVPs.


Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images

Kobe Bryant did something Michael Jordan never
did -- score 50-plus in four consecutive games.
Hasn't won more titles.

But he's a better player.

Kobe can do everything Michael did, and even a few things Michael couldn't do.

Kobe is just as good a defender. His killer instinct is just as pronounced. He can shoot, finish and explode. And just like Jordan, the more he's pissed off, the more unstoppable he is.

At the very least, Kobe's scoring spree over the last week should put to rest any lingering doubts that he's the best player in the NBA. Yes, better than Steve Nash, who is the best point guard, but not the lethal force that Kobe is. Yes, better than Dwyane Wade, who is certainly closer to the Kobe-Jordan level than LeBron James, but D-Wade's game is not as polished as Kobe's.

Kobe's streak of four straight 50-points-plus games is something none of those players can do, and it's something that hasn't been done since Wilt Chamberlain, who had an NBA-record seven straight 50-point games. Truthfully, Kobe should have tacked another 50 on Golden State on Sunday night.

Of course, the idea that Kobe is better than Jordan -- or even the best player in this league -- is as repugnant to some folks as a rectal exam. Even though Kobe has proven himself under pressure countless times, he gets the A-Rod treatment.

Kobe can't please anyone. And it doesn't help that most people suffer from revisionist history when it comes to Jordan, forgetting that he was just as poor a teammate and a ball hog and that he ran off coach Doug Collins like Kobe ran off Phil Jackson the first time.

In fact, you could argue that Jordan was even worse. Far as we know, Kobe hasn't jacked up any of his teammates the way Jordan punched out Steve Kerr and Will Perdue at practice.

Kobe will never be forgiven for Shaq's departure, but you're delusional if you think Jordan wouldn't have had any ego issues playing alongside a player with Shaq's star power.

The best-player argument shouldn't be determined by personal dislike. But if you want to take it there, fine. Jordan was hardly the ideal husband, but only the tabloids were brave enough to venture into his personal life. And what about those gambling issues? If Jordan's life had been covered like Kobe's, we would have an entirely different opinion of His Airness.

Besides a different level of media scrutiny, there was definitely a difference in the level of competition during Jordan's heyday compared to now.


AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill

We ask you to step back and take an objective look. Isn't Kobe the best player in the NBA?
Yesterday's NBA player certainly was more fundamentally sound, but there's no question that today's player is bigger, stronger and faster. When Jordan played, he was a singular force that could not be equaled. Jordan was guarded by the likes of John Starks and Joe Dumars, who were fine players but weren't nearly as skilled or physically imposing as LeBron, D-Wade, Tracy McGrady or even Vince Carter.

The NBA is tougher now.

Kobe, like Michael, is surrounded with mediocre to below-average talent, and Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio are all better than the Utah, Portland and the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix team that Michael met in the NBA Finals.

Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson and Patrick Ewing will be among the best centers ever, but none of them affected the league the way Shaq and Tim Duncan have. There are two two-time MVPs in Kobe's own conference (Duncan, Nash), which is a problem Jordan never faced during his championship runs. Seven-footers weren't launching 3s back then. Magic Johnson and the Lakers were on a downward spiral, and the Pistons were on their last legs. It was Michael and everyone else. That's not the case for Kobe.

The shame of it is that Kobe might finish his career without a MVP, even though his ability can be compared only to that of Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. All this time we've been looking for a player who is better than Jordan, but most of us can't get beyond whether we like or dislike Kobe as a person to recognize his contributions to the game.

Ultimately the MVP award will go to either Nash or Dirk Nowitzki, who are deserving this season, but neither are as good as Kobe. Dallas and Phoenix are strong enough to make the playoffs without their stars. The Lakers, however, are a lottery team without Kobe.

Loandbehold i get to Vegas and after 1 month I am told that i am unable to go to the gym of my choice because it is a super sport and that costs more money.

How long would it take for blacks to dominate?

I grew up in Phoenix Arizona and as children, we were more involved in swimming than we were basketball or football. If black children all of a sudden became interested in swimming as a sport and large numbers started to enter the sport competitively, how long would it take for them to dominate the sport....if at all? Maybe it is just not a sport that blacks could ever dominate. What's your honest "non derogatory racial" opinion?

Pytanie #22:

Why do people say the Lakers losing in '04 was Kobe's fault?

It had nothing to do with Shaq showing up over weight and outta shape during training camp and during the whole season.

It had nothing to do with Shaq shooting 27% from the free throw line?

It had Nothing to do with Shaq getting out rebounded all series against 6'9 Ben Wallace?

It had nothing to do with Kobe working his butt off all off season to become faster only to see Shaq show up outta shape and wanting all the shots.

It had nothing to do with Shaq refusing to get surgery during the summer? Remember "I got hurt on company time, so I'll heal on company time."



It had nothing to do with Shaq quitting on the Lakers and Kobe? Just like he quieted on Orlando and Penny. Just like he quieted on Miami and Wade. Just like he quited on Phoenix and Steve Nash. He will probably quit on Cleveland and Lebron. Going on history Shaq will quit when things aren't going his way.




GRAY: What was your reaction to Shaq saying the Lakers are his team, and everybody knows it?

BRYANT: It doesn't matter whose team it is. Nobody cares. I don't, Karl doesn't, Gary doesn't, and our teammates and the fans don't either. There's more to life than whose team this is. But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not over dramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, "my team" doesn't mean only when we win; it means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy.

Pytanie #29:

Can somebody please explain to me why David Stern is rigging certain home games and then hoping we wont notice?

Lol i just dont understand why the Suns couldnt draw all these fouls at Staples Center? All of a sudden when the series goes to Phoenix they are the masters of drawing fouls? And dont sit there and say its because the Lakers "took jump shots" or its because of the Suns "zone defense".....because the Suns are not showing the Lakers anything new or something they dont already know how to deal with. Phil Jackson is not a noob and the Lakers are all experienced playoff veterans now. This same crap happened with the OKC Thunder series where when they got to their homefloor, they suddenly shot 1,876 free throws compared to the Lakers 2 (LOL) and then when the series when back to LA the officiating became pretty even again and the Lakers win in a blow out. But we were made to believe it was because "the Thunder were young and had a fast paced game", even though the Lakers put on a 30 point beat down beginning in first quarter and lasting until late 4th, when Phil began taking starters out. Face it, the refs play a major factor in the playoffs and the NBA is a controlled sport in the interest of profit....just like any other pro sport, and i bet you anything players are made to realize this before they sign that contract. I still think the plan is to have a Boston/LA rematch, but i also think the plan was to rigg up a few home games to make up for the Semi Finals, in which the NBA missed out on a lot of money. (Suns swept, Lakers swept, and Magic swept.)
Also look at this video and dont you think if any other player besides this one or a few other stars had made a statement like this he would have been in big trouble by Stern?

Why has the Philippines not produced an NBA player?

Basketball is by far the most popular team sport in the Philippines. It has been played for nearly a century in the Philippines, brought over by the Americans, and the PBA (Philippine Basketball League) has been in existence since 1975, with professional leagues prior to it having a healthy following.

Despite this widespread interest in basketball among the general populace in the Philippines, the PI have not sent a single player to the NBA. What gives? It's not height, exactly, since 5'10" Yuta Tabuse of Japan made the Phoenix Suns, and other short players have been able to play in the NBA. It's not money, either, since many much poorer countries than the PI have also managed to send at least one player to the NBA.

69 percent support the idea of requiring police to check identification and immigration papers when writing traffic tickets if they suspect the person is in the U.S. illegally. Twenty-three percent oppose that concept. Click Here this is the very thing Obama is criticizing Arizona for and apologizing to Mexico's President for and state department officials bring it up and apologizing for it to the Chinese in our talks about their Human Rights violations.

freedom of recreational sport fishing - Obama want to regulate it
Bailouts of banks - 53% are against
Bailout of GM - 67% opposed
Pride in our country - Obama is always apologizing for America to foreigners
Socialism - only 18% support - 24% of Democrats

With this and other evidence that the Policy and positions of the Obama administration run counter to the will of the people can it be said that:OBAMA IS GOVERNING AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE???

Why are Immigration Activists angry with the position Lakers coach, Phil Jackson has taken?

LOS ANGELES (CBS) -- The immigration debate heated up as the L.A. Lakers open the Western Conference Finals against the Phoenix Suns.

The Mexican American Political Association and the Southern California Immigration Coalition demonstrated outside Monday night's NBA playoff game at the Staples Center.

The groups are angry with the position Lakers coach, Phil Jackson, recently took on the immigration debate.

Jackson was asked two weeks ago about the Phoenix Suns wearing their Los Suns jerseys in protest during a playoff game. He said Arizona was taking federal law and putting some bite into it.

On Monday, Jackson issued a statement saying he is wary of putting sports organizations in the middle of political controversies. He says his earlier statements should not be used by either side to rally support.

"I've been involved in a number of progressive political issues over the years and I support those who stand up for their beliefs. It is what makes this country great. I have respect for those who oppose the new Arizona immigration law, but I am wary of putting entire sports organizations in the middle of political controversies. This was the message of my statement," he said.

"I know others feel differently, even in the Lakers organization, but it was a personal statement. In this regard, it is my wish that this statement not be used by either side to rally activists," he added.

Activists want the Lakers to put on the Los Lakers jerseys they wore for a game on March 21 to honor Hispanic fans. Lakers spokesman John Black says those jerseys will not be worn during the playoffs.

On the other hand they are the number one home run hitting team this season. Hopefully they will be able to get their defense together. Who do you thing is the best player on the team is? I think it is Mark Reynolds, he is doing very well with eight home runes and only has one error. Also the world cup is starting soon. Many great teams will be playing.

Pytanie #41:

Should the Phoenix Suns Owner Mr. Sarver move the Suns to Mexico?

If Robert Sarver is so pro-illegal immigrant, to call his team “Los Suns,” maybe he should just move the team to Mexico City, where they could be called “Los Soles” every night of the season.



His use of Cinco de Mayo as the excuse for changing the players’ uniforms is in very bad taste, when 70 percent of Arizona residents support Senate Bill # 1070. And should the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks, they can go south of the border also, if they want to play politics, rather than sports.?

Did Brian Kilmeade forget to check his facts?

Pytanie #47:

If I were to sneak into a "Los Suns" game illegally, would I be granted amnesty or deported from the arena?

"Amnesty for illegal Phoenix Suns fans"

Click Here

Imagine thousands of people were sneaking into Phoenix Suns games without tickets. The management would quickly crack down on the "undocumented spectators." Security personnel would engage in "profiling" - singling out younger male fans wandering around without obvious seats. They would want to see some "papers" - ticket stubs. Those lacking documentation would be deported out of the arena, or, in some cases, arrested.

Suns owner Robert Sarver seems to think that the rules that apply to his for-profit local monopoly should not apply to the state of Arizona. After a unanimous team vote held at his house, Mr. Sarver ordered his players to wear "Los Suns" jerseys during last night's Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. The move is an explicit protest against the new immigration law, which Mr. Sarver says calls into question "our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law."

The mangled Spanish jerseys (a literal translation would be "Los Soles") were first produced four years ago as part of the NBA's annual "Noche Latina" marketing campaign. Saskia Sorrosa, NBA senior director of Hispanic marketing, explained that "Noche Latina is an opportunity for us to thank the Hispanic community for their support and showcase how their pride and passion impact our teams and players." The campaign attempts to tread the fine line between marketing and pandering to a demographic that makes up an estimated 15 percent of the NBA fan base.

Suns General Manager Steve Kerr said the point of the jerseys was not to make "a huge political statement" but to "celebrate the diversity that exists here in Arizona." Yet diversity is not at issue, criminality is. Arizona's immigration law is not, as its frenzied detractors seem to think, a legal form of ethnic cleansing. It simply seeks to put into effect the existing federal laws that the Obama administration is either unwilling or incapable of enforcing.

With 70 percent of Arizonans backing the tough immigration stance, the Suns risk alienating a significant number of fans. ESPN asked whether it was appropriate for the Suns to "take a stand against the Arizona immigration law" in an online poll yesterday. Fifty-seven percent in Arizona answered no, slightly higher than the 55 percent negative response nationally.

It's never a good idea to mix sports and politics. A sports team should be a focus of unity in a community, not a source of division. Sporting events should be a refuge from politics, a safe haven from the growing partisan divide. Teams should not be used as sounding boards for the personal political views of the team owner or players. Sports franchises are granted monopoly privileges in their communities and in return assume special responsibilities. One of them should be to stick to the sports arena and stay out of the political arena.

So while millionaire athletes become walking billboards for a political cause, the state of Arizona might want to review the terms of its relationship with the Suns. If Mr. Sarver wants to use his team to push a political agenda, perhaps citizens can push back. Imagine Phoenix residents channeling the spirits of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. by turning up en masse to Suns games, sneaking in without tickets, demanding special services like free food and access to box seats, overtaxing arena security and ruining the game for the people with tickets. They can call it a celebration of diversity.

Pytanie #48:

Was the Phoenix Suns protest against Arizona immigration law appropriate?

Last night the Phoenix Suns wore "Los Suns" on their jerseys in support of the Latino fans who protest the Arizona immigration law. The game was played on Cinco De Mayo and they whipped the Spurs btw. Anyoo....the question is should sports oorganizationsuse their visibility to support or protest issues that have a dramatic effect on their fans or should they stick to sports and leave politics alone? This may be the first time that an entire sports organization protested a moral issue since Jackie Robinson and a few other supporters forced the MLB to postpone opening day for Martin Luther King's funeral in 1968. Even then the act was initiated by an individual and not an entire organization. What do yo think?
