On Wednesday night, the Suns choose to don the "Los Suns" jersey, as a sign of protest to Arizona's new law. The Suns are owned by Robert Sarver, whose family built a hoteling empire in Tucson. Sarver himself made a fortune in banking. Though the owner has gotten flack for frugality, Sarver made a classy and brilliant move here, by introducing these jerseys during a playoff game.
Arizona was also subject to another protest in 1991. The NFL moved Super Bowl XXVII to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena as a reaction against the state's decision to reject recognition of Martin Luther King Day.
