Los Suns speak out

Steve Nash has long been one of my favorite players, not just because he is a rare type of point guard who makes everyone he plays with better, but because he is not afraid to speak his progressive political mind.

So this statement about the Arizona law shouldn’t surprise anyone:

“I think the law is very misguided. I think it is unfortunately to the detriment of our society and our civil liberties and I think it is very important for us to stand up for things we believe in,” Nash said of the bill. “I think the law obviously can target opportunities for racial profiling. Things we don’t want to see and don’t need to see in 2010.”

So yes, as Markos Moulitsas said in a Tweet, Go Los Suns.
