This afternoon, I turned the Phoenix Suns' Twitter account into my personal speedbag. Thought I should vent my spleen here as well:
- @PhoenixSuns Hey, thanks for calling the majority of your AZ fans mean-spirited. We really appreciate getting dumped on by the home team!
- @PhoenixSuns Thanks for telling the national media what a bunch of stupid rednecks root for your team. A state boycott is just what we need!
- @PhoenixSuns Thanks for letting us know that Arizona isn't good enough for you. The Sixth Man is WAY overrated -- especially in playoffs!
- @PhoenixSuns It was very, very brave of you to wage war against your fan base. And an excellent business decision!
- @PhoenixSuns Thanks for making sure that there's nowhere -- absolutely nowhere -- I can escape politics. Even for a few hours!
- @PhoenixSuns You're right that Arizona is just like Nazi Germany. They never won an NBA championship either!
- @PhoenixSuns Here's how you avoid being called hypocrites: Don't man the arena gates & whoever sneaks in w/out a ticket gets to stay!
- @PhoenixSuns Did your many corporate sponsors agree to your plan of insulting their fellow Arizonans? It's brave of them to risk a boycott!
- @PhoenixSuns I agree with you that Arizonans are stupid. Maybe someday we'll be as smart as athletes. Or Shakira!
- @PhoenixSuns You might have a point about thinking your fans are stupid. 40 seasons and not one ring? What were we thinking?!
- Breaking: @PhoenixSuns declare tomorrow's game "Fan Contempt Night." Wear "Boycott Arizona" shirt for 1/2 price admission!
- @PhoenixSuns To close: the "Los Suns" jerseys are cool. But calling your fans mean-spirited racists? That's low. And we'll remember. #out
Yeah, I was a little annoyed. My Twitter account is here, be you so inclined.

Re: My response to @PhoenixSuns
It would be great if the fans wore red, white & blue rather than orange at tomorrows game.

Re: My response to @PhoenixSuns
robert sarver, owner of the phoenix suns, is a typical liberal flunky. i suggest he read the bill.
it mirrors and enforces the federal immigration policy which IS NOT enforced. and news flash, i don't form my opinions based on what hoop hacks parrot along with their entitled owners.
hey mr. sarver...how many undocumented gardeners do you have working in your yard?

Or more accurately....understaff the arena gates, then look for people who snuck in, but focus on the brown ones in lieu of proposing any non-race based method by which to search.

Re: My response to @PhoenixSuns
Not only should Los Sols allow people to sneak into the venue and stay to avoid hypocrisy, but they should also give "Undocumented Attendees" free food and Suns merchandise from the concessions. Of course, regular ticket paying folks will have to pay an even steeper price for food and merchandise in order to subsidze those who are, "...only attending the games that other Suns fans don't want to pay to do."
To do otherwise would be cruel and inhumane. Undocumented Attendees are people too!
Racists!

Re: My response to @PhoenixSuns
Right on. I'm with you on this all the way. I'm sure they wouldn't dig it too much if everyone suddenly were promoting to boycott them. Assclowns.
