In their words they were "honoring the Latino community." I'm waiting for when the NBA will decide to also honor the French-Canadian community as well as the Slovenian community and the Congolese community among others. Would be fun to see how those jerseys would look.

I'd have been offended if I were hispanic by those jerseys. They did nothing but add to the stereotype that Americans don't care about the spanish language, and everybody here thinks that all you have to do is add a "los" or an "-o" to an English word to make is Spanish.

The Texas Rangers did this a couple of years ago, and I thought it was a disgrace then, and I still think it's a disgrace now.

"Los Espurs" would have been better. They sell banners in SA saying that.

Did this promotion really make anyone like these teams (or basketball in general) any more than they already did?
