in football, due to the Arizona immigration flap?
I suspect not long...given the flap over pink locker rooms, etc
That's wrong on so many levels. I'll just say those people need to live in the real world for awhile.

Too early--the semester is ending, and summer is around the corner. Wait until football season starts up.
...maybe for the 9/18/10 game in Arizona, we could wear uniforms that say "Los Hawkeyes" or something, to placate the flannel shirt crowd, a la...
Probably not long. I don't see how anyone gives it serious consideration though.
I actually think all the attention out there is a good thing. It's not that I don't view illegal immigration as a problem but for the life of me I can't understand how anyone would think enforcement of a policy that essentially leagalizes racial profiling is the answer. It's kind of like trading chicken pox for the measals.
Shouldn't it have been "Los Sols"? I mean, if you're going to protest, do it right.
Great, the one thing I remember from Spanish class, and you beat me to it.Technically "Suns" is a proper name so it wouldn't change during translation.

Who cares what a bunch of lumberjacks think?
(borderline racism in MY Hawkeyenation? It's more likely than you think.)
Not trying to get this sent to the cave, but that isn't what the law in Arizona is about, or what it does. As written, the law specifically prohibits racial profiling.
In a basic sense, what Arizona is doing is turning federal law into state law, with the difference being that this time the law will actually be enforced.
This discussion should probably be in another forum but...
I understand the "purpose" of the law is just to lay out guidelines on how to enforce federal law. The problem I have with it is that in order to enforce it officers of the state (law enforcement) are forced to use racial profiling. Under it law enforcement are directed to question anyone whose nationality is questioned and turn them into federal authorities and there is no way that can be done fairly and without prejudice. As an example...
The police encounter drunk belligerent white guy laying in the street. The guy in the street refuses to give his name or any information to the cops (pretty common). The cops see he’s white and appears to speak English so they take him to the drunk tank.
Now consider the same situation with drunk belligerent Hispanic guy. He speaks little or no English and refuses to identify himself. The police in this instance would have to send him to federal authorities to identify his nationality and immigration status.
The behavior of the two men were no different, but because one was Hispanic and one what Caucasian they get treated differently.
Hey, no racism here. I'm talking about THIS flannel shirt crowd...

Yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense.
