Phil Jackson Thinks Lakers Should Stay Out Of Hyperbole Surrounding Arizona Immigration Law


There are idiot lefties who respond strictly to hyperbole, jump on the first bandwagon available and then rant about stuff they know little to nothing about (much less read like Eric Holder, Janet Napolitino and Barack Obama) and then there are guys like Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson. a noted liberal with enough acumen to know that there are two sides to every story:
First Jackson, who has showed lefty leanings in the past, indicated he had no problem with the controversial state Senate Bill 1070.

“Am I crazy, or am I the only one that heard [the legislature] say ‘we just took the United States immigration law and adapted it to our state,’” Jackson said.


I told him they usurped the federal law.


“It’s not usurping, it’s just copying it is what they said they did, and then they gave it some teeth to be able to enforce it,” Jackson said.


Then he mildly scolded the Suns.


“I don’t think teams should get involved in the political stuff. And I think this one’s still kind of coming out to balance as to how it’s going to be favorably looked upon by our public. If I heard it right the American people are really for stronger immigration laws, if I’m not mistaken. Where we stand as basketball teams, we should let that kind of play out and let the political end of that go where it’s going to go.”
