    Why do you care? I'm sure a fan would still root for his hometeam no matter what their name was...as long as it wasn't humiliating.

    It would make more sense if the jerseys usually said "The Spurs" and "The Suns". Adding Los does not make it any more readable for Spanish speakers.

    What do you think Los Spurs says idiot? Los Spurs=The Spurs

    "Los" is plural for "El", which is "the"

    It happened for anybody that even caught a glimpse of the game on ABC. Pics are only needed when it is something small that can be overlooked. Go find a highlight on ESPN and you'll see.

    I think you completely missed what I was saying, so stop with the name calling. I was saying that since the jerseys don't usually have "The" on them, they don't need to translate it to "Los".

    Okay, but the idea was to incorporate a Spanish theme into the names. Thats like......the reason. We know jerseys don't usually have "the" on them.

    I never noticed that. Watching highlights now and see. Eh, hardly a big deal for a topic to be made about it.

    They should have just translated the words "Spurs" and "Suns".
