Please head on over to SLC Dunk for your Basketball John fix.
As if we didn’t have image problems already…
As if Jazz fans aren’t typecast enough. Now a group of FLDS sympathizers are going to protest the game on Thursday v. Houston. They’re protesting the treatment of the FLDS church and families in Texas that’s going on right now. The Salt Lake City attorney, Bob Breeze (who looks like he’s trying to drum up name recognition for himself), is calling for a protest rally and even to go so far as this,
Breeze is asking local FLDS supporters to show up at the hotel rooms of the Rockets’ players. “We’re working on a plan to have a number of the polygamist women go and have a meeting with the team players,” he said.
Well that makes sense. This can only end well.
I’ll be at the game and will see if I can get pictures. And come early to make your own protest sign. Breeze stated that he will be providing the paint for your signs. I wonder if he’ll let me use any to paint my face.

Hey BBJ, I have problems accessing your site during the day (8am-4pm EDT) every day…but everything is fine starting in the late afternoon. It just can’t find your site or load the page. Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks.
I check on it pretty much all day and it’s usually up. The time of day makes me think that it gets blocked by something. It looks like you’re coming from a college campus. They might have a scheduled block set in place during work hours for non-”work” sites.
That’s very strange…I never have had problems accessing any other sites (including various other Jazz and NBA blogs), so I am fairly sure it’s not a block. I’ll let you know if I can’t access your site again today. It was a surprise that it actually loaded this morning when I tried to access it. Thanks.
You’ve got to be kidding me!!! If this guy is supplying the materials to make the signs than people should use his materials to make signs that say “go Jazz” or something. I’ve heard everything now. This lawyer is a crazy as the FLDS
Oh dear! As you say that’s going to make us look good, still on the positive side it might actually give basketball the tiniest bit of media exposure here in Britain.
Wow. As if there are a lot of FLDS supporters in SLC??? Right. This is the craziest thing I’ve heard in awhile. Luckily I’ll be in Cali, far away from all the Utards.
Just found your blog off of truehoop. I appreciated the Ronnie Price interview, I miss out on all that stuff outside of Utah.
Thanks for the read. Are you out there for school?
that’s insane. it’ll confuse even more people into thinking flds=lds=utah.
didn’t the raid happen in texas? why don’t they protest in texas?
“This can only end well. ”
(sarcasm on), Yeah Right… (sarcasm off)
Right off the bat, I’m no fan of bolted societies where fellow human beings are molded into some shape or another while being kept from the real world that we all live in. I care not the title of the org, multiple wives/husbands such does not matter. I care not the the title of the group either, FLDS, Branch Dividian, purple folks for outer space, just does not matter.
BUT But bUt buT !!!!!
Though I as well do not condone the use of the NBA Playoffs for anybody to shout out their plight, I can hardly believe the almost total silence of the citizens of the USA on this most glaring example of the total failure of govt to step in and protect the RIGHTS of the citizens of this country.
This is not about what you believe or practice in your life, it’s about your civil rights in this country, or should I state the civil rights you only think you have!
Take away the titles and the images the press and others have contributed. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU OR EVEN YOUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY TOMORROW!
The SCOUTS has been very specific that the mere suspicion of a crime, even backed up by other citizens, does NOT have the right to warrant, or invade, or seize or flat out steal your children or their lives from under you! This action was caused by a woman in CO, with a criminal record of filing false police reports, posing as this so called Sara, whom can’t be located on the compound, 16 yr old mother of two by a 50 yr old husband!
She was arrested, posted bail, and has disappeared!
This action by TX officials dwarfs those committed by Mike Nifong against three lacrosse players a year ago. DWARFS it.
This can-o-worms that CPS-TX opened is so big, we all could fish using only live worms for the next 200 years and still have bait in the can!
I am stupefied that they found a judge to actually go along with and support the illegal activities they, (the govt.) is forcing upon fellow citizens of the USA!
This action is clearly a transgression of the constitution of the USA! Good thing oil is doing well cuz the Texans are gonna need every bit of it to pay off the lawsuits, no judgments to come against them from the yet to be filed lawsuits.
They deserve it!
Just think about it a bit.
I know that if the govt just committed a crime against me, even though people do not like me, I would probably use any public venue to attract attention to my plight.
But this group should be SCREAMING “CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION”! At every opportunity.
That said, I do not desire to see this venue used for such, but…. the rest of the citizens do seem to need a nudge on the subject of civil rights, and what’s left of the thread bare fourth amendment!
Think about it a bit.

off topic: AWESOME Kirilenko highlight video. But be warned, it’s a Cyprus Hill rap song (salty language, but the song is what makes it great)
one more video for those who haven’t seen it yet–
a recent interview with karl
warning: the highlights they show will make you miss the mailman(’s post moves) like hell–as it’s something the current jazz PF lacks…
