Another Phoenix team, the Phoenix Rising (football) has also invited him to be their guests at a game. I think he is supposed to go this Friday.

Re: This is cool
Pretty cool of the Suns.
...but
...but
I'd be interested in knowing how the invites were sent out and how they was worded. I find it really hard to believe that not 1 of 32 kids showed up if the invitations were sent how a week ahead of time, were clear as to when and where, and if the kid (or maybe it's mom) is not a complete dick. I find it very hard to believe.We’re also prepared to shame the parents of the 32 children who did not show up.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Read some of the comments in the article I read. An unbelievable number of people are DEFENDING the blow-off and the lack of notification.BackInTex wrote:Pretty cool of the Suns.

I don't have difficulty believing it's all about the rise of selfishness and the demise of etiquette and common courtesy.
One way to send a message, though the kid's mom is probably above this, is to invite all 32 to go the Suns game with him and then stand them up. Let them see how it feels...
