NFL ^ | 10092009 | TDC

Posted on 10/09/2009 6:42:21 PM PDT by TheDailyChange

One question: WHY is it that in America you are now seeing Mexican this, and Mexican that, every where you turn?

Hey, I enjoy a good Mexican meal and Margarita just like the next person, however,there seems to be all this IN-YOUR-FACE PANDERING to Mexicans 24/7.

Now the NFL is honoring Hispanic Heritage Month, WHAT?

What about HONORING ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE OF THE WORLD who call America home also?

Anyone else FED UP with this BS?

Hmmmmmmmm?

They make up a big chunk of the population. Apparently, they will be the majority before too long (30 years?), even if illegal immigration was totally stopped tomorrow.

The NFL would honor dwarves from Burkina Faso if it saw a buck to be made.

I’ll be enjoying hispanic heritage month by providing “cultural interaction” with at least one lady from every Spanish-speaking country.

Actually, “Hispanic” is not even a race, per the US census. That is where that “Hispanics can be of any race” disclaimer comes from.

Why hasn't my Scandinavian Heritage been honored by the NFL? Does the NFL have some kind of particular hatred for us Skandies?

Hispanics and Italians share the same “heritage month,” but the Eye-Ties aren’t a protected class, unless they came here via Argentina.

Back in the 70's a movement was started in Pittsburgh for the National Association of White People.

Since then this effort has been tried several times across the US.
Somehow the US Government shuts them down every time.

White people may need a bigger mouth and a little more disrespect for all things societal except for that which pertains to themselves.

Almost all those nationalities have Heritage Days that are celebrated in various states and localities. For instance Swedish Heritage Day (Svenkarnas Dag) has been celebrated in both Michigan and Minnesota. There are even some places that celebrate Russian Heritage Day. In fact the only nationality from your list that doesn't get celebrated for at least one day is the British.

Your right..

Pink was worn to support cancer and the fight to find a cure, that’s fine, however, the FEMINIZATION of MALE SPORTS is indeed PATHETIC and WEAK to say the least!

I don’t know how many people will continue to watch the fluff that is NFL now.
First there was politics, Olberman, making a statement about Rush being on. Now the players dressed for cancer support, now heritage support, my gosh what is next?
Leave the NFL alone.

Up until the new Cowboys stadium opened the highest attendance games in NFL history were in Mexico City. The first Mexico City game was the first to break 100,000 and it was a pre-season game.

In other words, there’s a lot of money with Hispanic heritage just waiting for the NFL to gather it up. Heck yeah they’ll honor the month.

If those jackasses screw Rush out of his opportunity to purchase the Rams I say we boycott them forever.

Fair enough and true enough. Based on this fact, maybe the NFL should replace beer with margaritas and the cheerleaders with a Mariachi Band?

What do you think?

I’m all for breast cancer research, but why did I have to tune in to an NFL game last week and see players and coaches alike wearing pink shoes, pink hats and pink towels?

STOP IT.

Actually with the upscaling of the sports world you can get margaritas at pretty much every stadium. Mariachi bands don’t show enough skin, and they’re not all that marketable (teams with cheer squads make a couple mil more per year, and because cheer squad merch doesn’t have true team logo they don’t have to give a cut to the league).
