ESPN has just announced that the NASCAR Busch Race from Mexico City will be in Spanish on ESPN and in English on ESPN2.
RACISM!
ESPN2 is Spanish only....ESPN in English.
Us good old boys are in for a shock - expect NASCAR to start appealing to the Latinos in America HARD.
As good a driver as he is that has a great deal to do with them pushing Montoya Mania.
You are incorrect. I have it on ESPN2 and it's in English. ESPN is in Spanish and they made the announcement prior to the race.
I fail to see the issue here, are you saying you cant turn it too ESPN2? Or you dont have ESPN2? Seems to me that if you have ESPN2 then you are able to hear it in English and thus are in fact paying for English.
No this issue is ESPN is broadcasting in Spanish and not English. It's not the "Extra Spanish Programming Network"!
I'm sorry, I thought I had it on ESPN.....looking at the bottom right corner I do see ESPN2.
I still fail to see an issue, arent they a private company? Is english the official language? Arent they still providing the service yo paid for? WOuld it better if it was switched around? I honestly think this is a non issue if ESPN1 and 2 are both showing the exact same thing except for the language difference.
One time Sunday Night baseball lost its announcer feed, and they had to switch to the Spanish broadcasters. They were better, FAR better, than Joe Morgan and Joe Miller.
Make that John. "PROFUNDO! No, no, no, no!"
So, if I hit my SAP command, will I hear it in English?
No, Vietnamese or Farsi.
But what if someone speaks French? Where is their channel?
And you are right, they were much better.
The issue is: The Mexicans are taking over the country. The US Congress and President Bush are not willing to do anything about people ILLEGALLY entering the US. The ILLEGALS are committing other crimes against CITIZENS of America and filling our jails, using our HEALTH-CARE system, depleting the funds intended for LEGAL citizens, using our WELFARE, our PUBLIC HOUSING, entering our country at the border and fanning out all over the country so they won't be caught, etc etc and all without any proper identification or LEGAL rights to do so, and those of us who care (unlike our politicians, who all want the meximericans for voters) are da**ed sick of the whole cowtowing to Mexican thing AND the businesses etc advertising in spanish and adding "press 2 for English" onto their automated telephone lines.
I USED TO be an American, now I'm not so sure WHAT I am or what the country is.
It won't be long before they broadcast in arabic, too.
Mark my words.
The united states of mexifornimerica...??
It was a Cards/Astros game (Astros being why I was watching it). I think it was a back-and-forth slugfest until you guys pulled away on the strength of a Rolen tater (profundo!), and the announcers were the only reason I stayed tuned in.
