Michael Savage said he was going to the fight. I can’t wait for monday when he mouths off about this!!
Delahoya is an American? I think he is.
Is he fighting out of Juarez or Albuquerque?
Well you’re gonna laugh at this, I live in northern California in a town called Walnut Creek, and at my sister’s graduation someone had the nerve to wave a mexican flag.
Oops, sorry about the typos in the vanity. Always happens when I’m watching the tube and Freeping simultaneously...
Forbes looks like he’s out there just to collect a payday.
The Canadian national anthem is often performed at hockey games in the US and their flag is usually hung from the rafters of most rinks.
Having said that, I understand the difference. I've been living in Homestead, FL for the last 18 months (only 3 more days to go).
The Canandian National Antherm is played whenever the Blue Jays or Expos play stateside. No big deal.
The song is played every night in LA! De La Hoya needs to play it because that is where he gets his under age girls from.
I was watching that, it struck me as odd. I wasn’t paying that much attention, but I did think, “wait a minute, he doesn’t even have an accent, why are they playing the Mexican National Anthem?”
On the other hand, the guys who performed the Mexican National Anthem played it straight, and respectful. The bimbo who did the American National Anthem was awful, why couldn’t she just sing it straight? The last fight I saw, Tom Jones sang the Welsh National Anthem, he sang it great (and if anyone could mess with it, he could have) but whoever sang ours was once again awful. It’s not that, as some profess, our anthem is hard to sing - it is, BUT - this is about people who choose to mess it up and make it awful. Just sing it, that’s all.
Oscar de la Hoya is actually not well-liked by almost anyone who can claim descent from Mexico--legal or not!
I asked about this when it happened.
Oscar has been pandering to Mexican Americans for years. The location of this fight, the cost of the bottom end tickets and th Mexican National Anthem were all just a symptom. Oscar has never been able to handle the fact that large segments of the Mexican American community not only haven’t embraced him, they sincerely dislike him. He is desperate for the love of a group that has generally shunned him.
