Not surprising really. Baseball has been berry good to latin America and they probably watch in greater percentages than we do.

All I know is, I love the home run call on ESPN Deportes (once I was watching on regular ESPN, their audio feed went out and for some reason they piped in Deportes).

PROFUNDO?! No no no no no!!!!

These broadcasts were,no doubt,intended for our Mexican cousins living in Tijuana and surrounding areas of Mexico.

Democrats strive to divide our society into various social, racial and ethnic categories.

I do not welcome the Spanish language in the United States.

I resent having to press “1” for English.

ESL in schools is designed to deny the benefits of the English language to immigrants.

Ballots should be printed only in English.
