As there are large protests now in San Francisco against the racial violence that has been ongoing and perpetrated against Asian Americans by black youths, instead I happen to view some local San Francisco television station and they report that the San Francisco supervisors are considering having some sort of action/vote/other where the San Francisco Giants baseball team would have to wear jerseys Gigantos in protest of the recent Arizona law and to show solidarity with Hispanic immigrants.
Is this true? I searched the same affiliate web page for that news agency and I could not find any information.
I also entered GIANTS in Yahoo Babel Fish to have the word translated from English to Spanish and Giants in English translated into Giants in Spanish as well. Giant singular translates into Gigante singular in Spanish. So I am not even sure if the supervisors know that, either
This is outrageous. If the Giants do this, or if the Diamondbacks or Suns do the same sort of stunk, I swear to God and I am serious I will never attend any of their games either team again.
They’ve done this before, I believe they did it on Cinco De Mayo last year too. They also have a “Latino Heritage Night” or something like that.
Nah go all the way, Saint Jim Fathers. They could play the Dodgers from The Angels or the Anaheim Angels of The Angels.
I hope they get their butts kicked!
Well, one more “game” I won’t watch. These people think they are making a statement, the new IBD poll just out says 60% of people are in FAVOR of the AZ law. You’d think basketball team owners, being businessmen, would “dis” a potential of 60% of their “customers.” ... amazingly stupid!
This is another elitist industry that wants to poke their collective finger in the eye of law-abiding Americans who believe that our sovereignty is important.
I have two words for them, and they ain’t Happy Birthday.
Gigantos STUPIDIO!
We could trade with Canada, they get San Francisco and we get the province of Alberta.
Republicans and independents watch baseball too.
While the Giants are at it, why don’t the wear bras to protest laws against transgenderism. Wear butt plugs to show solidarity with the homosexual movement.
I just want to watch baseball. I don’t want to watch politics. Same thing I told my pastor. I get enough politics from every other idiot during the week. When I come here on Sunday, talk to me about God.
I think they are known as the "Yankees".

Excellent point! While we are at it, we can take care of some of those other places with foeign names. Des Moines can become “Those Monks”; Baton Rouge can become “Red Stick.”
Air Farce and a squid ... a two time loser and the streak continues on FR.
