I'm an anglophone. I'd walk out too. Brock's just being insulting for the publicity. His comments were (probably) taken by the audience similarly to how I took it when I was criticized for saying "y'all" (to several people) in the North.

Brock's just being insulting for the publicity. Pretty strange way to want to get publicity. Look what happened to John Rocker for saying the same thing. I hope this guy tells them to stuff it.

"His comments were (probably) taken by the audience similarly to how I took it when I was criticized for saying "y'all" (to several people) in the North." LOL! "Y'all" is very useful because it fills a void in the English language, which, incidentally, does not occur in Spanish and the other Romance languages.

"Y'all" is offensive? You all=Y'all. Duh.

I'd stand and cheer!
Brock was not being insulting at all -- he is expressing a commonly held truth: This is America. We speak English. Learn it. Love it. Or leave!
