NFL Ref. Makes Call In Spanish

October 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I get it the NFL wants to expand its audience. First I had to sit through President Obama ramble on about who cares what he says anyway. Then I had to listen to Gloria Estefan sound like a wood chipper and I don’t care or remember who was first Obama or Gloria. I am not a Jet or Dolphin fan I am an Eagle and football fan. So I sit down with my son and begin watching the game. The first penalty is called and the referee explains the penalty in Spanish. My son and I just look at each other and he says to me,this is America shouldn’t he be speaking English? I said you’re 100% right son he should. If people want to hear the game in Spanish turn on ESPN Deportes or Univision. What’s next, the NFL celebrating Gay Pride month? Imagine how many players would be uncomfortable with that? What would NFL players have more of an issue with Rush Limbaugh owning a team or a gay guy owning a team? The gay guy would have full access to the shower room. How could the NFL say no? If they do they would be discriminating against gays. Note to Roger Goodell: Keep all this crap out of football!

    WOW! Racist and homophobic any? You may need your head examined, you’re losing your mind.

    [...] Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by having the referee call out the first penalty in Spanish? Whoa! The NFL can’t speak American during Monday Night Football? How many TV sets in Red State America clicked off immediately after that? [...]
