How long till bigoted freepers/DUers call for a boycott of ESPN?
Due to the fact that ESPN has SLAPPED "English only" people in the FACE by having the "ESPN Deportes" segment - a sports-new-in-Spanish segment - woven into SportsCenter?

Clutch the pearls!

But.... where will these people get their NASCAR news?

:rofl:

11. Whoever it was, I already had them on ignore.
I usually have a good eye for disruptors. Problem is, now I don't know who to remove from my ignore list. I have two more on there. :shrug: Oh well.....

6. If that law were passed, Bush wouldn't be able to talk in public.
Which is the ONLY compelling rationale I've ever heard for an English-only law.

3. I wish they'd subtitle it.
I LIKE Latino culture, but I'm too old, busy and lazy to learn Spanish. If they'd subtitled Univision and Telemundo in English, I'd watch it; the chicks on the telenovellas are HOT. Same thing with ESPN; I don't have a big problem with a Spanish segment, but I wish they'd accommodate the vast majority of their audience who don't speak Spanish.

12. Just to lighten things up a little, my grandaughter (aged 4) is just
about fluent in Spanish to my shock, dismay and pleasure. Seems she has a little friend she loves to play with and has a grandmother living with them. Kim likes to hang out in their kitchen "'cause it always smells so good." Grandmother was a teacher back in the day, noticed Kim had an ear for the language, and told my son, if she's going to learn Spanish, she's going to learn to speak it correctly. Needless to say our family is thrilled, another advantage taken in our multi-cultural world. Much like Italian, the Spanish language is quite prevalent in our English if we just look at root words. Don't fight it, join it, Kim now has her "spot" in the family as a "teacher" to the rest of us and loves to be the translator...

15. I heard there were 9 million Hispanic NASCAR fans
With Juan Pablo Montoya winning last week, the numbers will probably grow.
