Members Arm~On~Fire Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 I tried pressing "1" on my TV remote, but.... The field had "American Futbol" on it as well. I saw the stats, ads, etc in Spanish and was like "WTF?!" The game was in Miami though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wizard of Ozz Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 At least one of the commercials was in Spanish all the way through. That's about the same as trying to get help in English at a Home Depot in Miami. Eh... Yuwa speeka de Spaneesh eh meng? It's a hell hole down here. Really.

Members Wizard of Ozz Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 Spanish appreciation month or something. They mentioned it during the game. It's "Hispanic Appreciation Month", every month, 12 months a year in Miami. It's all part of the cities "speak Spanish or get treated like {censored} campaign." It's been going on for the last 20 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ***1776*** Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 I was watching it as well and thought it was just silly What about heritage night for other nationalities and cultures? I know its Southern Flordia (heavy spanish population) but what about the DOZENS of other cultures? Im not trolling but making a point! Overall I just think its silly --- lets celebrate ALL nationalities and ethnicities in humanity/mankind, especially since we are all in the melting pot called America. hows that idea? Oooo and Enrique Engliasas halftime performance? I think i could be his drummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MetalHed Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 The NFL has made no secret of the fact that they are thrilled that Mark Sanchez landed in NY because it gives them a hispanic QB (the highest profile position) in the highest profile market. Right now one of the few demographics in the US that the NFL hasn't tapped into the hispanic market. They're going to take every opportunity they get to market the hell out of Sanchez to the hispanic crown in hopes of getting a foothold in that demographic. They know that they'll never be more popular than soccer with that demographic, but they want to at least be second to soccer, whereas right now the majority of hispanics that follow football are the ones who were born here in the states. The hope is that the NFL can get some of the rest of the hispanic population interested by virtue of Sanchez being hispanic. It's a sport, but it's also a billion dollar business......

Mark Sanchez--third generation born in America. Took classes as a Junior in college to enable him to communicate in Spanish without an interpreter.
