Get Over It

Earlier today, a commenter took a shot at Mark Sanchez and his Mexican flag mouthpiece. I responded and said she may want to Ask A Mexican. Not sure if she would, I did.

And this was what he wrote ...

QWM (Quarterbacking While Mexican): USC Edition

Gustavo is a funny guy. He's very considerate. And he's controversial.

He also sent me this link to one of his columns about Mexican identity, which may be of interest to people who are hot and bothered on all the USC Internet message boards.

Of course, the biggest irony to me is that Sanchez just led the Trojans to a victory over the Irish. You don't hear anybody complaining about that, but imagine what would be said if they were the University of Southern California Mexicans.

Saw the stories about Mark's mouthpiece and saw his comments.

Mark: You play for your TEAM. That team is the Trojans. You do not play for Mexico national team. You do not play for a "community." If you want to do that take up soccer. Quit being a distraction, shut your mouth and play football.

24-23

Sanchez wears a "mouth piece" because he knows that some one is going to shut his mouth for him. The worst American is an hyphenated American.
Having said that, Sanchez is a better QB than Booty. As for soccer, that's an Un-American game. The soccer tractor will not get traction in America.

Seriously, the above two posters make a person sad to be American.

Fortunately they're, ironically, minorities (of opinion)

the house of the hill

And what is Bobak spelled backward? Shish!

such a ridiculously and blatantly racist anti mexican article. you guys are complaining about a mouthpiece when there's an entire university that goes by the slogan "the fighting Irish". Imagine the uproar if someone established a university known as "the fighting mexicans" it would probably be carpet bombed in today's climate
