"MNF" Announcer Calls in Strong Offensive Line

61. Very well said #55. I'am also an American of Mexican parents. Stop the ignorance and racists words. I don't understand why you don't leave our brothers and sisters from Mexico alone. Mexicans are not going anywhere and we can speak Spanish anytime or anywhere we feel like it. It's a free country. And for those who don't speak it. Learn it!!!! There's a reason why we have spanish in High School. Ha! Ha! Ha!

62. MEMO TO: Any number of U.S. citizens who are of the opinion that this is an American game intended for an American audience and that the NFL or the networks shouldn't accomodate a Mexican or Latino audience with a Spanish broadcast program.
I advise those same individuals to buy and maintain a controlling interest in the corporate sponsors or media interests that direct the marketing of the NFL, NBA and MLB to Latino nations and networks. Then vote out the Board of Directors who support the international marketing effort and replace them with directors who will keep the U.S. sports market exclusively all U.S.A. Now sit back and watch your portfolio balance slowly diminish, but you'll have your exclusively 'American' experience again, all to yourself. [Oh look, the Pie isn't big enough again for your piggy appetite]
Now you can go back to your reality TV, internet gaming and porn.

63. first yes this is America and that is why we can speak any language we choose you dumb rednecks. If this was England then your speak English argument would work. I was not offended and yes it has gotten out of control people can't say anything any more with out someone getting offended, but if Imus gets let go for saying what he said and jimmy gets let go for stating a fact about African Americans then Latinos deserve the same respect.

65. This is AMERICA for Christ Sake!!!!!!!! Build a wall like they have in China to keep the mexicans out. If you want to come to America, do it the right way. I don't understand why OUR way of life has to change to make life easier for mexicans.

People need to get off their HIGH horse when it comes to people making statements, comments, whatever. It's ok for mexicans to make comments (in a negative mannor) about Americans, it's ok for Black people to make racial comments about white people, but GOD for Bid that a WHITE person say one thing (about either race) and we are beatover the head for it.

If you are going to live in this country, learn and speak ENGLISH!!!!

68. Ok, why was that offensive? A commentator can make fun of his own lack of knowledge of another language? Man, the US is filled with a bunch of hypocrites... stupid people too...a lot!!!

70. This guy Kornheiser is a lousey and uninspiring announcer anyway. If this can be used to get him off the air MNF is far better off. Bring back Al Michaels and John Madden.

71. as aproud mexican american that i am, i don't find this offensive at, but for all the people who think this is america and we should only speak spanish. vayanse mucho a la fregada! and if u do not know what this means, then who has the upper hand here in america? Because we live here AND have the same rights as any other us citizen, that doesn"t mean u should be jealous that america has embraced our heritage and joins us in our MEXICAN celebrations. After all who cares?

72. Tony Kornheiser said nothing out of line. It was a lame and corny joke. He apologized because he smart enough to realize he should cover his butt and protect his job. What is really offensive is all the borderline racist comments posted here by all the "i hate all them no english speakers" losers on this web site. Latinos are a huge group in this country. Intelligent businesses, like the NFL, realize they can make more money by targeting this group. Nothing wrong with that. By the way what is wrong with being able to speak more than one language? Sounds stupid to be proud of only speaking one language. The world is bigger than your trailer park people!
