Fake-Fat Sunny Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 As our buddy Rodney King once said, "Why can't we all just get along." it seems to me that there is more reason than ever for the NFL to do a game in Mexico and to work as hard as they can to sell their product to a Mexican audience. Clearly some sectors of the Mexican society and sports fans do not deserve human treatment (the folks who yelled Osana) but the sooner we use sports as a tool to build bridges (like PingPong was used in conjunction with Nixon going to China) rather than as an avenue for division then the sooner the types of folks who threw bags of urine will be defeated. Rather than taking our ball and going home with our tails between our legs after losing to Mexico in this soccer game, I think the intelligent move for us is to show them what the benefits of the American way of life can bring as reflected through the prism of the NFL. The NFL ain't perfect (thats for sure) but I think we can put on a good show and identify those parts of Mexican leadership and society that like parts of our leadership and society can meet the childhood goal of playing well together. The world is too interdependent (being it our ability to hurt each other with terrorism or weapons of mass destruction or our ability to help each other wih the huge market of workers and potential buyers in places like Mexico) for us to reasonably feel like we can merely retreat behind our borders. I for one do not want to see our country run out of town with bags of urine or chants or to see us waste our time trying to ignore or conquer other countries. The best and only choice I think we have is to share with them the good things we got (like the NFL) and identify the allies I suspect we have in other cultures. Just like in Iraq, whether you are a liberal or a conservative American we all are rooting for and need to work foreigner build the capacity to help and defend themselves. When we commit and succeed in helping them build their capacity it is them who will control the lesser elements of their society (and believe me, anyone who heard or witnessed NYers having intercourse with each other in the stands at the Ralph knows we all have lesser elements in our society- though I prefer the base behavior of having sex in public to the base behavior of throwing bags of urine anyday. Clearly they are both base behaviors but the urine throwing is so much worse). So I say lets take the NFL to Mexico and show 'em how to party hardy and hope that they learn to party hardy through sports as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I wonder what sort of chants actually surpasses the Osama ones. Also, the United States already schedules the home games in Colombus often. 288946[/snapback] I guess we could chant about how we took California from them right before we discovered a whole lotta gold there in 1848. But that doesn't make for much of a chant. Also, if some soccer player rolled up on me and told me he was planning on finding my mother and killing her, I'd probably find a way to kick the crap out of him on the field. These dudes fake injuries 10x a game anyway, so it wouldn't look that out of the ordinary. And I'd be sure to remind him that I'm from America and he's from Mexico which pretty much assures that no matter what he can do with a soccer ball, I'm better than him.

Just look at the Arizona border.

I sat there watching him yesterday and could not believe how much he looked like a whiney brat of a child stuck in the body of a 35 year old. Some of the American players started taunting him to take him out of his game and the guy ended up getting a yellow card not long after.....it was quite humorous.

aussiew Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 So I say lets take the NFL to Mexico and show 'em how to party hardy and hope that they learn to party hardy through sports as well. Perhaps we could play a Bills vs. Dolphins game down there so the Mexicans can see how much mature we are when we urinate on each others colors and walk around in front of each other's children with shirts that say "!@#$ the (Bills/Dolphins). Not that there's anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 with the exception of Brian Cox, I don't think we ever threw bags of urine or batteries or coins at dolphins players... like I said, excluding Brian Cox, I admit to nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viva America 289093[/snapback] Why would you want to frequent Tijuana? There are a lot of hardworking, good people in TJ but there truly are also a lot of dirtbags looking for non-Mexicans to kill, stab, jump, rob and extort (Policia). Spend your money, time, piss and spit on this side. TJ is a very dangerous and thankless experience. That is why so many TJ locals migrate legally and illegally to the North. The urine bag experience is not unique to Mexico. About two months ago, Mexico was playing in Costa Rica facing the same sort of projectiles. The fans in Costa Rica's stadium are much closer to the field which makes the problem even worse. I suppose a counter to the Osama chant would be Cortez. If it is worth it to anybody, taunt away. After 9/11, Mexico suffered greatly from the increased security and limited attention from the Bush administration as more serious issues took precedence. I don't know how funny that is for a Mexico that needs increased commerce and improved diplomacy between the US and Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
