Jets' Sanchez may be NFL's key to opening Hispanic market Posted: Tuesday July 14, 2009 10:45AM; Updated: Tuesday July 14, 2009 12:26PM John P. Lopez > INSIDE THE NFL > http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?eref=T1
I dunno, Jerry Garcia's father was of Hispanic descent, but I never saw too many of them at any of the concerts I was at. Perhaps having a QB whose name ends in "z" will attract some superficial idiots who decide to root for a team because the QB's name ends in Z. A-holes. this country is fvcked.
Message to the NFL, it doesn't matter what color you are are your national background. Nobody can afford your crap anymore.
I thought Tony Romo was a 5th generation Mexican-American (I don't know how at that point you're not just American) and Sanchez was a 3rd generation Mexican-American? I don't even think I've heard Romo speak spanish. That would kinda help go well with the hispanic market, no?
Tony Romo: Hey folks, how are ya? My name is Tony Romo and I'm here to interest you in the game of football. Hispanic crowd: Futbol?! Tony Romo: No. Not futbol. Football. As in (pulls out football) football. It's a very interesting sport which I think everyone will like. It's got a lot of running, a lot of passing and hard hitting action you won't wanna miss. Hispanic crowd: ...que?
i was kidding but sanchez isn't "hispanic" enough to get hispanic people to watch lol sorry to say but to traditional hispanics he is going to look like A-rod...aka a sellout
?En serio? Hay un poco interesante en latino america con futb?l americano, pero no es suficiente. Por ejemplo, personas aqu? en Guatemala les gustan baloncesto, pero todos los personas no conocen Lebron James, solo Michael Jordan. Pues, el problemo es no hay partidos de futb?l americano (o baloncesto) en latino america. Beisbol es popular, porque hay personas de diferentes pa?ses de latino america.
I know, I was waiting to see a response on that one......but do you think that a California kid named Sanchez will have that big of an effect?
You'd think after 5 years it would learn how to post a link. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/john_lopez/07/13/Sanchez/index.html
The play the ESPN games here, but there really isn't any interest. Maybe Sanchez could open the market, but he is not an immigrant and can't fluently speak the language. Possibly with Hispanics currently in the United States, this might make a difference.
A hispanic star at the QB position will absolutely make a difference. If he lives up to his hype and is a star QB in NY there's no doubt it will open things up. He did it in LA at USC so if he performs I have little doubt he'll do even bigger things at the pro level. He will make NFL football a popular sport the way Beckham mania made soccer a big sport in the US.... oops, well I think he'll do a much better job than Beckham.:grin:
What the hell is a "traditional hispanic"? And how is getting drafted to an NFL team being a sell-out?
