Tony The K and MNF
By Palumbo | September 17, 2008
I just read that Tony Kornheiser was spanked for saying something un-pc during the Monday Night NFL game. What he said was - as we were being treated to the Latino announcers snippet after a (gasp) Dallas return for a touchdown - “I took high school Spanish. He either said, they are not gonna catch me, or my laundry is ready.” Okay. If the Dallas guy was Asian, I would probably have to say, “Well Tony, that aint right.” Funny, but not prime time fodder. What is most irritating about this is that once again, we are being force fed globilization - even during a friggin football game! I don’t WANT to hear the Spanish equivalent to John Madden!!!!!! I don’t WANT to be choked on the fact that Latino’s are watching football. I don’t want to see an NFL commercial in friggin Spanish!!!!!!!!! Show me a cheerleader long shot, a tribute to Jim Brown, even the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest. Stop it! We are NOT MEANT TO CO-MINGLE IN GLORIOUS HARMONY!!!! This globilization crap is promoting hate. American Express has a commercial showing some Germans snickering at an American cause he lays down a credit card with a picture of The Flash. SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. They don’t get it. And they SHOULDN’T! As a white American in Jamaica, I freaked the first time I saw traffic cops holding machine guns! I didn’t get it, and I shouldn’t have to!!!!!! Cultures are unique. Beautiful in our variety, and wonderous in our differences. Yet, some crew of morons has decided that it’s not enough to get along in an humanistic, peaceful way… but we need to be one big world family! NO NO and NO! Michael Jackson promoted that, and we know where that little weasle perv ended up! You want to We-Are-The-World???… go build houses in New Orleans. Go work the Special Olympics. Go into DC and feed all the rows of people living in boxes right along the MAll.
AS for Tony K, you can make a pizza, spaghetti bender, mafia, silk suit, greaseball reference to this Italian, and I will laugh with you. (Although, I prefer Madden and Michaels!)

Implying that different cultures should NOT co-mingle is equally as bad as saying they SHOULD co-mingle. Why not leave it to fate or to the relevant cultures to decide instead of “forcing” the issue either way. Compensating for a too far left position is not best accomplished by pushing as far to the right as possible. Live and let live might be a better solution.
On another not, I am reminded of my favorite MNF moment….”Look at that little monkey run”. HA!

Howard Cosell! I remember my dad hearing that comment and calling the network to complain.
