I totally agree with Hammett. He still did the right thing by apologizing at the end to show class but to get suspended for that BS is total crap. I mean I can think for instance of a school like Nebraska, they are often nicknamed the "Children of the corn" Thats a bit of a stereotype but nobody ever gets offended by that, and they shouldnt either
Juan Pablo Montoya is Colombian. I am Colombian too. We EAT Tacos, Chicken, Pasta etc... It was not Racist AT ALL. The only racist is the one who forced Griese to apologize and suspended him. I am sorry Bob Griese... but your BOSS is an asshole.
later he gave a nice apology..regardless, he meant no harm and I dont believe it was a racist statement...what if he'd have said montoya was probably smoking a cigar? Would THAT have been a racist remark since Columbia is known for having great cigars? It is well known that Mexicans love Mexican food...who cares? Americans love pizza and burgers...would it be racist to say that Jeff Gordon was out eating a burger? This is really DUMB...get over it and get on with it...
The apology IS sufficient and was never necessary in the first place. Grow up America! It was a joke. The sensitivity of our people is sickening. Does Mr. Griese need a public spanking to appease the PC crowd?
i didnt know saying some hispanic dude went to eat a taco was racist!!!!......wat about burrito??? is dat racist too???....whoever said its racist its a fucking idiot
I'm Hispanic and I thought Bob Griese's comment was quite funny. The joke didn't make sense, cause Montoya is Colombian and tacos are a Mexican dish, but still it was pretty funny. The real issue is people automatically group all Hispanics into one group and assume we're all Mexican, with brown skin and dark eyes. Quite the contrary, Hispanics can be white, black, brown, and even Asian. The issue is a lack of education on most people's parts to recognize that.
Bob Griesy owns a chain of Taco Bells, he was just trying to plug his bussines for the sake of his emplyoees and the economy. He is kinda like a new version of the Chiuahua. Givem a break
This is an absolute travesty to this country. You can't even make a joke anymore without some loons crying like bitches. I'm Italian so should I be offended if someone asked if I was out having a pizza? What a fucking joke, these announces have to watch every little thing they say because some idiots might be offended.
I think president Obama should invite Bob and Juan Pablo to the White House to drink a beer and shake hands; maybe even have some chips and pretzels to snack on...but no taco's though (LOL).
Nobody cares that you are not offended or that you like tacos.
