So I stumbled upon the following blog post by some person named **** ****** who goes under the screen name NDfan2007. Now, I am usually not Mr. PC Sensitive, but this post to me was a bit disturbing. Sure, it is there are hints in it that let us all know he doesn't much care for anything spanish, and I quote:
"ITS SPORTSCENTER AND IT'S IN ENGLISH AND I DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT SPANISH ANYTHING!"
I was a little perturbed, but hey sometimes people just don't like certain things. Somethings I don't like: Spinach, the show Murder She Wrote, hangovers, when my team loses, and in general anything that gets in my way of watching football on Sunday. I decided to read on.
"And remember, I'm Michaella Jaun-Ricardo LaFountaine Rodriguez McBeaner Pants and this has been your ESPN Deportes Update."
Now in case anyone is wondering what a "Beaner" is, it's kind of like calling someone of African decent the N word. Being of Latino origin myself I was a bit offended by this, but even more intriqueing was the fact that some fellow FanNation peeps actually supported this rant. My question to you: Is there really any room for this on FanNation? Do any other Notre Dame fans want this person representing them?
Ironically the star of our racists rant had the balls to actually try to call out another fellow FN member for having a picture of a bikini clad female as their icon. Writing something to the effect that "this type of immaturity" has no place on FanNation. I had a good chuckle when the member with the bikini icon reminded our star that the biggest selling issue of SI year in and year out was........ the swimsuit issue!

Actually, that is a good point that I didn't consider. Great point Clayton.
"Behind my back"? Dude, it's the internet, but I get where you are going with that. My question is how is it behind your back when I just posted it for you and the thousand of other people on this site?

funny that this is such a devisive issue. the racist thing is totally different than the bikini thing. the racist issue is wrong but im sure NDfan2007 didnt mean any real harm. the bikini issue is a non issue. not a big deal

ballplayr, point well taken. I was simply pointing out the irony of him getting on his high horse. I concede on your point.

With idiots like Dave Chapelle and Carlos Mencia on tv, this crap has become commonplace. It sucks.

Now it is seen as "humorous" when really it is offensive.
