Mexican, Spanish, Latino, Columbian or whatever country of origin you would like to reference is NOW the NEW African American.
Power in numbers prevails and common sense has taken a back seat to maybe-possibly affending some group that may cost us some potentail business or market share.
I've had it with all this sensitivity crap - this was no big deal and Greise apologized 2 times on air.
ESPN should now stand for ...Ethnic Sensitivity Program Network.

Political correctness is only for "white people" is doesn't apply for any other race. It is becoming a sad state of affairs in this country. It is going to hell in a hand basket, unless some people in leadership roles grow some balls and put a stop to all this. It is out of control. ESPN your one of the ones without balls.

I can not believe our country has gotten so touchy about such incidental remarks. You can bet it's a white management team that done that so they wouldn't be sued.The kast I knew, tacos were sold on the open market. Now if they had said he was smoking weed.....

When is anyone ever going to be reprimanded for equating arabs with terrorism? This is a total cave-in to the Spanish/Brazilian swarm of illegals.

Agreed. ENOUGH of the poliitcal sensitivity. This is a complete non-issue. At this rate I'm gonna start calling reverse discrimination..........gee, that would do everyone alot of good. This sort of political sensitivity needs to be stamped out and these whiny-sensitive types need to be held accountable. Enough already!!

Please, Please, So what, he may have been eating a taco, so what?,our American society needs to lighten up. I am an American, Third generation of latin decent (Spanish predominently and Mexican). I did not think twice of the comment. It seems like the darker your skin ethnicity the more the sensitivity issue. Our nation and society need to worry about many more prdominent social and national issues plaging our proud nation. ESPN I will no longer view you or patronize any of your sponsers. MY,AMERICA, please wake up and smell the Juan Valdez coffee beans! (does that make me racist?)

Someone needs to put a new bend on this story. I mean, from now on it's not worth beans unless someone puts in some manual labor and finds a new angle to run it across the border.

Does anyone know what freedom of speech means, out eating a Taco, you people at ESPN are something, Hey, here's something 90% of the NFL is Black why isn't it called the Black NFL or the NBA is probably 90% Black, why isn't call Black NBA League. Now they want more black coaches. Unbelievable. I'm white, call me anything you like, but who cares, I got a German background, call me "brat" who cares, or whitie, who cares. Next at your stupid board meetings look around and see who's on it.
HEY PEOPLE, WE DON'T CARE

Que es lo que esta pasando con la sociedad de hoy?
What's happening with todays society today?
All of this heightened stigma with names and comments, who cares what we are called anymore. I am a SPICKFROG(Part Puerto Rican and part French)it doesnt matter to me what you call me. Anger management people, that is the real problem? The media today is setting the tone for al of this intolerance to names that we have been calling eachother for years. So what if Montoya is called a Taco, or us hispanics for that matter, should people be fired for calling someone "Rice and Beans" or "Tostones" (a squished green banana delicacy) what about "Rice a Roni"? Should Asian people revolt if they are calle "Eggrolls or "Teriyaqui", should Italians be offended if you call them "Spaguetti" or "Linguini", GET OVER IT! ESPN publicly humiliates someone publicly because they feel that Montoya is going to be offended by the comment so to save themselves and to b

America is going overboard , when it comes to words. Does every single word , in Webster's , have racial overtones ?
I'm from the south. People in the south eat ton's of barbecue. If someone commented - that I was probably out eating ribs - they would probably be right !!
