    As a plus, Poly's are both a racial and a geographic group all in one so you can probably poont to them and say they are genetically strong mother fuckers. #polystrawng

    If you look at demographics the future of football depends on Hispanic players and fans. I work with second generation young women whose parents came here in the 80's. Soccer is still king.

    There is an interesting doc that has been on HBO the last couple of years about the Latin Explosion in entertainment in America. We will need something similar in sports. Hispanics will pass whites as the majority this century. And no, I don't give a shit or care or feel threatened.

    I just want Husky Football to survive

    Anyway in the early 60's Jose Jiminez as a bell hop was pretty much the extent of Latin entertainment mainstream and of course Ricky Ricardo. Now it is as influential as all the Black culture we? stole.

    @RaceBannon At least in Southern California Football is hugely popular with Hispanics(that I know). Da Raiders are still well loved and from those I know most are excited about the Vegas move(bc who wants to travel to Oakland for a game?). There's also a socio-economic component. If you are wearing a Chargers jersey instead of a Cruz Azul jersey then you've obviously got some real income to be a "futbol americano" fan.

    The only kids who played soccer in high-school instead of football were rich white kids with names like Tyler, Blake, Xander, Garret, and Chase. The only Hispanic guys who didn't play football were the ones who were good baseball players. All other sports weren't happening.

    In Mexico they have college football teams. It's starting to become huge in the hispanic community.
