El Equipo de Latinos
The Reconquista has extended all the way to Shea Stadium under New York Mets GM Omar Minaya. Even ESPN has noticed it:
Nearly five years ago, when Jose Reyes debuted as New York's spark plug of the future, fans were excited. When, nearly three years ago, the Mets added Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez, fans were elated. When, however, Minaya added Perez and Chavez and Valentin and Ambiorix Burgos and Orlando Hernandez and Eli Marrero and Julio Franco and Ricky Ledee and Jose Lima and Sandy Alomar Jr. and Jorge Julio and Duaner Sanchez and Geremi Gonzalez and Miguel Cairo and Jorge Sosa and Ramon Castro and Luis Castillo and Jose Offerman and Carlos Delgado and Ruben Gotay and Guillermo Mota and Moises Alou and … well, the bloom is off the rose.
Wrote one blogger: "I've been a Mets fan since I saw them win in '69 and I have to say, I've never seen such blatant racism in baseball in the last 40 years."
Typically, Minaya responds to accusations of racism by accusing his accusers:
I just see that as people that are uncomfortable with the fact that there's a Hispanic in a position of authority.
Alberto Gonzales should have used that one. Maybe the moonbat media wouldn't be falsely referring to him as the "disgraced" former attorney general.
It's certainly true that a lot of baseball talent is Hispanic. But a lot of it isn't. If Minaya kept this in mind, he might build a team less susceptible to spectacular collapses like Mets fans saw last year.
On a tip from Wiggins.

They should just change the teams name to the New York Mex and be done with it.

Yes, its come to that hasn't it. There are examples of this in every, what was once, white and clearly identified western country. There are soccer teams in the UK with barely a UK representative and so on and so on. All in all, the need to pander to and care for everyone else in this world has left us not giving a shit about each other - Same trend in the US, UK, Sweden, Germany, France and more. Only the Med People in Europe haven't totally lost it, yet?! I think it is pretty sad that your NY Mets is a Hispanic Team as opposed to having Hispanic Representatives - The whole equal opportunities thing has gone too far. Its like National Suicides going on. I'll do ver one of my own, before any newcomer mentality. In the Post War period we've done more to throw away what our Fathers, Grandfathers and previous Generations built up than ever before. Yeah, keep destroying your own whay don't you?!?!?!

Basketball is the black sport
Baseball is the hispanic sport
Hockey is the white sport
Football is more mixed but is slowly becoming a black sport evidenced by the shortage of quarterbacks (most are white for some reason)

Ahh, the true colors of the right get exposed on this one.. Why can't you people be more honest and open regarding your disgust for other races? You hide and hide and hide, but it takes a story about sports for the ugly underbelly, the core values of the right to be exposed.
See we all know what you are REALLY all about.
Hey Patrick, maybe Hispanic players are just better at baseball. What's the problem?
And hey Anon, more and more blacks are playing in the NHL these days...I'm assuming you have a problem with that.
