But again we have no context so your post was still dumb.

Yes I was wrong to post the initial statement without a clear explanation, but I was on my phone at the time. But with the explanation I've provided, the original post makes clear sense.

Looks like Ramos is fit.

He knows his way round a big game that fella.

Well it doesn’t as we don’t know what said UK commentators said, do we?

Hala Madrid

So why not say it like that in the first place?

Just to cause grief.

Sorry I didn't explain myself here.

America as a country, has a HUGE latino population. They make up around 20-25% of our entire population, around 60 million people. Latinos are also football crazy and they make up a huge percentage of viewership of soccer games being broadcasted. So having a British/Irish commentator spew some nonsense and pissing off our major soccer fanbase is very stupid and dumb. Making jokes about latinos is fine in the UK/Europe because there are hardly any latinos in the UK or Europe in general, and Souness made a joke about latinos and nothing happened to him, I'm sure this idiotic Irish commentator was expecting the same here hence he made the joke.

A Russian can make racist jokes against Blacks in their own country because it's accepted over there, but if they come to the USA or even UK and make those same jokes, they would be rightfully vilified. Same logic here.

So now that I've explained myself, I hope people stop attacking me on here.

Still none the wiser.

I mean you hate the English, we get that, but other than that, no idea.

No, it isn’t.

We’re a civilised society and racist guff has no place here.

You said:

Irish/British commentators shouldn't be commentating on American channels, end of. They lack the cultural insight of the American audience.

Did you mean that Irish/British commentators shouldn't be commentating on American channels if they are going to make disparaging comments about Latinos, end of?

Well looking back at it, do you think hiring an Irish commentator was a wise business decision by CBS Sports? I think not. If it was an American commentator, they'd have more cultural awareness and wouldn't be making the same disparaging comments.

What are you talking about man? Isn't this commentator Irish anyways? Why you bringing "hatred" of English into this?

Why are you being racist to Irish people? Don't they deserve jobs?

 

[ForestBlue]

Which Irish commentator and what did they say?

Americans generally wet themselves over the Irish so I can see why they would hire the said commentator.
Nice to know that Americans never say or do anything to upset anyone.
