Ok.. Well, not really. But I do know this.. Cinco de Mayo is a MINOR holiday in Mexico.. And according to few Mexicans I met (Mexicans that lived no where NEAR any of the tourist areas), they told me most Mexicans don't even celebrate it down there. They said we make a MUCH bigger deal out of it here. Wait.. You telling me that it's yet another commercialized 'holiday'?! NO WAY!!

Anyway, why do I bring this up? Because apparently wearing American flag apparel on May 5th in California schools is incendiary. Really? What's incendiary is telling me to not wear my nation's flag and colors. You want a broken jaw? Then try to tell me what I can and cannot wear. IronMan said it.. The pussification of America.

And I'm disgusted with it and it's supporters.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

We have become a nation of hyper-sensitive pussies. I would hate to be a woman and have to choose from this growing tribe of spineless half-men for a spouse.

Only in modern America do we punish our rsidents for celebrating their nation in a completely peaceful, non-confrontational way.

Dang it. Wish I knew this yesterday.

OK, from now on, I wear a big ass American flag on my clothing on May 5th. I suggest we all do it.

I'd rather not. Sorry.

Although it would be somewhat appropriate, as the 5th of May is liberation day over here.

Wearing a shirt with an American flag? I very much doubt that.

People aren't that high on patriotic colors over here. Then again, orange isn't that flattering a color.

People aren't crazy about America, either. Not like hatred, or anything, but they don't see the US as the place to be or so.

There's just one time when everyone gets completely crazy and that's during the WC. Wherever you go, anything and everythign will be orange.

And if I do go to the States, I'll ride this "cute" foreigner and this accent as much as I can. For as far as a Dutch accent is anything good. Lol.

ya thats totally fucked up formo - I remember a huge march way back when one of the candidates or something (cant remember) was going to do something about the whole immigration thing ... had all these mexicans wearing their colors and their flag - and then the leaders told them not to do that anymore because it looks wierd that they want to be here in the states yet still wearing the flag etc ...
I just find that humorous

From now on Im wearing red white and blue on may 5th ..,

The only thing Cinco de Mayo says to me is that it is time to chase Quervo shots with Corona. I take about as much offense to someone wearing their country's flag in America as I do Formo and VR putting on those stupid Heidi braids while munching down a steaming plate of lutefisk.

America isn't being pussified, it just happens to be full of pussies who have to make a big deal out of nothing.

And also putting on an American flag for a shirt doesn't make you Patriotic, it signals that you lack tact and fashion sense. A real patriot knows his American history, does what he can to make his community stronger, pays his taxes without whining like a bitch, and prays for and supports his leaders - whether he voted for them or not.

If we were to celebrate Whitie Day, we'd be racist.

I wonder if we can have White History month?

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
