By the way. Cruz does his Salsa in honor of his grandmother----evern Carlos Rogers, who was irked by the dance, said yesterday that he has no problem with it after finding out its origins. Beyond that, as a REAL Jet fan, I would take that dude Cruz on my team tomorrow.

Somebody ought to tell him : "This isn't Telemundo, Victor. Do a *NORMAL* TD-Celebration for a change"

This isn't 'Dancing with the Stars'.
You're a ****ing idiot.

That's not exactly something to brag about, crash. I am not saying I was a saint but I'd like to think I have been a solid poster for the time I've been here. And I don't need someone(Sexi Rexi, rextilleon..) telling me off just 'cause I don't like something. As I've said ad nauseum, I'm allowed NOT to like something.

Just like those two are allowed NOT to like my posts but don't accuse me of being racist and making idiotic comments stating that I'm against Latinos playing in the NFL 'cause that's just as ABSURD as the majority of their posts.

Okay then. I apologize for having a different view than most. Can we move on?

I apologize to the mods for the personal attack but some things need to be said when moronic, ignorant things like the above quote are posted.

To quote a line from 10PennyToColes87 :

If you think there was legit racism in my post, you need to quit the internet.

Putting the overall quality of your posting aside (you brought that up, not me), you made a comment about not liking Cruz's - which is absolutely your right. Then you qualified that statement by making your Telemundo remark. So, the only thing one is left to take from your remarks is that it is Latino-related.

Not really a big deal and you may not have meant it that way, but you should at least be able to self-critque enough to realize you didn't simply say "I don't like the dance." Either you're being disingenuous, or you're daft. Maybe you expressed yourself poorly....or maybe you expressed yourself perfectly well. I have no idea either way.

Look, It was all just because I didn't like the dance. Now maybe I should've just left it at that but apparently it's Taboo to bring up Telemundo around here and had I known the sh*tstorm that would ensue, I would never have brought it up. What I put up was NEVER intended to be expressed in the light that some here view it as. No racism, Just a dislike for the dance he does. His Ethnicity/Race has ZERO to do with it.

This is madness.... People are happy that a great player is injured because of his endzone dance.

I wish to Holy Heaven that Cruz was on the Jets that is all I am going to say about this.....

Good Grief!!!

OK I am here now in this thread.

Due to my post count I will be deciding if that comment is racist and render a decision shortly.

Charlie, if Cruz was on the Jets, he would've either remained on the Practice Squad or cut. Let's be realistic here. The Jets don't know what the hell they're doing....

The only way I would take Cruz on this team is if there was a contract stipulation prohibiting him from doing the salsa in the endzone.

I agree 100%

I want the Jets to get another guy besides Tanny in here as a foot operations person. Let Tanny keep his title but bring someone in here who has a comprehensive understanding of how to build a winning foootball team!!

I slightly disagree.

I DEMOTE Tanny back to being the Bean-Counter he's good at being.

I'd bring in a REAL GM who KNOWS how to build a Football Team.

You guys know he does the Salsa dance in remembrance of his grandmother right? He used to do it for her when she was still alive.

I'm no Giants/Cruz fan, but the reasons why people hate and laugh at Jets fans is pretty evident in the comments in these posts.

^ Well then it's a good thing that only Pats trolls come here....since they constitute "people", I guess.
