Why broach ethnicity?
Tell me, what was the point of the headline "Latino trio add final zing" on the
front page of The Sunday Denver Post's Oct. 14 Sports section? I thought this
was a team and the victory was definitely a team effort.
Also, please tell me what the ramifications of a headline that read "Caucasian
trio add final zing" would be? Why was the ethnicity of the players brought to
light at all? It is just like the Post to be so biased.
When the efforts of Todd Helton or Matt Holliday, Brad Hawpe, Troy Tulowitzki or
any other great players on that team contribute to a victory and just play great
baseball, ethnicity is never mentioned.
The Post should get its act together; it's getting disgusting to read.

well if you saw it in the post then it was all about how wonderful all the illegals are here and see how they add to sports.
they had to use latino as mexican is not PC when getting a point across on illegals
Kathy, what do you expect from the Rocky Mountain Mexican News?

Of course, if the papers really wanted to talk about the true minority on the team, we'd be hearing about Kaz Matsui.

is one of the reasons I've dropped my subscription to the paper. The Post is becoming quite a bit like the Boulder Camera, and it is, indeed, disgusting to read.
