NFL ÑFL? Really, NFL? (1 Viewer)

I wonder who was the genius who thought making the N in NFL an Ñ to celebrate Hispanic Month pander to Spanish speakers was a good idea. It makes no freaking sense,

Nothing surprises me anymore, we're living in Orwell's '2+2=5' world now...

Yep that is pandering at its finest.

I don't understand why this is offensive to you guys in the slightest. God forbid people of other cultures enjoy the sport I guess. Also, see attached.

I missed the part where anyone said they were offended. The OP clearly stated he didn't appreciate the blatant pandering. Disagree with that if you want.

I guess now we're gonna argue the semantics of to what degree not appreciating something becomes being offended. I would say that line is right around making a post in a Saints related forum over it.

OP is part of the ‘other culture’

 

[SaintAardvark]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, but culture encompasses a lot of things including primary language. The OP is clearly hostile towards the idea of "pandering to Spanish speakers." It's not denigrating to English speakers for the NFL give a little shout out to other folks who speak a different language. Growing the game beyond our borders is a good thing. Acknowledging different aspects of fandom is also a good thing.
Edit: Responding to guidomerkinsrules, can't get this quoting to work properly on my phone lol.

Not to speak for OP - you will soon learn that OP is capable of speaking for himself (some would argue over speaking for himself)
But I’m fairly certain his issue is not with nfl simply reaching out to ‘other cultures’ but to do so in such an ungrammatical, nonsensical way
Please prepare yourself for a multi paragraph explanation about Spanish diacritical marks from OP)

 

[Optimus Prime]

Like when the NBA does Los Suns and can’t even be bothered to use Soles

It feels like it’s either a bit pandering or literally the least they can do

 

[kennydfresh]

Come on dog, you got me over thinking the NFL finally suspended Deonte Harris. I'm over here having a panic attack opening the thread with one eye open.

 

[SaintAardvark]

Truthfully I was hoping the beef would be with diacritics, but that wasn't stated AT ALL in OP. If that was what he meant, then forgive me. The post read, at least to me, like it was more directed at the idea of "pandering to Spanish speakers" than incorrect grammar.

Perhaps, the NFL find Hispanic $$$$ are as green and spend well as english speaking $$$, if they only knew. America has to be the only country in the world, where people who are bilingual are looked down on. And inclusion is considered "pandering." There was a time when, no one spoke English in New Orleans. There were a time when many thought "french speaking creoles/cajuns " were being "pandered, to when they had a mass influx of English speaking citizens. We know what's going on here, it's not a Language problem.

Then there was this:

NFL says 'Football is gay' in new commercial that makes clear its support of LGBTQ+ community

A week after Carl Nassib publicly came out, the NFL released a new commercial, "Football is gay," showing support of the LGBTQ+ community.
