I was watching some of ECW last night. And when Estrada was wrestling. One of the announcers said something like, If he doesnt win, hes going to find himself infront of the hardware store with the rest waiting for work or something of the sorts.
I cant recall it perfectly cause I was trying to get the babies to sleep. But I know I was pretty offended because they seemed to be referring to Estradas race and stereotyping latinos.

Anyone got the direct quote that was said?
And anyone else catch it as being offensive?

Yeah I heard that, Striker obviously hates Cubans.

Still, best not to take it to heart, buddy, Striker's not going to get as far as Estrada anyway.

I wouldn't take it offensively, and besides - anything that could possibly offend is good in my opinion whilst we're in the PG era.

Striker > Estrada

I don't think it was meant to be offensive, because I remember reading somewhere that Estrada was supposed to leave ECW if he had lost that match. Sure didn't make a big deal about it on TV though.

I sounds offensive to Mexicans not Latinos.

I am hispanic and I do not find this offensive. It was just meant to be a joke nothing else.

**HGF** · 08-06-2008, 03:48 PM

Minor jokes like that aren't offensive in my opinion.

Racism in commentary = awesome (in a humorous way of course)
