    Thanks Marcus Allen. I've been there many times kid, and there is no reason for any "Heritage day" or any other "Celebrate a Race" day. It's just stupid.

    Why the hell not? Better than Cinco de Mayo or some garbage like that. Hispanics don't even celebrate Cinco de mayo.

    You are embracing a minority segment of your fans. Nothing wrong with that.

    It's not my team, so props I guess on the High School pom pom team McNair owns. I'm not going into the D&D again today. I've already showered.

    "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM" HAHAHA, So funny!

    No **** it's a marketing ploy! Everything the NFL does is a marketing ploy.

    Ask the Rodeo how Hispanic Heritage Day works out for them. Like it or not, Longhornfan, many if not most Texans enjoy celebrating our shared heritage, "it's a cultural thing" as REK said.

    Agree with you, ima, the game itself should be enough to get everyone excited.

    This is false as you had it intended, but true as you stated it.

    Uhhh, this has been going for years, mister discrimination. What's the problem? Why the " :rolleyes: "? Is this the first time you hear about us becoming a majority in the next few years? That's when it will no longer be celebrated because we would have taken over already. :p Don't be jelly.

    Oh, yeah, FYI, the Styxx forum is about to have a brother BRONCO forum... it's going to be hidden from all LonghornFans alike.

    Black History Month says hello.

    Homecoming is about the only theme I have a problem with. Why put it vs. the Pats? Zzzz

    What would you say if they changed White Out day to Whites Heritage Day?

    It's simply this. Why do people insist on reading more into things than what's actually there? Just to have something to b**** about? That's ESPN's job.

    I take this whole thing as a compliment that ESPN is making such a small thing and blowing it up.

    It means the Texans have finally become relevant enough that they feel the need to talk about us during the offseason.

    The last time (and only time) was in 2010 and we are 1-4 all time including this heartbreaker.
