Way to go Mark! I do believe in being a patriot of this great country. I served in the Marine Corps to do my part as a patriot. I am a little surprised at all the haters out there. This is a country that was built up of many different races. With that comes the pride of where their heritage is from. There is nothing wrong with that. I wonder what bothers these people more; the fact that he wanted to show pride in his roots or the fact that he is Mexican American and is successful in what he does.
If you really want to make a statement about being proud of our country, seek out your closes recruiting station and sign up or go and volunteer at your local USO/VA. If your talking about having pride in this country and have not done a thing to show your pride, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

SO IF THERE WAS AN AMERICAN CANADIAN WEARING A MOUTH PIECE WITH A CANADA FLAG ON IT, OR AN IRISH WEARING A GREEN/WHITE/ORANGE MOUTH PIECE, YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU WOULD WRITE THIS SAME PARAGRAPH ABOUT THEM??? BULLSHIT, YOU WOULD LET IT SLIDE JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COLOR. YOU SAY YOU WOULDN’T, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU WOULDN’T SAY A DAMN THING! IF YOU’RE RACIST, THAT’S COOL, JUST DON’T BE TRYING TO FIND EVERY WRONG MISTAKE ON A YOUNG HISPANIC MALE COMING FROM NOTHING! CONGRATULATE HIM FOR DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE THEN BECOMING A DRUG DEALER OR GANG MEMBER OR EVEN DEAD! UNDERAGE DRINKING?? MOST MOVIES I SEE THAT INVOLVE UNDERAGE DRINKING ARE CAUCASIAN MALES AND FEMALES, AND IN REALITY AS WELL. WHO INVENTED BEER PONG? KEG STANDS? ETC. ALMOST EVERYONE HAS COMMITTED UNDERAGE DRINKING, IT’S NOT A POSITIVE THING, BUT MOST PEOPLE ON HERE HAVE DONE IT! ALSO, NO ONE SAYS A THING ABOUT REBEL/CONFEDERATE FLAGS?? THE DAY YOU ALL ADDRESS BOTH THE CONFEDERATE AND MEXICAN FLAG ISSUE @ THE SAME TIME, I’LL LISTEN, UNTIL THEN. SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Yes this is America, the land of the free, right? So if you feel like wearing a Mexican mouthpiece then you are free to do so. If you want to display another nation’s flag b/c you are proud of your ancestry then you are free to do so. It does not make you any less of an American. A real American stands behind the values of liberty and freedom of expression. I do wish SOME ignorant people would leave America though.

Yes Juan, it would be great if every country in the world had a football.

This is not the United States of Ireland nor of Mexico or Africa or Taiwan.
This is America made up of a myriad of different ethnic groups. If you want to display a flag of your nation and that nation’s society, then by all means, go live in that nation. Otherwise, display the flag of the nation you live in currently and embrace the tenets of that nation.

America FIRST. Love it or leave it.

I am also an American with a Mexican heritage. I applauded Marks use of the Mexican flag mouthpiece. I wish there were more examples of Mexican-American figures just like Mark Sanchez. I don’t understand why people get so upset about this. What’s wrong with showing some heritage pride? Many Mexican-Americans are constantly looking for figures they can relate to like this. This not only encourages people in our country but outside folks to. Wouldn’t it be great if every country in the world had a football? Would it be nice to see countries face each other in a game of football?

Last time I checked wearing a custom
mouthpiece isn’t enough to renounce someone’s citizenship. No one I know calls themselves Mexican-American but instead Mexican including yours truly. It is like someone referring themselves as Chinese-Asian. Just a little geography lesson for all of you there are about 35 countries in America.

That being said as a Bruin fan I hope Sanchez losses every game he plays in except when SC plays Notre Damn.

JUST TYPICAL OF SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT RACIST, TO POINT OUT THAT MARK SANCHEZ DID NOT REFER TO HIMSELF AS A “MEXICAN- AMERICAN”. DID YOU EVER THINK THAT MAYBE HIS AMERICAN PRIDE WENT OUT THE DOOR THE MINUTE HE WAS REFERRED OR CALLED BY ANY OTHER NAMES OTHER THAN A FINE QUARTERBACK. HIS NAME OR ETHNICITY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. AND BELIEVE ME THIS MEXICAN-AMERICAN IS BEHIND MARK ALL THE WAY AND IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHERE I CAN BUY A MARK SANCHEZ JERSEY PLS LET ME KNOW..

Jason,

I will not follow the traditional line of defense against a ridiculous charge of racism.

Instead, we are all going to come after you with the shears, because you deserve to be castrated if you cannot discern nationalism from racism, and you certainly know nothing about me or JS.

Also, you show your ignorance by not even making a post using good grammar. Check a dictionary for the plural of “ignoramus”.

Wise up and get used to singing soprano.
