I spent some time in Spain and was always called by the Spanish equivalent of my first name. Granted, there are other issues here, but it doesn’t strike me as outrageous. Maybe it’s the diminutive they’re so upset about.
Diminutives are often used in many other countries, like where I live, The Netherlands, and it’s no big deal. The hurricane comment might seem “off” but Milford IS benefiting from Jorge’s presence on the team.
In all reality , Wait until Cousin Bernardo and the Sharks show up at the Valentines Day post game sock hop MC ed by Marty Moon . There’s going to be trouble , hope Officer Krumpkie can protect Marty .
Karina Hartley, young Diane Sawyer, channeling her inner Patty Hearst, sleuthing and posing like a Charlie’s Angel. Marty has been a bit player since Holly Dobbs used him like a well worn panty liner. These two gals are hankering for a spanking. I nominate the guy with great tempo and technique, Coach Steve Boone.
The hurricane comment is of course beyond stupid, but I’m inclined to give Marty a break on the “Georgie Padilla” reference. In the USA even foreign-language names are usually given American-dialect pronunciations (e.g., newscasters refer to “Vladimir Putin” rather than “vlahd-EE-meer POO-tine”), and if Jorge does in fact speak with a Southern accent, as we have been told, then he may actually introduce himself as George Padilla (rhyming it with vanilla). In any case, he’s certainly accustomed to being called that when he was growing up in Georgia, and I seriously doubt he is offended by it. The “Georgie” rather than “George” is a bit bothersome, but high school sportscasters commonly take the liberty of using familiar forms of all the athletes’ names. (What’s Marty Moon’s real name? I forget.)
Politics and the grievance industry finally arrives in Milford. Activist using manufactured outrage to convince an unsuspecting soul that they should be offended but didn’t know it. No doubt followed by an assertion anything said you don’t like must be classified as bigotry. Yawn. Back to Calvin and Hobbes.

Panel 2: Yep, as I had commented before, Moon’s getting a fight with her game face like that! Marty will be hitting his flask pretty quickly.

And the big question is … Will Gil stop the ladies from taking down Moon or will he ask for a ringside seat?

P1, Well PP, Marty wasn’t all wrong. The hurricane did get you out of that sh!thole country. Of course, it doesn’t mean he should have broadcast it.
P2, And PP’s next technical foul will be on Marty.
P3, I wonder if that finger comes with a battery pack?

As the token libertarian, shouldn’t she be defending his right to do that?

“That radio guy”? These minor characters do not know the legendary Marti Moon?

Rumor is this was originally about Marti but at the last minute Burton changed the lyrics.
