Don't Worry, Mexico Will Pay for It

Keep wondering, what else is Mexico going to pay for, besides the wall?

The NFL wants to play a preseason game in Mexico City. Who’s going to pay for it?

• ·        Mexico.

The NFL wants to play one, maybe two or more regular-season games in Mexico City. Who’s going to pay for it?

• ·        Mexico.

The NFL wants Pink Floyd to perform “The Wall,” (even though those guys hate each other) at halftime of next year’s Super Bowl (in Mexico?). Who’s going to pay for the performance of “The Wall?”

• ·        Who do you think?

The Steelers want to rebuild a likeness of their “Steel Curtain” championship defenses and get back to the Super Bowl. Who’s going to pay to rebuild that Hall-of-Fame wall?

• ·        Mexico?

Donald Trump was in San Diego last week, examining prototypes for the ‘Wall’ to keep what he called those drug-dealing, murderous rapists out of the United States.

• ·        No wonder the Chargers moved all the way up north to Los Angeles.

In Major League Baseball, it’s guys like Fabricio Macias, who are the future of and carry the burden of the past hitters of all those homers for fans everywhere. So who should be paying their salaries?

• ·        You had to ask?

And if Pink Floyd won’t regroup to play “The Wall” at the Super Bowl, how about getting Santana and his band to perform at halftime of SB LIII? They are touring this year.

• ·        And get you know who to pay for it.

The point is, it’s time for Donald Trump to stop talking about building a wall that no one is going to pay for, not even we taxpayers, let alone Mexico. 

The NFL could probably afford to pay cash and build the wall Trump has proposed, and promised, but the optics of that wouldn’t play well for a league that has promoted heavily in and directly to an audience in Mexico.

Let’s knock down the wall separating the quality of Mexican futbol from American futbol. And let’s forget about the wall Trump wanted Mexico to pay for and have a look at the other side of the wall Robert Mueller is trying to break through.

Let’s stop insulting Mexicans and start embracing all the immigrants who built the foundation upon which our country rests. I don’t remember that including a wall to keep anybody out.
