George "Macaca" Allen: In sports, ‘you don’t care about race.’

By GottaLaff

Yes, that George Allen: He spoke on-- wait for it-- "The Future of Hispanics in the GOP".

Allen [...] was trying to make the case on why Republicans need to be more tolerant on immigration. Dave Weigel captured some of Allen’s remarks:

I grew up in a football family. In sports, what you have is a level playing field…you don’t care about race, all you care about is who can help you win. Team America has to have that same competitive spirit!

People at the event also joked that Allen was an “honorary” Hispanic.

Feel free to reminisce in Comments.
