Beat me by 2 minutes. DRAT.

I stuck it in BoH as well in the last Yotes thread.

I can see why he does that, and it's his prerogative of course, but ideally you should have one fanbase, not two separate fanbases. I think. Not speaking the same language is the definition of not being a unity.

You're not having two separate fan bases. You're working to include more people from different demographics into your current fan base.

Oh, and also - just because someone's Hispanic doesn't automatically mean that they don't speak or understand English.

Yeah, I have obviously no idea what I'm talking about, as usual. Sorry.

Trying to appeal to Auston Matthews to
Come over when his contract is done. Nice move

Love it. So happy we are finally doing this!!!

Why aren't we pronounced "Los Yotays"? like "elotes" is pronounced?

I love, love, love that we are targeting this demographic here. I'm a bit confused on why exactly we need a "board" to do this. But whatever. Growing the market is exactly what they need to do.

Also, you don't have to speak any language to have a good time at a game or celebrate together. I don't see why that enters it as a "unity" item. Cheering, smiling, and raising a beer are all shared languages. You don't have to understand a word to have a good time Haha

Well, it does help to be able to speak.

Because the board members that they have are already deeply interconnected with other sporting and non-sporting Hispanic interests in the state. A couple of them - Chicanos Por La Causa, in particular - are trusted advocacy groups for Hispanic Arizonans that are very influential here in town. Univision is there, I'm almost positive, to work on getting Spanish-language game broadcasts going locally in town. Etc.

TL;DR, the Coyotes don't have the manpower to reinvent the wheel. This board makes it so they don't have to.

I would presume because Tucson is involved you’ll also see the Roadrunners involved along with it. It would make sense..... for once.

I, for one, would gladly watch a Spanish language broadcast over McConnel, Nash, and Walsh.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I can’t wait! I don’t speak Spanish. So finally I can hear the sounds of the game without hearing the stupid opinions of the idiots calling the game. AND NO TODD WALSH!!!

Hockey is for everyone. I’m glad the team is trying to extend the invitation to join the fan base.

 

[Schemp]

Muy bueno.
Vamos Kai-yotes!

 

[Prarievarg]

Callotes?

GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!

Great marketing angle for the team. The Los Yotes is a good start, loved the jerseys last night.
Wish I could snag a hat for the wife....she LOVES Day of the Dead stuff.

Advisory Board Action Item #1 - get 1,000 Los Yotes jerseys made and for sale. It’s only a practice jersey, but it’s pretty fricken cool.
