The deadly violence that has taken a nasty hold on Juárez has caused Sun Bowl officials to cancel a long-standing tradition of taking representatives from teams in the annual classic to visit that city.
And officials say the practice may never resume.
“We just think it’s not safe” to travel to Juárez, said Sun Bowl President John Folmer. “We used to take them over for bullfights, but, we’re still going to do everything we can to help them experience the culture.
“But what a tremendous disappointment it would be if something happened to one of our guests,” he said…
Juárez has been in the grip of a drug cartel war that has been responsible for many of the city’s 1,300 homicides since January.
I love the part where Juarez officials say the shooters try not to kill tourists. That’s reassuring.
Yea, and the evidence piles up into mountains that “just saying no” to drugs is undermining entire societies.
Stupid morality police. Why do good white protestants continue to act like the Muslims or the Taliban????????
FREEDOM—other people doing what you don’t like.

Have you had too much holiday nog? WTF does this story have to do with “good white protestants”?
And your racist generalization about Muslims doesn’t go un-noticed. Christ, you Atheist adherents are so intolerant! Shed that dogma! Open your eyes!
Mustard–I do keep my dog in a shed. He howls, but speciest that I am, he’s not called “outside dog” for nothing.
But you ask: “WTF does this story have to do with “good white protestants”?” /// Well, every police chief and every politician I see touting the necessity to keep drugs illegal are all white protestants.
Every time I discuss the subject with friends, the blacks, yellows, and browns all say drugs should be legal. Now, a few of my white friends who think drugs should be illegal are catholic, but they are a small minority==being catholic that is.
So, in general, I am talking about this country, the GOUSA, and its still fair to call it a “white protestant society” and quite backward as a result.
Or do you think drugs should remain illegal with all the problems directly and only related to that illegal status?
No Bobbolina, I don’t think drugs should remain illegal. And neither do most of my honkey friends.
You gotta stop hanging around with those rednecks. Their racist ways are rubbing off on you.
Mustard, except for guns and religion, you are a good liberal. I forgive you.
Mexico = large, crime ridden, stinky toilet. No wonder their people can’t wait to get the fuck out there.
After being let go by a big corporation here in the US I am now looking for an open position as a Assistant Funeral Director only 8 miles from my home, just one boarder crossing away. Booming business.
Maybe this partially explains Canada’s drop in tourism.
