Yes one of my favorites also, I’ve watched a couple of series in it and quite like it!

So I read this and with the examples given are not new as I myself have heard people talking like this in South Texas, it’s called Tejano English or sometimes Chicano English, which has to be quite old at this point.
They’re maybe some specifics to Miami that are unique but the examples given in the article are not.

I guess not to further muddy the waters but saying Gallego and Catalan come from Castellano is extremely problematic (though people do this, it’s still difficult to square factually)
They all come from Vulgar Latin and depending on how you split it but Portuguese and Gallego come from a common ancestor and one has an easier time understanding Gallego if one speaks Portuguese than if one speaks only Spanish and Catalan would be a post until itself once we start discussing Occitan and Valencian, but it’s also not descended from Spanish (Gallo-Romance)
TLDR I really wish people would stop according Castellano as an official language and a bunch of languages that are as older or older than Castellano as some dialect descending from Castellano.

Because they’re following a team in a league and they’re interested in the scores of competing clubs, so they know the chances of their team a title etc. It’s not unusual during tight title competitions to be watching your team play some crucial game.. and everyone explodes in joy in the stadium, because some other team playing another game in another city lost.
* Also betting
* also oddball interesting games that you may not have the time to watch
* also once upon a time this is how you followed sports, you maybe saw 1-2 games a week and the rest was in the newspaper.
