Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

... it's the day the Mexican people rose up and defeated the French army sent by Louis Napoleon III to prop up Maximilian Hapsburg as Emperor of Mexico. Benito Juarez was a major leader in the effort to kick the French out of Mexico.
The US wasn't able to intervene as per the Monroe Doctrine due to the Civil War. This Mexican Revolution succeeeded soon after the end of the American Civil War.
!Viva la Revolucion!
Actually, you are incorrect.
Mexico did win that battle. But they lost the war. Max became Emperor of Mexico. The Battle of Puebla can best be described as having the same effect on the Mexican populace as the Battle of Thermopylae had on Greeks. As in after both battles the populace rose up and drove out the foreigner.
It is celebrating the fifth of May, my good man... a day of beer and tacos!
lol.
I can never remember what it's supposed to be about... but I do know that it's a pretty quaint holiday and not widely celebrated in Mexico.
