  Gazzetta dello Sport - Speedy Gonzalez, Palermo vola
Gonzalez, poi, è l'autentico mattatore dell'incontro: l'argentino mette lo zampino in tutti e 3 i gol, nell'1-0 con la rete personale, negli altri due, come assaltatore per le marcature dei compagni.
I primi minuti sono scoppiettanti: il Palermo si vede subito dopo pochi secondi con Di Michele che servito benissimo con un lancio in profondità si incunea fra i centrali biancocelesti e prova a sorprendere una difesa della Lazio che pare ancora negli spogliatoi.
Papadopulo rende i giusti onori a Gonzalez e Caracciolo con due sostituzioni da standiing ovation, e la Lazio rende meno amaro il bilancio con il gol dell'1-3 siglato da Belleri al 84'.

  Encyclopedia: Speedy Gonzalez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Speedy Gonzalez is a cartoon mouse from the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons.
This early Speedy was a meaner, rattier creation, and it would be two years before Friz Freleng and animator Hawley Pratt redesigned the character into his modern incarnation for the 1955 Freleng short, "Speedy Gonzales." The cartoon features Sylvester the cat menacing a group of mice.
However, fan campaigns to put Speedy back on the air, as well as lobbying by The League of United Latin American Citizens, who argued that Speedy's cleverness and personality was a positive depiction of Mexicans, turned the tide in his favor, and in 2002, "the fastest mouse in all Mexico" was put back into rotation.

Speedy is portrayed as a Mexican speedster mouse that wears a sombrero and speaks with a distinct Mexican accent.
Speedy’s character began on the Warner Brother’s cartoon series Cat-Tails for Two in 1953, but the cartoon was soon changed to Speedy Gonzales in 1955 due to his re-designed character (Markstein).
Even though Speedy is considered a trickster by definition of the characteristics that William J. Hynes provides, he is acknowledged for his positive qualities of helping others and using his trickster abilities other than for his own personal advantage.

 Speedy Gonzalez Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Speedy Gonzales (or González), "the fastest mouse in all Mexico", is an animated cartoon mouse from the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series of cartoons.
In the 1960s, Speedy's main nemesis became Daffy Duck--a move which some fans consider an unusual combination (Sylvester's appropriateness, being a cat, was never questioned) and as depicting the already morally ambiguous duck as excessively malicious.
Mice in the shorts are usually shown as lazy, womanizing and hard-drinking while Speedy wears a huge sombrero and sometimes plays in a mariachi band (although Speedy's only real vice is implied to be a weakness for pretty girls).

 Matthew Hunter's Unofficial Speedy Gonzales Page
Speedy himself is never seen smoking, and only two cartoons show characters consuming alcohol, and in both of these Speedy cuts them off and, in one, the Academy Award-nominated Robert McKimson classic, "Tabasco Road", escorts them home.
The Speedy cartoons were directed exclusively by Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson until 1965 (when Friz Freleng and David H. Depatie began producing Looney Tunes from a new studio, and commissioning several Speedy and Roadrunner shorts from Rudy Larriva at Format Films).
Some of Speedy's later cartoons were actually directed and animated at another studio called "Format Films", (most likely due to cheapness.) The director of these cartoons was the highly talented Rudy Larriva, who had close ties to Warner animation, since he animated for Chuck Jones in the 1940's.

It was the first pro win for Gonzalez since 2003 when he won the Giro d'Italia stage in Bolzano, but the highly touted rider, who came to his current squad after a contract dispute with another team, had not lived up to his potential since winning the Spanish Tour in 2002.

The Mexican government defended the stamps, saying that like Speedy Gonzalez a cartoon mouse with a Mexican accent that debuted in the United States in 1953 — the Memin Pinguin character shouldn't be interpreted as a racial slur.

Speedy was always a hero, and apparently some Latinos fought to keep Speedy on the air against other Latino activists who tried to claim it's racist:
