Lou wrote the speech himself, which added an even more personal correlation and made it more meaningful to anyone who listened since it came from the heart. The audience at the stadium sitting before him was mainly family, friends, and fans of Lou, so when he spoke and looked at everyone, he sounded more sincere when directing the speech towards them.

Although Yunior may not approve of his father’s abusive nature, he still accepts it because this kind of behavior is the norm for the families he sees around him in his environment.
