I am sure most of you heard from this in the local news lately but if you haven't here is an article I found online. The predominantly white Alamo Heights team had defeated San Antonio's Thomas A.
Edison High School, a mostly Latino team, by 50-39 Friday night, earning its
first spot in the state tournament since 1991, the station reported. Many defended the children who chanted "USA" toward students saying that "I am totally with the USA Cheers," wrote John Nicks. "They should not be forced
to or apologize at all. Its Hispanic team vs Caucasian Team, whats wrong with
rooting and cheering for the USA/Caucasians to win?" While other parents seem upset and bothered by how these comments effect their children.
I recall hearing this story and was sure this dealt with national leagues but was surprised to know it was a local high school team. I was even more alarmed to see parents' publicly supporting their children in those chants.
