Guess who REALLY had home field advantage?
It was imperfectly odd. It was strangely unsettling. It was uniquely American.
On a balmy early Saturday summer evening, the U.S soccer team played for a prestigious championship in a U.S. stadium … and was smothered in boos.
Its fans were vastly outnumbered. Its goalkeeper was bathed in a chanted obscenity. Even its national anthem was filled with the blowing of air horns and bouncing of beach balls.
Most of these hostile visitors didn't live in another country. Most, in fact, were not visitors at all, many of them being U.S. residents whose lives are here but whose sporting souls remain elsewhere.
Sorry... that's not confined to just the 'sporting' part of that crowd's souls...
"I love this country, it has given me everything that I have, and I'm proud to be part of it," said Victor Sanchez, a 37-year-old Monrovia resident wearing a Mexico jersey. "But yet, I didn't have a choice to come here, I was born in Mexico, and that is where my heart will always be."Guess what, Victor? Your parents may have smuggled you across the border as a baby, when you had no choice. But you have one now. If your heart will always be in Mexico, as well as your sympathies, maybe your body should join them there. Sure, your physical standard of living may suffer, but hey, what price loyalty to La Raza, right?
The LA Times calls Saturday's scene 'uniquely American.' Yeah, only America and the decaying states of Western Europe are uniquely stupid enough to allow a growing presence of people within their borders whose allegiances are clearly elsewhere. If you come here for the opportunities, at least be willing to identify with your adopted home. The behavior documented above is simple ingratitude... and the Latino activist groups then wonder why other Americans question their motives and loyalties.
Rome thought it could civilize massive influxes of Germanic tribes, too. How'd that work out for them? Two words: Fifth Column.
