Lincoln East Coach Jeff Hoham issued a statement Thursday and sent a letter to Omaha South Coach Joe Maass regarding the “green card'' incident after the state boys soccer championship game. Get ready for a big "OY VEH!" by the time you reach the end:

Only spoiled, suburban white people could smear Omaha South as basically a bunch of "wetbacks," then make the spectacle all about themselves and how terribly enlightened they're being in, as a student said on TV today, "repairing ties with Omaha South and the Latino community."ĪND NOW THIS, courtesy of the Omaha World-Herald, from the coach of Lincoln East's soccer team. And judging by recent history in matters small and large, the predictable country is about to lose the future. I reckon the right team won the World Cup. Politicians utterly devoid of class and eager to hurl invective (and worse) at The Other are guilty primarily of mirroring their constituents - and American sports "fans" - a little too closely. You also start thinking, as you let your mind start wandering to the debt standoff and the political dysfunction reigning in Washington, that probably we have the government we so richly deserve. WHEN LOSING a soccer game results in enough American jingoism, meanness and outright racism on Twitter that it all starts to "trend," you start thinking more along the lines of "bad omen," not metaphor. It jibes more closely with a backbiting, infighting, hapless bunch of losers that finishes last in its NBA division. On the other hand, recent American history doesn't really jibe with a hard-working team that plays its heart out and loses a close one to a superior opponent. I had been thinking that Team USA's heartbreaking loss to Japan was somehow metaphorical. The Women's World Cup ended up being no exception. Worse for Harper, there's no shortage of Texas-size ridicule for a precocious preteen to bear all by her Lone Star self.Īmericans rarely miss an opportunity to make profound jackasses of themselves. Sadly for you, there's no reflected glory to bathe yourselves in. The national anthem done in the style of Tibetan throat singing would have been less memorable. What could go wrong with an 11-year-old white girl trying to outdo Whitney Houston's version of a song that to most singers is what invading Afghanistan is to most empires?īecause, by God, people are gonna remember Harper Gruzins from Coppell, Texas! I mean, if her website says it, it must be true!Īnd then you put her out there, before tens of thousands in a stadium and many more than that on TV. And put her out there some more, because the fruit of mama's womb turned out to be a singer-songwriter! You were happy to bask in the reflected glow of your little darling's prepubescent musical specialness. There's now a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner worse than Roseanne Barr's. Parents who let an 11-year-old white girl with an OK voice run around oversinging oversung Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé songs in public probably need to be horsewhipped.Īnd parents old enough to know better who let an 11-year-old girl who isn't do this to the national anthem at a major-league soccer game - on television, no less - need killin', to put it in their native Texan.ĬONGRATULATIONS, asshats. Parents who let an 11-year-old girl call herself a "singer-songwriter" and traipse through the Texas coffeehouse and showcase circuit need to have their heads examined.
