That is a good question as to what would have happened had the other team chanted “Mexico.” They did that at a professional soccer match in California a few years back.

In truth, the local school is not a National thing and the chant of “USA, USA, USA!” is really not what you normally hear at local schools when they win a game. The team was not the USA team and the team they played against was not a foreign team.

So, I think in this case, it was a statement that Americans had just beat Mexican at a game. In truth the Hispanic children are Texans and Americans, too.

This bit with making people appologize is stupid. You appologize when you intentionally hurt someone and you are truly sorry about it. One can not be “made” to appologize. It is not just words.

Liberals are numbing people to the real concepts and emotions of love and care by making sorrow into a political game. After all this and Obama’s constant appologies, appologizing becomes at best, meaningless and at worst, something to dark, weak and to be resisted. Appology comes out of sorrow for accidently or purposefully treating your neighbor, friend, etc. in a way you would not want to be treated yourself. It comes out of humility not PC bullying.

There was a Pearls Before Swine comic strip that I saved which went something like this:
Rat: I have decided to just start saying I am sorry because it is just a meaningless word.
Pig: Well that isn’t very nice.
Rat: Sorry.
