Cornell University Football Coach Roy Istvan apologized to students who were offended by an image he tweeted: an image of two of his players wearing sombreros.
Why were they wearing sombreros? Istvan awards the big hat to the player or players who best represented team spirit on the field after a game.
This practice has displeased some members of MEChA de Cornell, a Mexican student group.
"They're appropriating a culture that isn't theirs and using it as a joke," wrote one student on MEChA's Facebook page, according to Campus Reform. "It's disgusting and I'm ashamed that you can't see that."
The Facebook page's administrators posted a link to Cornell's Bias Response Team and encouraged students to file a complaint against Istvan.
Another person demanded action from the student-government.
"What is your [the Student Assembly's] response to this?" asked the student. "So many of your fellow students' culture is being used as a prop consistently on this campus and it is supported publicly by this university. Will you pass a proposition to recommend a faculty/staff diversity and cultural sensitivity training? Or will you just push it under the rug as you did the Cinco de Octubre event? I expect a response to this from the Minority Liaison."
You'll be hearing from the Minority Liasion! was apparently enough of a threat to persuade Istvan to apologize.
"I am truly sorry for the cultural insensitivity and understand how our expression of pride came at the expense of others in the Cornell community," he wrote on Twitter.
The image was initially retweeted by Cornell's official Twitter account, which prompted one member of student-government to seek an apology from the university.
"Publically supporting this is absolutely unacceptable, and I request that you remove this immediately," the student wrote.

Just say, "A Mexican sold it to me and put it on my head, so it's OK. BTW, take off those baseball caps. We invented that game."
Coaches used to be alpha males. Now they’re mostly just p*ssies.
I wonder how many millions of tacos and burritos are eaten every day by gringos? How much tequila is consumed.
Unfortunately, I have a kid going to school up there.
He’s marinating in the lib environment there.
Honestly, I wish the media would stop publicizing these outrageous exemplars of immaturity and intolerance. They're really embarrassing the little snowflake morons.

Offended by a sombrero? They’d better stay away from Dillon SC then.
Which one is Rosa Klebb?
LOL.
This PC crap is finished!! GO TRUMP!!
Cornell gave us Prof. George McT. Kahin and his Hanoi loving bunch of propagandists and liars in the Southeast Asian Studies program.
Drop dead, you reds and PC pricks.
However, there is at least one honorable scholar at Cornell, a decorated Vietnam veteran whose life has been devoted to freedom and the truth. I salute him and any others like him that I don’t know about.
The rest can go to hell.
... And when they leave their baby crib that is a modern day undergrad delusion,
I, and other potential employers, shall be waiting for them - hungry like a wolf.
WHY DID HE APOLIGIZE?
HE DID NOTHING WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“CHINAMAN’S CHANCE”

That is a VERY racist comment. :-)
A local Mexican restaurant brings out a sombrero when singing happy birthday to a diner.
Is that cultural appropriation?
Oh, dear.

Mao had “response teams”, too.
