The principal of a predominantly Hispanic high school accused fans from a majority-white school of racially targeting Latino football players during a game last week.
Santa Ana High School principal Jeff Bishop said in a Facebook post on Saturday that fans from Aliso Niguel held signs that featured messages such as "Build The Wall," a reference to President Trump's oft-used promise in his 2016 presidential campaign.
Santa Ana High School has a predominantly Hispanic student body, while the majority of Aliso Niguel's students are white, according to The Orange County Register.
"It would have been easy to blame the racist welcome the 'Saints' received as they walked into the stadium and read the posters referencing - Trump, 'We love White,' 'Build the Wall' and various other politically and racially-charged statements," Bishop wrote on Facebook.
"Tonight Was Chance to Improve in every Way." Coach "T" reminded his players during his post-game chat with his STUDENT-Athletes. Tonight, the Wolverines were the better team! It would have been easy to blame the racist welcome the "Saints" received as they walked into the stadium and read the posters referencing - Trump, "We love White," "Build the Wall" and various other politically and racially-charged statements. What I love about OUR coach is that at no time did he allow this unchristian hate from the Wolverine stands affect HIS team. After hearing chants from the student cheering section - "USA-USA-USA" after the first two touchdowns, morally - I could not ignore it anymore! After talking to the principal and watching her and her Assistant principals snag the signs away from these disrespectful and out of control students - it seemed to help. Afterwards, it became more about football, athleticism and a healthy competition between two high school football teams. The opposing principal cried in disappointment after I explained that I would give her a short time to knock the racist, derogatory and demeaning behavior off, or else! I was happy about her response in squelching the rightous idignation that the Aliso Niguel Wolverines displayed tonight. The real celebration was when the chain gang crew of Wolverine parents, complimented OUR coaches and "Saint"athletes on being "the only team this season without any poor behavior on the sideline"and that they "did not hear any use foul language while showing alot of class." Coach "T" knows what he is doing and scheduled 3 tough higher division teams on purpose to both toughen his players up and to play really tough teams to prepare for the season and post season. Coach "T" is more concerned about "Winning the War!" The Wolverines will do well in their division - Like the Saints! Both teams will do well when they hit league. The advantage that the "Saints" have is that they are respectful, gritty, resilient, and the community is Proud of them - Beyond Measure! They Continue to be Another Example of the Opportunity and Excellence that Exists at Santa Ana Santa High School on a Daily Basis. - Jeff Bishop
Bishop told The Register that he did not see the complete wording of the signs at the game, but he said he saw something about Trump.
"That alone made me think, ‘What is this, a football game or a political rally?’” he said.
Deni Christensen, principal at Aliso Niguel, told the newspaper that she had multiple politically charged signs removed from the event.
“They were two political signs. One said ‘Bring back Obama’ and one said ‘We’re going to Trump you,'" she said, adding that a "Trump 2020" sign was also removed.
Christensen told the newspaper that she did not see a "Build The Wall" poster.
In addition to the posters, Bishop said he was angered by Aliso Niguel's chants of "USA" after it scored touchdowns. Bishop added that he told Christensen at halftime that if the chants continued, the team would walk of the field.
“I told her ‘You’re playing Americans. You’re playing ‘Dreamers,’ ” Bishop said. ” ‘I don’t understand the USA pride thing when you score. And if I hear it one more time, I am walking off the field with the team.’ ”
Americans don't mind hearing the name of their country being yelled.
Point, set, match..
Keep telling yourselves peaceful coexistence is possible with these people.
Well, too be correct if they are Dreamers then in fact they are NOT Americans.
They are Illegal Invaders allowed to stay temporally under the DACA Ex. Order signed by Bronco Bama.
South, I hope, for as long as is necessary.
So that would be a forfeit. Note to opposing teams, in the spirit of Al Davis (Just win baby), you should all be doing the USA pride thing, when scoring, when kicking off, when making a tackle etc....
You’re playing ‘Dreamers,’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then they are not playing Americans.
The DREAM Act never passed Congress, that’s where the moniker comes from.
Obama made up DACA out of thin air instead.
It has no basis in law.
It is in fact illegal.
It should have been stopped before it got started, but the GOP refused to stop him, because they wanted amnesty anyway they could get it.
“Dreamers” are citizens of other countries illegally in our country like every other illegal alien.
They are Guatemalan, Mexican, Honduran, El Salvadoran, etc. but they are NOT Americans.
They could have been if their parents had applied for immigration, but they broke in instead.
I suspsect his whining will only cause the next School fans to show up all dressed up as Border Patrol and ICE Agents...
Leftist loser, displaying his lack of grace and dignity, and piling on with racist comments. So predictable. Does someone need a waaaambulance?
Aliso Niguel beat Santa Ana 42-21, in case anyone is interested. 8>)
Read the headline, not the article. Asked my self, “Who won and who lost?”
Still haven’t read the article...
My post 13.
You ruined it for me!
I knew as the illegal alien inundation progressed that we would have to stop flying or wearing our flags and stop rooting for our country.
It upsets the new owners.
BOTH parties have been intentionally not enforcing the laws and borders for 30 years.
We don’ have 11 million or even 15 million, it’s probably in excess of 30 million fraudulently documented foreigners living here.
We either restore the rule of law and remove the interlopers or we lose our country.
To do this we MUST remove the Bush League Republicans from the Senate and House and elect patriots who WILL support President Trump in enforcing the laws and borders.
With a score like that, it sounds like he has a severe case of the “Serenas”
Ignorant leftist principal.
The premise that anything done was racist is patently false because illegals and “dreamers” are not a race. Nor is “Hispanic” a race. Anything their sensitive imaginations find offensive cannot logically be racist.
I have heard zero libs detail any actions President Trump or his supporters have committed that are in fact racist. Racism as they define it is no more than not being a socialist.
Also, a lesson in geography. This is indeed the United States of America - the USA.
So is the wall the Mexico has built on their Southern border also “racist”? When every single country in the world other than the USA actually enforces their immigration laws is that “racist”?
Dreamers = Trespassing Foreign Citizens. (Why not give these students a chance to learn the correct use of the English language.)
Remember the Little League World Series where whole teams of Dominicans or Puerto Ricans from NYC would be overage and most of the ‘Foreigners’ were older than they were supposed to be???
Imagine today DEMANDING to see REAL Birth Certificates etc and the $hiiteStorm that would ensue?
