Good article...when will we learn?

This isn't the olympics. It wasn't the USA v. Iran. If it were, you'd have a point.

The chant was racially motivated (from what I gain from the article, anyway), not in an effort to cheer on the USA (whose team which we weren't watching play). Trust me, I fly my Star-Spangled Banner every day as it hangs on my house, but I don't believe that foreigners here LEGALLY deserve ridicule (even foreigners here illegally don't deserve ridicule). They have every right to study, play sports, sight-see, etc.

I'd be willing to bet that we have foreigners on many of our sports teams (I'm guessing Tennis for sure)...should we be concerned about them too?

so you think by chanting USA we are taking that right (the legal ones) to study, play sports, sight-see away from them. do you really think the guy from Iran was offended because he heard americans chanting USA? that's a great big "COM'N MAN!!"

We have a person from Sweden on our Tennis team. I would hope if he heard an opposing fan scream, "IKEA is crap", he would laugh it off. That's funny. To be offended by something so innocuous would be a bit over the top. I think the "USA" chant is idiotic, but not offensive. Now chanting something more creative like "Cartel Drug Mule"...now that's offensive...and funny.

WTF are UL students doing pretending to be University of South Alabama fans?

The butthurt flows strongly through this article. I commend the rice team. They took every joke we threw at them in stride. They were even laughing at most of our jokes.

Cajunhawk would have done it better. You know, if he would have actually gone to a game.


I'm 1/4 German and made fun of the 1/2 German guy the whole game and he thought it was hilarious. Some people need to grow a pair.

Their Canadian guy loved the Canada sucks chant. He was almost in tears every time he'd come to the bench.

The only thing we made fun of their Egyptian for was his half dollar-sized ringworm on the back of his left arm.

You're just mad you didn't come up with Cartel Drug Mule. If you are 1/4 German and the other 3/4's is angry..would that make you a sauerkraut? See what I did there...

But he is Canadian...saying a Canadian guy gets your brand of humor is nothing to write home about my friend. That's the equivalent of saying a man from Pakistan digs the way your woman dresses.
