[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were the teams majority Hispanic? If so, it's just cultural.

I personally find it a bit tacky in kids sports, but it is very normal coming from those cultures and hey, they generally produce much better teams, so they must be doing something right. [/quote]

You're an ignorant racist.

Goal celebrations are not part of "Hispanic" culture, they're a part of the culture of the game - everywhere in the world.

If you see kids doing choreographed goal celebrations it usually just means they watch pro soccer.

While it is surprising that that poster would jump to a conclusion about what culture the team might be, 
hispanic is not a race.
And anyone who watches international soccer is quite aware of the differences between goal celebrations in the Premier League v. La Liga v. Mexican Liga v. Italy v. Brazil and Argentina.   None of those are races by the way - they are cultures, all subcultures of the soccer culture if you will.

Kids today emulate their heroes.  Messi and Ronaldo are still the best but the kids emulate Neymar, GRiezmann, Rapinoe etc.
Rapinoe and Griezmann are very self-expressive.  Not my preference but it is their game now.  Long gone are the days Cruyf Pele and Best simply broke into a glorious smile.
