[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thats BS that its part of the hispanic culture. Doesn't make it acceptable one bit. However , rather than complain tell your kids remember the feeling and use it as motivation. Never allow another team to do that to you again.  [/quote]

Yeah. Where are you getting this "hispanic culture" stuff? Generally, the all-hispanic teams we play have very chill, very serious players and the only trend I've noticed is some (not all) scream-ier coaches. Definitely no over the top celebrations. I kiiiiind of feel like this PP was like "Oh! Hispanic culture has colorful decorations and stuff - they must celebrate goals!" Yikes. [/quote]

I'm hispanic and when my son scores, we break out the Mariachi Band.[/quote]

My non-Hispanic son plays for a mostly Hispanic team and it seems like the Hispanic parents promote excessive celebrations. I am waiting for them to bring drums and fireworks. Honestly. I am. It's VERY uncomfortable sometimes.  The coach allows it because he believes it's the culture and doesn't want to stop it. I have a feeling that the parents of one of the non-Hispanic kids will move their kid to another team because it's that uncomfortable for them.  They feel its very unsporting. I'm not there yet.[/quote]

Wtf no, they don’t. Individual parents might promote it, some might celebrate themselves (or cheer loudly), but you’re making an ignorant blanket statement with no certainty. Perhaps find a league where people snap their fingers instead of clapping.[/quote]
