[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

My sons team played one team at a tournament that brought drums. The parent on the sideline was a constant drumming throughout the whole game and more on any goals scored or big plays. It was annoying and distracted from the game.[/quote]

Um, that's not spanish.  That's soccer all around the world except here in the states.  We make soccer boring, get over it because whether it's EPL or La Liga they are yelling, singing, drumming.  That's just the way it is, but noooooo we think it's unsportsmanlike.  [/quote]

The

What's becoming clear is that there are many people on this thread who really have no idea of what the culture of the global game is like, and the only people they have experienced who are actually connected to that culture are latinos.  Thus their conclusion that finding creative ways to express joy and share that feeling with one's teammates and supporters is just part of "hispanic culture."

Funniest part is that it makes them “uncomfortable”. Why? How?  :lol: [/quote]
