[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many latin families feel connected to FC Barcelona? [/quote]

Messi? I don’t know ... they’re just one of the most famous and successful Latin soccer teams out there.[/quote]

Am I missing something ? Barcelona is a European club not Latin. Anyway my guess in because Messi is from Argentina. Although that would be like the USA and Mexico connecting with Alphonso Davies because he’s from the same continent. So maybe it’s like the LeBron factor where whatever team he plays for becomes popular. [/quote]

By referring to an example from a more familiar sport, you have demonstrated your ignorance of both soccer and basketball, as well as a cultural ignorance that is frankly stunning. I do not think your underlying assumption iscorrect in my experience (Latinx communities are simply more avid soccer fans across the board, and many if not the majority prefer Madrid), and the notion that Hispanic Americans are cheering on a team because they have an Argentinian is preposterous. I don’t think you appreciate the multiple national and regional rivalries among our neighbors, or how they translate into preferences in these United States. I would leave it be. [/quote]

I think the OP was referring to Latins not Latin Americans. Big culture difference there. To be fair the Latin America culture is much closer to an American culture rather than Latin. [/quote]
