However, if the current makeup of Chivas USA's line up versus Galaxy's line up is any indication of diversity, the LARS is counterdicting itself. Bufoonishly, at that.<BR/><BR/>Not every Latino cheers for Chivas. Not every Mexican cheers for Chivas. Nevertheless, look at at the diversity of the Chivas USA team and try to accept that the 2005 ideology of "Aqui esta el futbol" has been trashed for good. <BR/><BR/>Diversity is good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-828368159574302472007-08-24T11:22:00.000-07:002007-08-24T11:22:00.000-07:00"LARS is at least half Latino, and we support our ...<I>"LARS is at least half Latino, and we support our team rather than a brand or idea, as Legion 2005 proved when they bailed on Chivas USA to go watch a Senior Chivas friendly."</I><BR/><BR/>Amen. What kind of fan supporters group in a top-flight league bails on their team to go to the friendly of another team (even if they are related) esp. if that game is 400 miles away?<BR/><BR/>Classless the whole way down the line.<BR/><BR/>I do like their flag/banner, though.Nathan Henderson-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445309793930121704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-84898924239088266582007-08-24T08:56:00.000-07:002007-08-24T08:56:00.000-07:00Our (LARS) point in wearing the hats and bringing ...Our (LARS) point in wearing the hats and bringing in the mariachis is to undercut the whole Chivas idea that they are the only representatives of Mexicans and even Latinos in SoCal.<BR/><BR/>So Suarez and Mendoza were mad? It just further proves the point. Week after week more Latinos show up to support the Galaxy than the entire crowd Chivas gets. LARS is at least half Latino, and we support our team rather than a brand or idea, as Legion 2005 proved when they bailed on Chivas USA to go watch a Senior Chivas friendly.<BR/><BR/>LARS was not mocking Mexicans - we were mocking the maximalist kool-ade drinking mentality that is <I>Chivas</I>Bob Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195107133942667536noreply@blogger.com
