My son is 15.
He’s trying out for soccer in high school again this year.
We were quite surprised that he wasn’t chosen to be on varsity last year. He’s very good – fast and an excellent passer.
While putzing around this weekend with him – and going over strategies on how to have a good camp – he mentioned that half the guys who made the team last year are in the country illegally.
So my son may not get to play high school soccer because of illegal immigrants.
I don’t think the adage: “Playing high school sports American kids won’t play” is accurate.
I’m getting fed up with this situation. It is un-American.
ok, it floors me you have kids in high school? sheesh, fountain of youth.
while i agree with your assessment, some of that is just racism, surely? half the team can’t be illegal? for real?
i’d have immigration at the opening game. adios, pele!
Well, at 15, the numbers may be off. But even if it is 3, that’s a quarter of the team. And even if he was the first alternate last year, then he isn’t on the team because of other’s illegal acts.
That bugs me.
You need to teach him spanish…
That is just WRONG. Why don’t people see it?
