The 36ers are too...American
Following up on the Houston 1836 name post, here's a USA Today story that includes a critic who thinks our new team is lacking something: diversity:
Juan Giraldo is the president of the Houston Toros, a team in the semipro Universal Soccer Federation. Houston 1836 has mostly American players and none from Mexico, although it does have one from Venezuela and another from El Salvador. Giraldo said that's not enough.
"The Hispanic community is very excited that this is happening," Giraldo said. "But they definitely need to integrate some more Hispanic players. The Mexican community is very close to the Mexican leagues. For the MLS to work here, there has to be some connection to their own teams."
How predictable...and how tiresome.
