ICE missed a great opportunity last night. An illegal alien tidal wave flooded Bank of America Stadium in “uptown” Charlotte. You ask what the occasion was. Well, here it is:
The CONCACAF Gold Cup stopped in the Queen City, with 4 of 12 regional teams representing North America, the Caribbean, and Central America playing to large crowds. Fan favorite, Mexico beat Cuba 5-0, but five players from Mexico's soccer team tested positive for a banned substance right before the match and were suspended. Costa Rica and El Salvador played to a 1-1 tie.
Just over 50 thousand fans came out to the Carolina Panthers' usual home turf to watch the two matches. Enthusiasm of soccer play in Charlotte depends in large part on the teams that play. In 2010, a turnout of 63,000 fans who came to watch Mexico play Iceland showed Gold Cup organizers that Charlotte holds great possibilities for the game .
Charlotte was selected to host this event because of its huge Latino diaspora. The event catered to those who are English impaired by simultaneously announcing over the P.A. system in Spanish. Now that is something to look forward too. Not only do you have to press one for English, or read both languages when you are at Lowes or Home Depot; now you have to hear that gibberish at sporting events. Only in America!
And of course with Latino arrogance comes this little jewel:
After all as Alan Hernandez said, he wants to turn Bank of America Stadium into a soccer stadium because, "we bring more people than the Panthers."
And press one for English.
