Comments on: Interview with Luis Bueno http://cultureofsoccer.com/2008/03/12/interview-with-luis-bueno/ Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:29:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jason.Burke,Murphy http://cultureofsoccer.com/2008/03/12/interview-with-luis-bueno/#comment-16462 Jason.Burke,Murphy Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:34:21 +0000 http://cultureofsoccer.com/2008/03/12/interview-with-luis-bueno/#comment-16462 Some of the responses to this interview are very telling. Bueno is accused of being a "racist" or a "retard" for "bringing up that Mexican stuff." In fact, Bueno mostly discusses these matters because the interviewer asked him. Bueno's points are good and actually explain the somewhat low latino participation in MLS in ways that don't involve personal guilt on the part of MLS organizers. But what if one out of twenty people in a youth soccer league or an MLS stadium are as vicious and stupid as one out of twenty posters responding to this interview? Wouldn't it make sense to organize one's own league and watch Cruz Azul on TV with your friends? Latino participation may be rather high given what we can see here.
