    I give up. What they said was racially insensitive. That's not the same as racist. And, sorry, but I don't see it as disparaging. There are plenty of awful disparaging comments about hispanics, but referring to a green card isn't one of them.

    Well then , what is? It is implying that a) he is here illegally and b) he has no right to be here.

    And it is entirely an ethnically based insult - you don't chant that at a blond haired kid named Jones or Roberts

    Let me remind you all. The young player in question is a Puerto Rican. He doesn't need a Green Card. He already carries a US passport. He is a US Citizen with all of the rights and privileges of any citizen. This chant of those folks in the band just shows how ignorant they are.
