Mexican-Americans Booing The US Team: What Does It Say About Nationalism?

Business Insider -

The U.S. team was roundly booed by the overwhelmingly pro-Mexican
crowd of 93,000.

L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke, who’s better at writing columns
than screaming at you on “Around The Horn”, wrote about the phenomenon
of U.S. residents not only rooting for Mexico, but jeering the
Americans.

“We’re not booing the country, we’re booing the team,” one fan told
Plaschke. “There’s a big difference.”

The fan is right, of course. In fact he’s right about the role of
booing all sports.

I watched the entire game on Univision and didn't hear any booing. Did
Univision have some way of blocking out the sound of the booing, or is
the story of the crowd booing the American team a propaganda piece and
fabrication of the L.A. Times?
