March Madness turns racist at Southern Mississippi vs. Kansas State game
By UNIVISION NEWS
Channel: Immigration, SportsMembers of the Southern Mississippi University band took their heckling one step too far on Thursday when they started chanting “Where’s you’re green card?” while a Latino Kansas State player was on the foul line.
The mean-spirited taunts would have been out of line in any circumstance. However, it’s worth noting that the player, Angel Rodriguez, was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is therefore a U.S. citizen.
Immigration has become a hot topic in Mississippi in the past few weeks, as Gov. Phil Bryant (R) endorsed Alabama-style crackdown law that was passed by the state House early this morning.
Thursday’s game was took place in Pittsburgh. Kansas State went on to win 70-64, with Rodriguez scoring 13 points.

UPDATE: USA Today reports that Southern Mississippi president Martha Saunders issued an apology to Rodriguez dissociating the university from the incident, but misspelling the player’s last name while doing so.
