Last week, when Kansas State played Southern Mississippi, the Souther Miss crowd rather famously now chanted out "Where's your green card" at Puerto Rico-born Kansas State guard Angel Rodriguez. As it turns out, there's some "hell to pay": "School president Martha Saunders announced Tuesday that five band members have had their scholarships revoked, have been removed from the band and will have to complete a two-hour cultural sensitivity training course this week." If there's a downside to it, their names weren't released to the public. Personally, I think they deserve some rather public shaming to go along with this punishment but at least they got this. The irony to the whole, ignorant, ugly thing? Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States so Rodriguez diddn't need a green card. Idiots. Racism must end.
