People are really trying to create outrage at Leo Manzano?

[RB TexLa]

The man displays pride in his heritage and it's supposed to be outrageous? What is wrong with people?

1. He ain't lily white or of northern European extraction.........

Therefore he shouldn't be "proud" of his heritage. He should be grateful we even let him on our Olympic team and not bring attention to the fact that he's NOT lily white. I guarantee you this is the thinking.

2. PLEASE REMEMBER: THE CITY INVITES THE ATHLETES AND NOT THE COUNTRY

THE COLD WAR WARPED EVERYTHING

3. Betcha a nickel

that the students at Manzano High School in Albuquerque will have that picture all over the place! First thing I thought of when I saw it.

4. Are sports really so important as to care who flies what flag?

5. Well, as a Hyphenated-American, I think he breached decorum

He was there representing the USA.

I think he knows that now, and he apologized.

Outraged? No.

Uncomfortable? Yes.

But then again, there have been other breaches of decorum. And eventually we have come to understand them and accept them...
