Mexican soccer fans protest crime, drugs

September 7, 2008

MEXICO CITY – Tens of thousands of Mexican soccer fans dressed in white at an international game in the Azteca Stadium yesterday to protest rising crime and a brutal drug war that has killed more than 2,700 people this year.

At least three-quarters of the 100,000 fans answered a call by Mexico's soccer federation to dress in white. The Mexican team also wore white in the World Cup qualifier against Jamaica rather than its traditional green uniforms.

Moments before the game started, the federation covered the pitch with a huge white sheet as part of the protest. Mexico won the match 3-0.

More than 150,000 people attended an anti-crime rally in the Mexican capital last weekend.

Maybe revolution is happening in Mexico and the people are getting sick of a corrupt government.

This is the good people of Mexico standing up. That gives me hope.
It would be nice if Mexicans stayed in their country and revolted instead of taking what's our here.
If Mexico straightened out maybe the illegals that come in from their southern border, would settle in Mexico! LOL
Then Mexico could take care of the other countries people like we DID... 8O
This is good news...

Maybe some of them are those who went home and said, we can do better than this, let's clean up our own country.
