Southern Miss apologizes for band's derogatory chant at NCAA tournament
Southern Miss apologizes for band's derogatory chant at NCAA tournament

Angel Rodriguez, right, was subjected to a derogatory chant by members of the Southern Miss band
during the game Thursday
(CNN) -- A university president apologized after members of the school's band yelled "where's your green card" at a Latino player during a NCAA basketball tournament game Thursday.
TV cameras captured the incident during the University of Southern Mississippi-Kansas State University game at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
As Kansas State point guard Angel Rodriguez shot free throws, several people could clearly be heard with the green card chant.
Rodriguez did not change his expression during the chants and helped push Kansas State to victory by scoring 13 points.
NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said the University of Southern Mississippi "responded in a timely and appropriate fashion to address the matter."
"Any determination of championship misconduct is the purview of the men's basketball committee and will be addressed following the tournament," she said.
Southern Miss President Martha Saunders issued an apology.
"We deeply regret the remarks made by a few students at today's game," Saunders said in a statement on the school's website. "The words of these individuals do not represent the sentiments of our pep band, athletic department or university. We apologize to Mr. Rodriguez and will take quick and appropriate disciplinary action against the students involved in this isolated incident."
The eighth-seeded Kansas State Wildcats beat the ninth-seeded Southern Miss Golden Eagles 70-64, knocking them out of the tournament.

The crowd was trying to psych Angel Rodriguez out during his free throws. So what if they chanted "Green card"? Seriously, I dont care and I highly doubt most Americans care either.
What is more disturbing than college kids chanting 'Green Card' is a University official apologizing for the free speech rights and free expressions of Americans.

Is there any reason to believe that Angel Rodriguez might not be in the U.S. legally?
If not legally, then the Miss. State students shouldn't have been chanting.
They should have been reporting, or calling ICE.Last edited by MinutemanCDC_SC; 03-17-2012 at 03:33 AM.
One man's terrorist is another man's undocumented worker.
Unless we enforce laws against illegal aliens today,
tomorrow WE may wake up as illegals.
The last word: illegal aliens are ILLEGAL!
