A high-profile high school in one of the wealthiest districts of the San Antonio region finds itself under fire after its fans chanted "USA, USA, USA" following its boys basketball team's regional final victory against a team made up predominantly of Hispanic players.
As reported by KENS5.com, the Alamo Heights (Texas) High boys basketball team's regional title celebrations were marred by the aforementioned "USA" chants, which came from the school's fan section in the school's Littleton Gym.
Incredible. I have to think that most Americans are shocked by this kind of reaction to a harmless, patriotic chant. To those who felt offended, deal with it. It's only in the rarefied world of the media, which constantly tries to form and direct the narrative that we're all supposed to simply accept, that the chanting of "USA!" by boisterous kids having fun could be interpreted as something offensive.
