This week I came across two incidents of rhetoric being used to oppress in the world of sports.
first
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/southern-miss-band-chants-where-green-card-puerto-205326741.html during the NCAA tournament the band from the other team taunted a Puerto Rican player.
the second is an article about a local Detroit Basketball game that turned ugly when the Catholic school student section began chants that made fun of the econmic status that many student at King HS in Detroit face http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120313/OPINION03/203130328/1332/OPINION0317/Detroit-King-s-comfortable-win-turns-uncomfortable
So why is it that people feel they can chant whatever they want at sporting events? Do they foster that much of a mob mentality that people shout against their better judgement?
