Think Twice Before You Speak!



Unfortunately, people criticize each other for no reason, just because they notice something they dislike in another person.  We all know about March Madness when college basketball compete for the NCAA trophy.  This past Thursday, University of Southern Mississippi and Kansas State University had a very intense game. However one a very terrible incident happened. The University of Southern Mississippi band yelled a racism chant, “where’s your green card” at a Latino player, Angel Rodriguez shot free throws. Rodriguez stated that he heard the chant however he was not going to pay attention to nonsense and focus on the game. The athletic director from Southern Mississippi and other personnel apologized to the player and the school.  There are different stereotypes people say regarding different races, background, and ages.  The incident that happened during the game is an example of one it is very imperative that people think twice about their actions.
