Mexican-American boy's national anthem sparks racist comments

As a lifelong Suns fan, I've hated the Spurs with a vengeance over the years, but in these Finals, I'm rooting for them. Popovich is one of the best to have ever coached in the NBA.

He is legendary.

Hahaha

A Nation made up of immigrants hates immigrants...it's sort of touching in its absurdity.

This topic is not political or religious in nature. It should be moved to Off Topic.

Posting engravings of masturbators retreating in shame under the all-seeing eye of Ceiling Cat is neither political nor religious in nature, unless you accept Ceiling Cat as a deity. This should be moved to Off Topic.

That's pretty much the same way we see it here in Dallas. They hate the Spurs and the Heat here. They just hate the Heat more.

An 11-year-old boy's rendition of the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA finals brought the usual appreciative applause Tuesday, but outside AT&T Center in San Antonio, his performance brought a darker reaction from some posters on social media -- and eventually an online backlash against their racist comments.

Social Media is SO COOL !!!

Right ?

I remember watching this kid on America's Got Talent (one of my many reality tv guilty pleasures) ... he's adorable and talented. Eff the haters.

But But - the haters have access to social media !

Somehow, they are 'allowed' to be there, and are contributing 'socially' in the interwebz.

Yay Social Media !!

To direct this kind of hate and ignorance at a CHILD is really disturbing.

But But - it's the SOCIAL MEDIA !!!

That may be true but considering that hate and religious zealotry go hand in hand, this might be the appropriate place for this topic after all.

That kind of iron hand would really clear the room in here

That would be cool if a lot of fans show up in mariachi costumes

That'll show 'em, you betcha.

Those Social Media Wankers will spew spew spew !!!

Hate speech from racists is considered 'political' , so it's good that was covered back in post #1.

My hatred for LeBron James trumps everything.

I like LeBron. He's a pretty remarkable story of someone who could have easily taken his life in another direction.

His attitude on the court makes it hard for me to cheer for him.

lol...that was fun to watch. Barkley hit on the nail towards the end of the video - Pops brings out the best in all his players.

The Spurs announced about an hour ago that Sebastien will be back for an encore performance tonight

Racist Twitter fans are standing by.....
