SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Should spanish be banned on the field?

Ciera la boca! No hablan espanol en los Estados Unidos!

Besides the only spanish I have ever heard on the field is "aqui"
and the answer to that is simply NO (we only pass the ball in english in this country).

nah just playin lowerstate. i agree witcha'.

Bottom line:

1) There is no official language of the United States (though English is basically it)

2) Some kids that play high school soccer are not totally fluent in English..

3) Some kids that play high school soccer are not totally fluent in Spanish

4) If you understand both..you have the advantage.

Learn spanish if you don't want it to be a problem. Or.. beat the guy regardless.

If you're a ref..I think you can tell when a player is "dissenting" or being "unsporting"..without knowing what "Punta" actually means..

That remark sounds par for the course in this state. (the original remark)

See the discussion on: Hispanic players' impact on boys' soccer in SC

Guess this is a spin-oof from previous discussions.

why should we have to learn their language when it is them coming to us.

a universal language would be nice, no?

it's actually "puta" guys, "punta" means point

My bad.. I always preferred cursing in Slovakian .. only really heard "puta"..never use it much..
