Isn't that strange?

When Northern Virginia's Latino soccer leagues kick off the 2008 season early next month, fans of Honduras de Manassas will have to travel outside their base in Prince William County to see their team score goals. So will supporters used to watching Juventus Sure¿o crush the competition in Woodbridge. Devotees of longtime Manassas powerhouse Fiorentina will need to switch allegiance. Their team is sitting out this season.
As Prince William proceeds with its crackdown on illegal immigrants, one result is a shake-up and shrinking of the area's entrenched Hispanic soccer leagues. The reason is simple, organizers say: Players and fans, among them many illegal immigrants, are so worried about being detained by authorities en route to or at games that they are avoiding local fields. Legal immigrants are also wary, for themselves or their illegal relatives, organizers say.
"I have never felt as good as I felt in Manassas," said Hector Bardales, 26, a Sterling mechanic who plays in four of the region's leagues but most loved the crowds who cheered him on when he donned his Honduras de Manassas uniform. But he is in the country illegally, so Manassas is now no man's land, he said. "I would play in any county except Prince William."

Another front-page, full color-picture valentine from the Washington Post to Pr. William illegals.
What part of illegal is not a crime?
Good.
Third-World Football sucks almost as bad as illegals.
“As Prince William proceeds with its crackdown on illegal immigrants, one result is a shake-up and shrinking of the area’s entrenched Hispanic soccer leagues.”
::sniffsniff: What??? I am sooo distraught!
Its almost as if the Mafia can’t have their own bocce league for fear of arrest or something.
Is it fayerrr? Is it fayerrrr??

Jerks. Go the he** home.
Amazing how these illegals can make the front page of the paper, yet ICE can’t seem to find them.
The LA-Tino Times has done the same thing for 25 years despite a steady declining circulation.
You'd swear La Raza published that rag.

Instead, they'll have to travel to that third world country known as Montgomery County, Maryland.
Most of our local parks here in the San Fernando Valley, CA have been overrun with illegals, their soccer games, their loud music, and their gangs; to the point where the taxpayers who fund these parks are so intimidated that they can’t even enjoy the parks for themselves anymore.
“I have never felt as good as I felt in Manassas” said Hector Bardeles. What’s missing here? I’ll bet you Hector said that through a translater!
Isn't that strange?
Yeh, like Canoga Park among other formerly safe, white cities.
Dittos to your comments on parks that are over-run by Mexicans. The thing you don’t see at a San Antonio park is grass.
Just 25 miles away, New Braunfels has the right idea at their lovely Landa Park. Those wishing to visit their park and eat a meal must rent a table, with a limit of eight persons per table. Landa Park still has grass and peace and quiet...nice.
Oh, poor illegal alien babies!! WAH-HA-WA-HA!!
Send that 3rd world game back to the 3rd world country they came from.

They should be afraid of the authorities. They’re here illegally.
