  1.  @bewareofsasquatch  His name is Luke Serna, he brought the tortillas, he says he is half-Mexican, but that doesn't matter to me, either way.... In 1891 Italians were called "colored" and the single largest lynching in the South was done to "colored" Italians. Your comment is not progressive, but regressive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_14,_1891_New_Orleans_lynchings#:~:text=The%20March%2014%2C%201891%2C%20New,mass%20lynchings%20in%20American%20history.

  2. Luke Serna brought the tortillas, he is half-Mexican, and as a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, where it's a tradition to throw tortillas at a win, he and the coach thought it would be fun. He's also a Democrat. You can read his interview all about it: https://coronadotimes.com/news/2021/06/23/coronado-resident-admits-to-buying-and-distributing-tortillas-answers-questions/

  3.  @bewareofsasquatch  The coach who was fired is JD Laaperi, the person who brought the tortillas is Luke Serna. Both coaches are "white" by your standard, the team captain at Coronado is Black, and Luke says he's half-Mexican, a registered Democrat who is turning Socialist, and works for the politically progressive SEIU. Tortillas have been thrown in celebration at UC Santa Barbara games. I've provided links. I've only brought up facts, it is you who are intent on spinning them and persist in distorting the meaning of the word "racist", which is now so deformed it is without function. UCSB supporters let tortillas fly in celebration of goal: https://youtu.be/FiX1xVdpXWc

  5.  @marcelopena3537  It's worth the effort, and expect to see more from others, time to bring back balance, about 10% read the facts and reassessed, not a good number. For the last 40 years, pride has been emphasized, now it's time for humility and circumspection.

  6. Tortillas were meant as celebration of a win, here's an example of that, and why Luke Serna brought them, with the coach's full knowledge. Search on Luke Serna for full story, we are being lied to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiX1xVdpXWc

  7.  @juan2suero640  You just did, by not spelling Coronado correctly. Many Anglos changed to Spanish surnames to get married in Spanish territory. Mission San Juan Batista in California is named after the Anglo John Cooper Rogers, he changed his name to Juan Batista. History is more complicated than you imagine, or taught. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._R._Cooper

  8. Luke Serna, man who brought them, is half-Mexican, and it is traditional from his college, UC Santa Barbara, to throw them at wins. Google his name for full story Here's an example: https://youtu.be/FiX1xVdpXWc

  9.  @benitocamelastoda2074  Luke Serna, the man who brought them in anticipation of a winning celebration, is half-Mexican, and the captain of the team is Black. Luke's a Democrat turning Socialist, and was interviewed by the Coronado Times https://coronadotimes.com/news/2021/06/23/coronado-resident-admits-to-buying-and-distributing-tortillas-answers-questions/

  10.  @coreydailey4939  Luke Serna was interviewed by the Coronado Times and said he spoke to the coach about the tortillas before the game. The coach, JD, is quoted in the SD Union calling it a racist act. the school rushed to judgement and fired JD, the CIF has taken the win away from the team and sanctioned them for a "racist" act, and the Coronado school district is looking into an appeal and has hired their own investigator to find out what happened, something everyone already claims to know. I think a documentary could be done of this event showing how the media, the spineless bureaucrats, the self-righteous and MSM, all rushed to judgement. It's possible that JD deserved to be fired, I don't know, and nothing on YouTube or the legacy press has informed us YET of what really happened. The word "racism" has been weaponized, lost any logical meaning, and is now something of a religious totem people touch, feel, and pray too, it's got to stop.
    2
  11.  @coreydailey4939  I agree, and thank you for bringing the "facts" into the discussion. Luke says in his interview the coach knew in advance, but the SD Union story appears to make it look like he did not, and quote him saying it was a "racist" act. Luke's action is an issue, poor judgement, perhaps even unintended incitement to riot. It's also possible the tortillas diverted a more physical altercation after the game, which went into overtime, and it seems the staff of both teams started to "go at it". I think the actions of the Oak Glen coach also needs to be looked at, and the "tortillas" look more like a side-show for the media and culture war than the primary issue at the end of the game, which was poor sportsmanship. I just saw last night a pro basketball player push an opposing team member hard in the back as he was walking away. I don't think the culture values "sportsmanship" at all, and in fact, seems to reward it. The sanctions by the CIF were over the top, and show cowardice by that agency in the face of a political response by some, egged on by the media. I believe a true investigation would show bad acts by both team staff at the end of the game, and based on that, JD should perhaps be fired, but the team should retain the win.

  12.  @rondanew9916  Serna acted in poor judgement, so did the coach, the firing appears to be related to a confrontation between the coach and the other team. The story went viral as "racists", the thread is inflamed with calls for the entire team to be banned from sports, and so I have been trying to balance out the coverage by showing links to his interview and to flying tortillas at UC Santa Barbara. I don't know what was in their hearts and minds, My take is we need less pride and more humility at this time. The middle needs to stand-up and push back against both extremes. The legacy and new media has us by the throat, we need to step back.

  13. Read the interview with the man who brought the tortillas, he's half-Mexican and a Democrat. This newscast was an example of gaslighting: https://coronadotimes.com/news/2021/06/23/coronado-resident-admits-to-buying-and-distributing-tortillas-answers-questions/

  16.  @vanta5911  Defending whom? Serna did a dumb thing, but I don't pretend to know his motives, but you do. Why? I don't like being manipulated by newscasts like this one, inflaming the public discourse without showing the whole story. The man who brought the tortillas was interviewed. Did you read it, or the follow-up piece in the San Diego Union newspaper? I hope you don't vote. BTW, Serna is a registered Democrat about to convert to the Socialist party, you would know that if you read his interview.

  19.  @luana1600  Quite the opposite, the person and reason why the tortillas were brought to the game are well known, it was told by the person who brought them, Luke Serna, in an interview with Coronado Times, and now broadcast on TV news. Your opinion as to the whether it was planned or not, and the intent, is all in your head, and his nothing to do with reality. Tortillas were for an anticipated WIN and celebration, just like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiX1xVdpXWc

  22. It's no secret, the man who brought the tortillas did it with full knowledge of the coach, and it was like celebrations from their old college days at UC Santa Barbara. Read the interview with him, he's half-Mexican, and yes, the team Captain is Black.

  23.  @robertcortez2976  I don't know what happened between the two teams after the game. It was a playoff, it went into over-time, and Coronado won at the buzzer. Emotions were very high, and it appears possible the tortillas may have actually deflected something even more serious from happening. But I don't know, so don't have an opinion about "firing" or "justice" in the matter. What motivated me was how both the legacy and new media ran with a story of "racism" in order to manipulate emotions for money, just like a Disney motive, and we fall for it, over and over again, perhaps because we want to. That's not progress. As for "Mexican" heritage, what does that mean to you? In Jr High I had a Jewish girlfriend who was born in Mexico, and during the Mexican-American war there's the famous San Patricios Brigade, whose ancestors are honored and march in Mexican parades, there was also a large immigration of Germans in the 1880s, and after the genocide of the native population, the Spanish imported Chinese and Filipino labor into Mexico, too. And of course, there are the hidden "cyrpto-Jews" of Mexico, who often have an "EZ and ES" at the end of their surname, but this is only a clue, and those with "EZ and ES" should look deeper into their heritage.

  25.  @bewareofsasquatch  "Debate" I am not debating, but pointing out details. It's you're opinion that firing the coach is "good". I don't have an opinion on that, nor am I defending the act, which was in poor judgement and immature. The issue for me is how the information is presented, and the rush to "judgement" by people who do not search, probe, and question before "publicly lynching" others. And that includes this media channel.

  26.  @aviavi4717  The team captain is African American, and he had no idea what was going on.

  34. Luke Serna brought them for a celebration of a win. He went to the high school and to UC Santa Barbara where "tortillas fly". Luke told the coach ahead of time and they thought it would be fun. The firing was the result of words and possible fight between teams, not the tortillas. Google Luke Serna for the full story. Here's a game at UCSB where tortillas fly in celebration of a goal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiX1xVdpXWc

  35.  @melor1975  Read the interview with the man who brought them. It appeared the two teams were about to fight, and the tortillas flew after that, might have even diverted a knuckled fight.

  38.  @noxoir3350 Luke Serna used poor judgement, but should the entire team, few if any knew in advance, have their win taken away and team sanctioned? That's not justice. Both team staffs went after each other after the game, that's the real issue, not the tortillas, which was immature and insensitive to bring, but everyone has overacted to that, and not speaking to the violence of the two team staffs after the game. When you look at the video of the end of the game, it appears tortillas were thrown and not fists, better tortillas than fists, don't you think?
    1
  39.  @noxoir3350  The finger wagging has to stop, too, there's an ugly history of Progressives doing that in the U.S., check out Prohibition. Look at the video, research the heated interaction between staff, and that to me is more an issue than fun with tortillas, which do make good frisbees. Did you look at the UCSB video I posted?

  63.  @saysay9330  Chinese, Filipino, and even Arab/Jewish, since native populations were almost 90% wiped out. Don't forget the massive immigration of Irish and Germans, too. DNA distribution in Mexico is quite diverse between city and rural areas. Mexico only owned San Diego for 28 years. 1821 to 1849. I'd also add, many of the Californios Spanish surnames are actually of Anglo origin, because in order to get married in the Spanish territories, you needed a Spanish surname. Just because you want something to be true, does not mean it is.
