“The Angels completed an agreement with free agent right-hander Joel Pineiro on a two-year deal on Friday night,” according to the Angels website.
Pineiro is from Puerto Rico. 15 out of 38 players on the Angels’ active roster are Latinos. That means almost 40% of their active roster is Latino.
When you consider how many immigrant bashers live in Orange County, you have to figure quite a few of them will be attending Angels games this year. There they will pay top dollar to see a team that has a roster that is almost half Latino and is owned by a Latino, Arte Moreno.
Sucks to be a racist Angels fan!
How many of these “Latinos” are Mexicans? Other than the Spanish language what do any of them have in common with Mexicans?
#1,
Well, they are good baseball players, and many are immigrants.
And most of them have native ancestors.
Now stop hating and learn to say “Viva los Angels!”
Art, The are all here LEGALLY!
But according to Moreno they play in Los Angeles.
Viva Los Angeles de Los Angeles de Anaheim!
i am an illegal immigrant basher but I trust the Angel players are here legally so I will continue to root for them! Now, does that make me a racist Angel fan?
That’s why I call them the L.atin A.merican Angels of Anaheim!
Fans don’t care if the players are juiced up and breaking drug laws so why would they care if they are missing a tourist visa or two? I think the whole team could be illegals and if they won the fans would forgive them.
Is a name change coming?
Tacos instead of Angels?
Would that not get people all fired-up.
most people in orange county are asian now, do they account for the asians being racist???
Ryan,
Asians are not the majority in Orange County. I don’t think they ever will be. Latinos have more kids per household.
Right now there are more minorities than white residents in the O.C. However white residents remain the majority.
In the near future I expect Latinos to become the dominant demographic in the O.C.
