The following video is not Latin American-related per se, yet it involves a Latino athlete. (A possibly tenuous connection but please bear with me!)
The Philadelphia Flyers season home opener was Saturday night and before the game the ceremonial dropping of the puck was held. Visiting New York Rangers captain Scott Gomez (of Colombian and Mexican heritage) and Mike Richards lined up at center ice with special guest Sarah “hockey mom” Palin. As you can see below the Philly fans were less than thrilled but not before fellow Alaskan Gomez gave a special greeting to the V.P. candidate:
For the record, Gomez had an assist as the Rangers won 4-3 and continued their unbeaten start to the season.
