Mi gente, I need some insight/clarity on this issue.
I was just in DR last weekend and was chatting with some people at a bar that was watching the Eurocup games. I asked what team they was rooting for, all the DR's said Spain, I asked why, the majority responded because it is the "Motherland".
Its ironic to me how could some Latin Americans still be proud to proclaim their alliance to a country that brought only disease, theft, and misery to this region. How fast do we forget history! (yes, I know it was no picnic living in this region before the Spaniards got there)
I don't have nothing personal against Spain, but to be a fan for the simple reason of calling it the "Motherland" seems odd to me.
How say you????
P.S. Go Germany!!! (no I am not German)
