LA Times - Comments

In today's L.A. Times, there's a column about the US/Mexico soccer game that took place at the Rose Bowl yesterday (US lost 4 - 2).  It's an interesting story and one that made me sympathetic to the US team and the larger point the story was making - mind you, I don't follow soccer and am completely disinterested in soccer.  More interesting than the story itself are the reader comments.  It's disheartening to see so many racist, ignorant and just flat out dumb comments people leave behind.  I'm not sure why I spend time reading the story comments.  Maybe, I'm hoping to find a cogent, intelligent and/or thoughtful point.  I guess I'll keep looking.
