I found this tweet disturbing, to be honest. It is not the type of thing, in my opinion, for a national commentator to be speculating on in a public forum like Twitter. It is too easy to be seen as race-baiting without facts to back it up. Yes, there is an intense rivalry between the USA and Mexico in terms of the national teams and yes, at times there have been some ugly incidents in stadiums. That does not mean everything is racially motivated, including a moment of madness at the end of a hard-fought playoff match that resulted in a loss for a high-powered high-money outfit. Marquez lost his head. That does not mean he did it because he hates Landon Donovan for being American. To draw that conclusion is disingenuous at best.
