They told us they could only display the game but not the audio because if it’s in Spanish, “some people will be scared and offended.” We watched it in mute. A few weeks later we returned to watch another soccer game (English audio) and they refused to put the game because people might get offended. Instead we went to Burgers & Beer on Imperial Avenue and they had the game on the big screens. Why won’t they put soccer games at the I.V. Mall Burgers & Beer? Huge international soccer tournaments start this summer and I don’t want to be looked at as a criminal for asking to put the game on. — Soccer Hooligan, Heber Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:05:00 PDT By KARINA LOPEZ http://www.ivpressonline.com/ivp-inaugural-awards-banquet-celebrates-success-of-local-student-athletes-20130619,0,340518.story?track=rss The athletic community across the Imperial Valley gathered to celebrate the success of various student athletes at the Athlete of the Week Inaugural Awards Dinner here Wednesday.

Others are so at home around canals that the idea that their deceptively calm surfaces could be lethal is something that just can’t happen … to them.
