Most of you like myself were sadden and heartbroken to what has happen in Haiti over these past couples of days. The news coming from there is that tens of thousands are feared dead after the earthquake disaster. All of us here have deep sympathy, thoughts & prayers to the victims of the earthquake. We do care about what's going on down there....well except a certain personality who shall remain nameless whom made a classless comments about Haiti and their people.
Nevertheless, the Soccer World here is no stranger to Haitians and Haitian-Americans in the U.S. From Joe Gaetjens to Wyclef Jean to Jozy Altidore, they are as much part of the hearts & souls in the American soccer. Plus the likes of Emmanuel Sanon, Philippe Vorbe & Haiti's memorable 1974 World Cup team to Puerto Rico Islander's Fabrice Noel & Real Salt Lake's & Austin Aztex's Jean Alexandre are very much in part of our world as well as our culture and should never be ignored.
