Dozens of Latino students at Trinity University gathered on Sunday to watch the Super Bowl. Or not.
Football is not the biggest sport for Latino students, and therefore the reason for them to watch the game was rather different.
“I only watch the game because of the ads and the halftime show,” said Gabriel Mendez, a junior from Honduras. He tried to name players from the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, “Peyton Manning, Cam Newton, and #73, the guy from the ‘Blind Side’ movie, and that's it.”
At a Super Bowl watching party at City Vista, the new apartment complex right next to the Trinity campus, dozens of Trinity Latino students gathered around a bonfire, chatting, having barbecue and drinking beer, while the game was shown on giant television screens behind the grillers.
