Cortez = Anglo? "Straw man" I think not you liar. I brought forward the history of the Republic of Texas not of the US. I do know if everything I was taught was a lie there were then no Hispanics listed as fallen at the Alamo, there were none fallen in that grand struggle. Take your agenda elsewhere it don't play here. My grandmother's brother was wounded at Columbus! The government of Mexico kills native Americans to this very day!

Just another "Anglo Lie"? Ay caramba! 'Mission Betty' girls beat Mexican guys in hockey Last Updated Mon Feb 18 14:00:37 2002 QUEBEC CITY - More than 2,000 young hockey players have gathered in Canada for the world's biggest peewee competition, and one team has already made it into the record books just by stepping on the ice. "Mission Betty," a U.S. team, is the first all-girl squad to compete in the Quebec International Peewee Tournament. Manon Rheaume coaches the girls They played their first game Sunday against Team Puebla from Mexico, at the Coliseum in Quebec City. "We're just here to prove that girls can play hockey, just like guys," said one young woman. "It's nerve-wracking, pretty much," admitted a teammate as she laced up her skates. "We just can't lose to girls," said one boy from Mexico before the puck was dropped. The outcome wasn't even close. Mission Betty cruised to a 4-0 victory, delighting many in the roaring crowd of 10,000. "She used to be a ballerina, when she was little," laughed an excited father, beaming as he watched his daughter stick-handling with skill and grace on the ice below. In the past, young women have broken barriers and wound up playing various positions on teams made up mainly of boys. But now a team of 12 and 13-year-old girls from the United States has formed their own roster. The "Mission Betty" Web site describes its players as a "dream team" of girls who are "role models for all young women athletes – new heroines on a traditionally all-male frozen battleground." The Quebec championship is looked at by many as hockey's version of the Little League World Series, with 100 teams from 16 countries taking part. "We are very excited about introducing a complete team of girls into our tournament this year," said the competition's general manager, Patrick Dome. "The historical significance for women's ice hockey is simply phenomenal." Most people in the stands were clearly behind Mission Betty, partly because the coach is a Quebec star, Manon Rheaume – the first woman ever to play in the NHL. Many of the girls said they hope to follow in Rheaume's footsteps, going to the Olympics and perhaps one day playing as a professional. Written by CBC News Online staff cbc.ca
