Sebastien De La Cruz Sings National Anthem Again, Sticks It to Haters

Sebastien De La Cruz returned to the national stage last night to sing the national anthem, two days after being subjected to racist and hate-filled Tweets . The 11-year old was back behind the microphone (introduced by San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro ) despite the fact that many people online reacted in shock and disgust over someone with Mexican heritage being given such a platform. But De La Cruz handled the controversy with grace and maturity , the same way he handled this rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner: Sebastien De La Cruz Sings National Anthem Said Spurs coach Greg Popovich prior to tip-off: “Given the fact that there’s still a significant element of bigotry and racism in our nation, I’m not surprised. It still plagues us, obviously. And what I was surprised by was how proud these idiots are of their ignorance, by printing their names next to their comments.” Of De La Cruz, the coach added: “He’s a class act. Way more mature than most his age. And as much as those comments by the idiots sadden you about your country, he makes you feel that the future could be very bright.” Behind a combined 55 points from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, meanwhile, Miami went on to win Game Four, 109-93. We’re tied at two games apiece!

Donald Trump Turns 67 Today

It’s Donald Trump’s birthday today. The man is 67. A real estate mogul by trade, Trump has become a household name with a series of other features such as Celebrity Apprentice, which is still on somehow. The billionaire king of PR stunts and his physics-defying hair have been wildly successful, yet he becomes more of a caricature of himself with each passing year. When he’s not filing frivolous lawsuits, lambasting President or Obama or flirting with a 2016 presidential bid , he … okay, that’s pretty much all he does lately. Love him or hate him, he is what he is at this point, and it’s ridiculous. See above photo of Donald Trump and Lil Jon. That about sums it up right there. So enjoy your Friday, big fella. You earned it. In related, but prettier and less egomaniacal news, it’s also Lucy Hale’s birthday on this 14th day of June!
