Chivas USA is the secondary MLS team in the Los Angeles market. They share the soccer-specific stadium Home Depot Center in the adjacent suburb of Carson with the much more popular and prolific LA Galaxy. While the Galaxy sell out their home games (perhaps) by virtue of success (multiple MLS Cups) and fame (David Beckham until this year, Landon Donovan, etc), Chivas USA plays a lot of home games in front of an echo chamber of empty seats. No grassroots fans from Los Angeles have taken up the cause of this upstart squad despite the familiar brand name.
Chivas de Guadelajara is maybe the most renowned and prolific Mexican club team. The owner, Jorge Vergara, who is technically a celebrated drug smuggler, bought into an MLS franchise with the expectation of grabbing the "American" market-share of hispanic fans. The team has been abysmal, and attendance reflects that.
Vergara, a Mexican big-wig, saw an untapped market. He purchased full holding control of the MLS team this year and quickly declared a new strategy to bring this team "up to speed", if you will:
This is a toned-down level of ethno-centricity and HBD on behalf of the "victims" of such crimethink. The mexican hundred-millionaire believes that hispanics have a faster speed and superior skill-set against individual non-mexican players. So, he seeks a team full of mexicans (hispanic-Americans) that embody his desired "style" of play. He speaks outrightly for it.
Chivas USA is now down to maybe 8 out of 20 roster players that are "non-hispanic", and they have exclusively jettisoned their previous starters who were not so mountain-gnomadically inclined. This is under the pretense that the Mexicans in Los Angeles will flock to a team of their own. The team's three MLS draft picks were hispanic.
I don't fundamentally disagree with this idea, but I wish the racially-charged motivation could hold true with any other club (or sport). I wish that a basketball team could publicly pine for a "White" style of game, or soccer for that matter could idealize a "White" fashion of play. I also wish that an invasive foreign culture would not impose itself on my country.

"They tried to imitate the MLS style, which is more physical," Vergara said of the team. "They forgot to use the technical advantage and the speed of the Mexican and the Hispanic players. We didn't play like the U.S.; we didn't play like the Mexicans. We didn't play like nothing."
