Found this http://www.wakingthered.com/2012/2/14/2798792/kevin-huezo-forced-out-of-mexico "A Pachuca U-20 player with a promising future, named Kevin Huezo, a native of Santa Ana, California, has dual citizenship. In recent weeks, the youngster received threatening calls from unknown persons in Guadalajara. This caused the boy to pack his bags and abandon the Tuzos. Last week, Huezo went to the U.S. because of the relationship with those responsible for the national team of that country and he's now seeking an MLS team." "They tell me that in the United States, they have permanent contact with the Mexican-American players who belong to the Mexican clubs and make them see that if they feel their safety is in danger, after the violent events in Mexico lately, they'll help them finalise their contract and emigrate back to US football."
brb gonna go make some prank phone calls to dual citizens in my threatening drug cartel voice. kidding, kidding... that is terrible but hopefully he can latch on with a team up here.
