The Chilean flag with its white star on a blue background resembles that of the Lone Star state.
The following day, the Chilean national anthem was drowned out by music by the rapper Pitbull before Chile`s match against Argentina.

The resolution calls on lawmakers "to reject the notion that the Chilean flag, although it is a nice flag, can in any way compare to or be substituted for the official state flag of Texas and urge all Texans not to use the Republic of Chile flag emoji in digital forums when referring to the Lone Star Flag of the great State of Texas".
