Being a sports fan, I tried. I tried when I was going to Argentina occasionally for my job. I tried when I was working in the Middle East and surrounded by soccer fans. I just never got into it.
The only soccer I’ve liked were the snippets of matches on “Ted Lasso.” LOL
“’In terms of the chant, I want to make it very clear first and foremost, for our beliefs and our culture, it has no place in the game,’”
But, what about “inclusivity”?
What is the homophobic chant?
In a practice believed to have started among fans in the early 2000s, Mexican national team fans join in unison to shout a Spanish-language homophobic slur (”p***,” which roughly translates to “gay prostitute”) when an opposing goalkeeper puts the ball into play on a goal kick. The chant is supposedly meant to intimidate the ‘keeper and the opposing team.

What does puta mean? The perverts think everything is about them.
FAKE NEWS AGAIN>
But this game was in Vegas.
So most of the chanters were probably legal and illegal Mexicans living in the US.
Gosh, I think it was even before the early 2000’s, but that may be because I really started watching in earnest about the time we hosted the World Cup in ‘94.
They all call her “puta”, cause no one really knows her name....
To summarize your links, puta means prostitute, but the media defines it as a gay prostitute so they can label the fans and have another incident of anti-gay behavior.
The “o” at the end of “puto” implies it’s a male.
That’s mild compared to the type of soccer hooliganism we get in Europe every now and then (though Europe has cracked down on hooliganism after what happened at the former Heysel Stadium in 1985).
Fags...so gay.
Penalty closets....he he
A few years ago there was a U.S./Mexico qualifier in Columbus, OH. The game was in February, 2009. I was there with my whole family. It was freezing cold. The Mexicans nearly outnumbered the Americans even back then. As I recall, we won that game 2 zip, or as they chant now, dos a cero. Maybe we won due to the temperatures that day.
"Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible _________, you know, couldn't control himself. Why, he would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't... you know..."
My bad, 2001. Same score.
Yep, me too. “PUTO!”
Is that you Jennifer Lopez? Lol
Dos a Cero, started in the 2002 World Cup, when the US beat Mexico by that score in the Round of 16.
Need to watch Slapshot sometime soon.
“The “o” at the end of “puto” implies it’s a male.”
That brings back forgotten, suppressed, memories of getting C’s in introductory Spanish in both high school and college.
Yeah, I had the year wrong, but it was for the 2002 World Cup qualifier.
