Now THAT'S entertainment!

[Hot Tabasco]

They need to start using penalty boxes....

[JonPreston]

This isn’t who we are.

[chuckee]

So, I suppose the Bud Light vendor in Mexican arenas gets combat pay

[Leep]

Will there be investigations? Ah haha.

The match was in Las Vegas where Mexico was the home team

[Sirius Lee]

The whole world has figured out that American under dopey Joe is pushing faggotry and they’re not having any of it.

[TalBlack]

Play was halted in the 90th minute because of homophobic chants

It’d be interesting to know what sorts of other chants have stopped play. Also a team can be fined for stuff the fans said ? I’d pay that one when hell froze.

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

Maybe I need to reconsider my belief that soccer is too boring to watch.

[Ge0ffrey]

Why is “Mexico” fined? The fans said it. Is “Mexico” supposed to compel speech? Is “Mexico” in this article the team or the government?

“Now THAT’S entertainment!”

Snicker - good stuff! Might even get me to watch some soccer.

I will be watching the Dodgers game tonight!

Should be fun.

[pas]

Did they start chanting Modello?

[dfwgator]

I’m surprised the US Team wasn’t wearing their “Pride” Uniforms.

[albie]

Wells Fargo is actually a “proud sponsor of the Mexican Soccer Team”. Hahahahahahahahaha Dbags.

Four players were ejected and the match was cut short by the referee after repeated homophobic chants. The referee also showed eight yellow cards, fans threw beers onto the field of play and Weston McKennie's shirt was ripped.

The American players responded accordingly:

[FLNittany]

I think the NY Yankees should combine Pride Night with Bat Night. Give the bats out upon entering the stadium, and just see what happens.

'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,' Callaghan said. 'It has no place in our value system.'

Makes me want to root for Mexico. No wonder the rest of the world hates us now.

Went to a fight one time, and a soccer match broke out.

[alternatives?]

The media doesn’t identify what the slur is. They just label the fans as homophobic and doesn’t let the reader decide. That is happening more and more on a wide range of behaviors. The media is trying to be the arbiter of right and wrong and being very judgmental.

“’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”?
