When the Mexican national soccer team, otherwise known as El Tri, visits Soldier Field, it’s cause for celebration on the lakefront. Fans tailgate and play loud music in the parking lots, and the matches are full of color and passion.
Unfortunately, something unsavory frequently accompanies the festivities.
During the 2019 Gold Cup final against the United States and a 2022 friendly with Ecuador, El Tri fans chanted a homophobic slur at the opposing goalkeeper. Two years ago, the Ecuador match was paused in the 81st minute as part of FIFA’s three-step system aimed at eliminating discriminatory incidents by fans, specifically the homophobic chant.

Ha ha ha ha. Those little brown people are not in lockstep with the Leftist agenda. Three cheers for team Tri.

I thoroughly dislike el Tri, but I’ve always found this to be humorous and well within the bounds of routine soccer fan chants.

I’ve been in bars with the El Tri games on TV, even I yell it out, the Mexico fans there love me. ;)

Good grief! It’s Pride month. It’s a compliment. A goalkeeper should be proud of being called A Puto, even if he’s rally not and s just faking it.

Almost made me want to root for El Tri.

I get mildly curious but no way in hell will I read Business Insider. They are a liberal rag with nothing to do with business and they are not on the inside.

I didn’t read it either. US soccer fans know what the whining is about.
