Mexican soccer’s homophobic chant is back, and so are the insufficient attempts to stop it

It rattled the Rose Bowl on Saturday night, an inescapable feature of the 2019 Gold Cup’s opening-night soundtrack. And in one sense, it was alarming: Here, on international television, in front of some 65,000 people, was an anti-gay slur, the Spanish equivalent of “f*****,” being hurled in unison by hundreds of fans at an opposing goalkeeper.

Last year, in Russia, with a comprehensive crackdown that coerced cooperation out of the FMF. Global soccer’s governing body opened disciplinary proceedings after the chant accompanied German goal kicks during Mexico’s World Cup opener. FIFA not only fined the Mexican federation, but threatened more sanctions. It also promised to revoke Fan IDs – essentially tickets – and eject anybody caught yelling the slur.

The team responded with pleas to its supporters: “NO GRITES ‘P***.’” Prominent players reiterated the message. But their reasoning was problematic. “Let’s not risk another sanction,” Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez said. And Marco Fabián: “There are different rules now. It would be a shame for [fans] to not be allowed in. ... We should [try to] avoid punishments.” One reason CONCACAF might be keeping its Gold Cup messaging vague: Many executives and observers argue that reprimands targeting the chant only strengthen fans’ resolve. The climax, they’ve noticed, becomes even more forceful in defiance.

“Homophobic?” Is fear really an honest description, or is it disgust and revulsion?

Well, it could be a fear, but if the fear is rational, then it would not be a phobia.

“Homophobic?”

I’m not afraid of any twinkie or fairy. The proper term is HOMOMISIA, a revulsion of fagotry.

Same goes for Islamomisia.

I learned that word from another FReeper.

I like the way a taxi driver in Juarez Mexico said it IN ENGLISH when some men did not want to go to a local “boys town” where the girls were.

“YOU QUEER-S-S-S! YOU DON’ LIKE GIRLS YOU QUEER-S-S-S!”

Specifically, “puto” is a male whore - one who prostitutes himself to other men. It is not a term of endearment - thus the putos who happen to write for slate are upset.

Now we’re seeing who the “protected elite class” is!

It’s not illegals.
It’s not Hispanics.
It’s not Mexicans.

It’s P_ _ _ ‘s apparently.

Maricon is actually kind of a nice way of saying it these days.

Pipiluyo was another ‘cute’ way of saying it.

There’s other words out there a bit more harsh.

Yahoo writers are paid 1.5 cents per 100 views of the article. One-thousand views earns the writer 15 dollars. No writer worth a dollar writes for Yahoo. What readers get at Yahoo are yahoos who can’t write. This article is typical of Yahoo. The stupid-ass writer cannot explain who, what, when, where or why.

If one wants to read convoluted crap that makes no sense, read Yahoo.

I think they way to flip this on them is. “Why are you leftist idiots okay with so many homophobes breaking and entering our country?”

Puto is “male prostitute that services strictly male clientele.” At least that’s what it meant in the 80’s when I was the solo white boy (‘wood) living in East L.A.

I love when the left has a wreck with itself!

Reminds me of when Eskimos (multiculturalism) kill whales (PETA, animal rights), lefties don’t know what to do!

The number of people in the world who agree with us are much greater in number than most people realize.
