USMNT-Mexico Nations League final halted for anti-gay chant, fans throwing objects
ESPN ^ | 7 June 2021` | Adriana Garcia

Nations League final in Denver between the United States and Mexico was marred by unruly fan behavior that included objects thrown onto the field and a brief pause in the game because of fans using an anti-gay chant.

Referee John Pitti resumed the match after three minutes as players on both sides pleaded with the crowd to stop using the chant.

This was the second tournament match to be halted due to anti-gay chants at Empower Field at Mile High. Mexico's semifinal win over Costa Rica was also briefly paused. That match also saw several fans ejected from the stadium

Should the chant continue to be used, the referee has the authority to send the players to the locker rooms and can also call for the match to be abandoned.

If so, by rights it should go back to the original owner. And it isn't messyco. It would have to bypass messyco and go to American Indian tribes.

Messyco has no standing in the issue either way. How do you say "shut up" in messycan?

And my nephews both play now including one just started high school and they have big brawls and fights at the high school games between the players when my nephew’s team gets very far ahead.

By the time all that was finished no one even cared who won or not.

What a game.

We did not ‘’steal’’ the Southwest from Mexico. That's utter bulls**t.

Read about The Treaty of Hidalgo in 1848.

Callate.(shut up) It didn't belong to ‘’Native Indians’’ either.

The Clovis Theory has been challenged many times and more then enough archaeological exists that shows Vikings arrived some time before or about the time Asians(who Indians really are) about the same time).

I have as well and I’m sorry but flooding the country with thousands of unskilled people who will work cheaper than Americans drives down wages for millions of middle and lower middle class Americans.

I’m one American who will NEVER forget May 1, 2006 when thousands of Mexicans marched in streets all across American waving their damned flag and yelling ‘’Si se puede’’ (Yes we can).

I was being sarcastic. Should have put /s.

I did write some other things, though that could have tipped you off.

The fact is that Mexico showed little interest in her northern possessions with perhaps the exception of Texas. Central Mexico, the heartland can be a pleasant and prosperous place to live. As you travel north, the lands become deserts. Few Mexicans wanted to trade life in civilized and prosperous Mexico for a hardscrabble life on the northern frontier.

It’s easy to forget that Mexico despite being younger as a nation has a longer history. They had a university up and running 85 years before Harvard. And because of mineral wealth, Mexico was far wealthier than the 13 colonies. Our dollar was based on the coins issued by the Mexico City mint and Mexican ‘dollars’ were legal tender until the 1850s.

All of these advantages were negated by the crappy politics and politicians that Mexico has endured pretty much from its founding as a nation.

The irony is that gold was discovered in California, right as Mexico was in the midst of losing it militarily to a very small detachment of the U.S. Army. Utah being settled by Mormons ironically hoping to get out of the reach of the U.S. government. Nevada became a state early pretty much because of silver discoveries and Arizona/New Mexico weren’t admitted as states until 1912.

My apologies FRiend. As I said Mexican school children are taught they we ‘’stole’’ the Southwest from them and their mission is to ‘’out breed us’’ by popping out kids when they get here.

It infuriates me to no end how they’re given free health care, free education, how as native born Americans we have to “Press 1 for English’’. I never do. If you wait a few seconds while on the phone when this happens the English speaking voice comes back on.

In in light of the largess (or stupidity) in Americans being so generous in allowing these parasites access to OUR social welfare systems they pull $22 billion a year out of this nation’s economy and send it back to Mexico.

—” a nice girl in my class get her shin broken during PE.”

I worked with two former NFL players.

An old one played before WWII, still in OK condition.

A younger one, you could not count the scars and broken parts.
All of his teeth GONE! Scars on his knees and a big scar down the side of his back. All in a few short seasons.

I attended school with Gary Steger, the school had zero liability. He died a few years back, his life and parents’ life destroyed.

Tell me about it. My mom during her last illness (at age 99 1/2) was allowed absolutely no help from local or state agencies. Her Social Security check made he ineligible. Meanwhile, illegals, not just legal immigrants, were pretty much given free health care, and a free phone, and access to free internet.

My granddaughter, born in St Louis, MO got to pay out-of-state tuition at San Diego State for two years. Meanwhile students who had no right to be here at all paid in-state tuition.

And then there is the two-sided sheet of paper I get with every medical insurance statement stating my rights to appeal, in maybe 15 languages...

That was a fantastic game, one of the best I’ve seen from the USMNT in a long time.

It’s always great to beat Mexico.

How cool was it that Claudio Reyna’s 18 year old son scored the first goal? It was a terrific game.
