Mexico fans hit with FIFA ban at World Cup qualifier for homophobic slurs
Jerusalem Post ^ | 18 June 2021 | Reuters

Mexico fans will be barred from attending their country's first two home 2022 World Cup qualifiers after making homophobic chants during two Olympic qualifying games in March, FIFA said in a statement on Friday.

Mexico's games against Jamaica on Sept. 2 and Canada on Oct. 7 in the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying will be played in empty stadiums as a result of the sanctions.

De Luisa said there is a risk to Mexico's involvement in the 2026 World Cup - which they are set to co-host with the United States and Canada - if fan behavior does not improve.

The penalties will only increase until the fans improve themselves.

Coming soon, brain wave checks for homophobes, Christians, actual soccer fans... Available at the gate.

Sounds like measures that would be taken when the players are children, not grown men.

—”Like what?”

IIRC they used the Spanish male gender of whore.

And I had always heard that the Euros are so “open-minded”?

Will they ban the final scene of Al Pacino’s Scarface? What a scene to watch, with him calling the attacking mobsters “f$!#ing ma*^$@?!es” over and over while firing his M16.

As I understand it, it wasn’t the players, it was the fans. I certainly hope the fans don’t surround the stadium chanting ‘puto’. That would be terrible.

I confess I don’t understand the rabid enthusiasm for the game. I went to a mall in Costa Rica and there were four or five sets on showing different soccer games and each had large audiences. And one time while at daughter-in-law’s house the Costa Rica team scored a goal and the whole neighborhood erupted in cheers.

Won’t this anger the fans and make them hate homos even more?

I’m a Mexico fan now.

But, also, what if they are illegal alien refugees?

Doesn’t this violate the human rights of illegal alien refugees to chant at soccer games?
