Just paid over $70 to park in WC garage for this match. George Strait parking in WC is over $100. Makes season ticket parking in WC a bargain

In a practice believed to have started among fans in the early 2000s one outlet highlights a 2004 Olympic qualifier between the USA and Mexico Mexican national team fans join in unison to shout a Spanish-language homophobic slur ("p***," which roughly translates to "gay prostitute") when an opposing goalkeeper puts the ball into play on a goal kick. The chant is supposedly meant to intimidate the 'keeper and the opposing team.
The argument for years was that the word has multiple cultural meanings in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries and that it is not intended as a homophobic slur when used by fans in a stadium.
But there's no getting around the fact that it's a derogatory term that's demeaning to the gay community. FIFA and anti-discrimination groups have made that much clear, and the Mexican soccer federation (FMF) has also recognized it and is taking action.

If when the game gets out of hand, you'll hear plenty of puto chants.

Guarantee if it's more than 1 goal deficit with 10 minutes left you'll hear it.

They don't give af.

Oddest email I ever received from 12th Man

Step 1 just happened

Stop 1. Warning one. No comprede

No homophobia and no overheating the players. Can't believe they took a 3 minute break because of this mild heat. I know it's hotter than this when they play in Mexico and Brazil

Finally something to rival the horns down crybabyism

lol at mas puto being a slur.

I think the pandering by society is pretty comical, especially USMNT. Let me know how those rainbow jersey sells are looking. I'm certain they are approaching zero from the negative side.

All that to say, I use gay and ****** regularly and have for most of the past 38 years. Not once would I ever use them in a context to disparage an actual gay or ******ed person.

I think South Park explains this best when making fun of people who drive Harley's. You can say mas puto and it doesn't mean the actual translation, but I know that might be challenging for anglos or social justice warriors to understand.

You might not use those words directed at a person who is gay or has a disability, but if you use them as a pejorative, you are communicating your prejudices clearly to anyone in earshot. It's not too late to change that.

I'm not prejudice towards anyone except Liverpool fans.

All sarcasm aside, I understand your position and agree for the most part, however, if anyone gets offended by hearing someone use the word gay, ****** or mas puto, I think they are overly sensitive. Just my unpopular opinion while channeling my internal boomer mentality I guess.

Side note, when did CONCACAF start penalizing El Tri for the chant? Was it pre or post cancel culture?

I am not offended by the word and could care less. What does piss me off is that you idiots yell it knowing full well that they are going to stop the game and make us sit around watching nothing.

Dumb ass mexican fans. Find something else to yell morons.

Your post comes literally out of a joke on the Office 15 years ago.

Michael: I call everybody f****. Why would anyone find that offensive?
Toby: I think Oscar would like it if you just used "lame" or something.
Michael: But that's what f**** means!

“I have been calling people faggy since I was in junior high and I have never made this mistake…Maybe we can go out for a beer sometime, and you can tell me…how you do that to another dude”

And here's the thing: Whether or not you intend something to be a slur, if it's perceived as a slur, it is.

For real, Mexican fans and coaches and players are THE WOOOORST!

I forgot which poster said it, but it's true, and not just locally but internationally: NOBODY LIKES MEXICO.

Back in the '70-'80s they were popular, great World Cup hosts, great soccer and fan innovation, (tv, the patterned ball, the crowd wave, etc). They were looked at with potential, now they're looked at like how they act, like garbage.

Nobody likes Mexico, nobody enjoys playing Mexico, they are a fart on international soccer…
