Mexican Soccer Slurs

"¡Puto!," many of Mexico's supporters chant laughingly during goal kicks by the opposing team's goal keeper (see video from a 2013 U.S.-Mexico game for an example). The word is slang for "fag" or "coward." Some say its use in soccer is a cultural phrase that means cowardly and is not directed at gays, but the meaning is clearly designed to mock the opponent as weak and unmanly.

Why. Does. Mexico. Consider. Being. Gay. An. INSULT?!

This is exactly what we're trying to stop, yet everyone seems to want to drag us back in for more. GAH!!!

Comment your thoughts on the Mexican slurs, please and thanks.

Oh my God stop already! -Totoro

P.S. Brazil is totally going to win the cup!
