Mexico fined by Fifa over a "homophobic chant"

[Crimson Dynamo]

55bFs-St8m8

"PUTO" is what they chant to opposing goalies as they take a goal kick (lots of English clubs sing "yor sh1t aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh" as the kick is taken. Rangers fans for example sing "paedos, paedos, paedos" to the celtic fans and so forth.(the idea is to wind up opposibg fans and is not some comment on society)

Mexicans have long shouted a slang word for a male sex worker at games, which gay rights groups argue is homophobic.

FIFA slapped the Mexicans with a CHF 10,000 fine for what it called “discriminatory and insulting chants” during their surprise 1-0 win over Germany on Sunday.

The chant was widely heard at Mexico games in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when FIFA took no action, but the governing body has since launched a clamp-down. Other Latin American teams, including Argentina and Chile, have also been fined.

Good old Fifa...

[Livia]

Oh dear, we can't have anyone offended, can we.

Does this mean that swear words derogatory to women will also be banned and incur fines? Or is it just words that upset gay people?

It's ****ing madness.

[Nicky91]

silly homophobic mexicans then, ruining their best moment (winning over world champions Germany) with this

[Livia]

Oh Nicky....

[Nicky91]

Oh Nicky....

it was mexico's best moment ever, winning against Germany was so unexpected and a absolute Delight

i hate that something awful as this has to ruin the positivity for them

[Crimson Dynamo]

it hasnt, they dont give 2 hoots

LT pretending that the "Paedos" chant isn't sectarian / based in the idea that Catholic priests are paedophiles.

Come on LT. I mean, I know the sectarianism / violence and rivalry between the two clubs is significantly diminished since Rangers was cancelled, but let's not start pretending that Old Firm chants are based harmless friendly banter :facepalm:. I mean it might fool some of the Southern lot, but I grew up in Ayrshire ffs :joker:.

[Marsh.]

Omg, how dare society try to move on from racism and homophobia. It's only a laugh guys.

[bots]

Fifa bringing attention to it will likely just make the crowd do it more, let's see what happens at the next game. It's interesting that they fine Mexico for this and yet turn a blind eye to sepp blatter attending a world cup match when banned entirely from all matters related to football, including attending matches :idc:

It’s amazing how the free speech argument only comes up in situations like this.

Good, i dislike cults of all flavours and catholicsm is one of the vilest of all

[Kizzy]

It's foozbal... there will be chants, it's (moslty) men being all base and such howling like bald chimps at anything and everything in 'support' of their chosen team.

There needs to be a equal football field though, if one offensive chant is banned they all should be.

[Toy Soldier]

Other than certain football fanatics. Apparently.

[Northern Monkey]

Yeah this stuff happens a footy games.Last one i went to many moons ago was against some Russian team and the Leeds fans were shouting “Ooh ah Chechny-ya!Ooh ah Chechnya” and “He’s just a **** Russian bastard!”

[Twosugars]

lovely churches tho

Yes, how dare Fifa make a concentrated effort to stamp out homophobia from a game that has a horrid past and tempestuous present with homophobia.

[Beso]

The celtic paedo thing stems from the abuse of cetic youth players that the club covered up for years....

That will be why russia got the gig and why saudi and iran are partaking this time..
..good old fifa.:joker:

[Nicky91]

also happens here in holland, abuse of dutch youth players at clubs like Vitesse, NAC Breda in their youth teams

both clubs had those youth coaches who sexually abused the youth players sacked and they have no other job ever since that incident

[Greg!]

Good! A lot of football fans seem to be stuck in the dark ages and it's about time they learned it's not acceptable. They're grown adults ffs

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes and fining a nation some pennies for ribbing a goalie that he is a sex worker is the way forward (in Russia)

I'm not sure what you're getting at, and until I do I can't possibly answer you.

If everyone stopped being so terribly offended over the least little thing, then we're never going to be able to deal with real cases of homophobia and racism.

[Toy Soldier]

Have they been fined? of course not.....

Rangers? I hope not. If they fine them £10 they won't be able to afford their half-time oranges :joker:

microaggressions are racist and homophobic though

it may seem like a “little thing” because it’s so normalized in society

[Crimson Dynamo]

Are all male sex workers in SA gay does anyone know?

[Tom4784]

I'm not sure what you're getting at, and until I do I can't possibly answer you.

But as a straight person who are you to dictate what is homophobia and what isn't?

[montblanc]

idk are they

[Crimson Dynamo]

idk are they

well isnt it crucial to the argument?

[ArgyESC]

It's just disrespectful to throw insults to the opposing team, no matter what kind of insult tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

er have you ever been to a football match?

[montblanc]

well isnt it crucial to the argument?

i’m pretty sure these hyper masculine soccer fans aren’t chanting about a straight male sex worker

[ArgyESC]

er have you ever been to a football match?

Like once or twice, I don't know much about football. I just expressed my opinion on the matter.

[Crimson Dynamo]

to be fair if you look at the videos its a good mix of men women and kids that go to international games

ok I understand

[montblanc]

misogyny isn't gender or age exclusive?

But if cases like this allow homophobia and all the other forms of bigotry in the world to remain normalised, it does nothing to help the bigger forms of it.

Yes, like all these nations with appalling human rights records towards lgbt community....why do fifa allow them to participate while fining a nation for something they have no control over.....hypocricy and greed.

Why does the link in the OP take me to an article about a Grandmother in El Salvador

Because Fifa only have control over what happens at the games. Obviously.

If thats the case they should fine themselves then for failing to stop the chants.

Fifa controls who can and cant take part, its thier cup ffs....:shrug:
