I’ve heard from Mexican friends it’s meant more like “bitch” and IMO probably directed only at FIFA at this point
Yes it’s used like Americans use bitch but it means whore. I’m Portuguese we do the same all the time
I’m all for stopping games and punishing fans for slurs being used, but this seems like a really weird one to draw the line at.
I agree, if they are saying ‘puta’ then it’s not homophobic at all, it’s crude and unnecessary but hardly homophobic
This is my only point, also those players are football fans too and I bet they did it at some point in their life
