Mexico's Football Related Random Thoughts Thread - Volumen Cincuenta Dos

I don't understand how some people keep defending that chant like it's something embedded in our culture. Not even because of political correctness, but the chant is just dumb, corny, and childish. The thing is that now many people see screaming that every time the opposing goalie kicks the ball as part of the experience of attending a México game.

 

Not the actual chant part.. The actual part that is embedded is the part when you try and restrict someone to not doing something and somehow we feel we are the king of the world and don't give a shit..

My problem is that everywhere you see an article about this chant they lazily label it as only Homophobic, they dont even present the origin and meaning of the word. A word that in Latin means "to think" and then got assimilated to prostitution.

But in Mexico its mains uses is to illustrate rage and protitution..

"Me da un puto coraje la injusticias que hay en nuestro pais." is that homophobic?


"Los vecinos trabajan en un putero por la Coahuila." is that homophobic?

They try to assimilate it to the F word that rhymes with maggots, when in Mexico they do have a word for it "puñal.."

 

Great discussion fam. Thank you for keeping this civil.

 

This. It's part of the game and contributes to the fun.

At the Rose Bowl 2 years ago, I sat next to a group of the parents of some of the mascots the players walk out with. The kids returned like a minute after the match started, and sat next to their parents. These were white and asian parents, mind you, so they most likely don't speak spanish. When the Jamaican GK kicked off the first time, they raised their hands up and shouted p*to, along with everyone else. Overheard one of the dads comment on how it was so much fun that the entire stadium does it.

Those dudes don't understand what it means but they understand it's something the Mexican crowd does for fun.

Like Colima has said, the people who chant it at games and are now being told to not chant it will now be the ones chanting the loudest.

 

Sure, but the context in which it's being used isn't outrage. It's mocking, and it's mocking the keeper based on a sexual preference.

 

Mans either has no self awareness or is completely self aware.

 

My point is that it is lazily labeled as homophobic slur when it isn’t the usual term for it in Mexico..

 

What's psg gonna do tho, bench him and ******** up their Champions league chances even more, or sell him which is totally what he doesn't want at all.

 

Eduardo Herrera is such a troncazo

 

Wow, Cruz Azul is not choking this cup game away

 

I don’t understand how Renato keeps getting on the field, he sucks.

 

So they should stop playing games in the states? Lol

 

No, just kick out the people acting a fool.

Gignac is @Serg33 . Martin and Aguilar are @Sanchito and I giving moral support.

 

Hence my choice of wording and use of "usual" "as only"...

Don't be lazy...

 

And hence my problem with media not explaining in detail what is really going with that word.. i.e. what is the meaning and origin of the word..How the chant originated..

Puñal, joto, maricon.. are homophobic slurs in Mexico and dont probably have other meaning..

Puto has various meanings and uses in Mexico..

And just a disclaimer I agree it has no place in our culture as a fan base and am aware that what context it is being used..

I just have a problem when someone says it is strictly homophobic slur..

I come from a place where we use it to illustrate a feeling and prostitution(describing someone that has multiple suitors or relationships, and charging for sex)

i.e.

Me da una puta risa..

El/Ella anda de puto/a con otra/o y otra/o..

Es puta, la llegan a visitar multiples personas y les cobra...

That doesn't make me homophobic..

 

This. It's gotten old and frankly embarrassing. It makes our fanbase look like we are a bunch of 11 year olds.
