Mexico is threatening fans caught using an anti-gay chant at any of its games with a five-year ban.
Mexico is not messing around -- the country's Football Federation is threatening any fan caught using an anti-gay chant at any of its matches with a 5-year ban.said Monday during a news conference ..."We can’t tolerate discriminatory acts. We can’t play in empty stadiums. We invite our fans to adopt these measures."
The chant -- believed to have emerged in 2003 during a pre-Olympic tournament in Guadalajara -- is when fans of the Mexican national team join in unison to shout the word"p***" ... which roughly translates to"gay prostitute." FIFA's disciplinary committee has already begun doling out punishment -- back in November, they ordered Mexico’s team to play its next 2 home World Cup qualifiers without fans.
