Actually I'm just reading it, in Spain that word does not mean anything remotely homophobic. It's like saying to a player.


"The argument for years was that the word has multiple cultural meanings in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries and that it is not intended as a homophobic slur when used by fans in a stadium. But there's no getting around the fact that it's a derogatory term that's demeaning to the gay community. FIFA and anti-discrimination groups have made that much clear and the Mexican soccer federation (FMF) has also recognized it and is taking action."
