During a recent Group A World Cup match against Czechia, Mexico fans were heard yelling a notorious anti-gay slur, continuing a persistent issue for the national team’s supporters. As Cyd Zeigler reported for Outsports, observers noted the homophobic chant around the 39th minute of the game, a detail also corroborated by the Associated Press. The chant, “puto,” traditionally yelled during the opposing goalkeeper’s goal kicks, is a term meant to demean men by implying they sleep with other men.
