@@christianroth3325 I swear to you that once I saw a soccer ref actually talk to the stadium and I'm trying to remember when. I'm not pulling your leg I'm just trying to remember if it was a popular league or an obscure one. Edit: Sorry mate I remember now and it was a little different. It was at a mexican soccer league match and the refs walking up to the sideline ref and then it was announced through the stadium speakers that the game would be called off if the fans kept yelling puto after a goal kick. To provide some context, puto a slang word used very loosely and slightly different depending on the latin american country. It has a bit of a double meaning, it can be a derogatory term for a gay men/it means essentially gay whore or a term to just slap on someone being annoying, stupid, or showing weakness. So think, bitch in American English or wanker in England English (Lol I just wanted to say that cause I know it looks silly sorry). So anyway FIFA went along and deemed the term to a be derogatory/homophobic and went with the former meaning I told you. I'm Hispanic American and I regularly go back to my parents' country cause of family business (Costa Rica/Puerto Rico, pura vida friend). And if I'm being honest in CR it's used like bitch in the states and also males that literally sleep around, so "slut" but not towards or specifically towards gay people. Just whore/slut in general, still not nice though but yeah. In PR it's used diversely for anyone someone doesn't like. I've been to Mexico a few times and I normally see it being used like "bitch" and not towards gay people but at the end of the day I don't make the rules and I'm sure people are hurt by the term regardless so who I am to judge, I just subscribe to the belief we need to chill and bit and not overly coddle ourself as a society but that's just me.
