It’s also so easy to eradicate if you take it seriously. Someone yelled it at a Whitecaps game and I just turned around and said “hey, we don’t do that here” and that was it.
But of course, FIFA is entirely spineless; the chant doesn’t interfere with their money, so they don’t care.
@julesboykoff.bsky.socialTonight FIFA squandered an opportunity to stand up homophobia in football. Instead, when fans chanted the homophobic “puto” chant, FIFA did nothing. FIFA ignored its *own guidelines* to follow a 3-step protocol to 1) pause, 2) suspend, & 3) abandon play, if necessary. FIFA’s word means so little.
