When Brazil’s goalie Julio Cesar prepared to blast a goal kick during last Tuesday’s game against Mexico, fans raised their pitch and, just before the point of contact, took a big collective breath and screamed the Spanish word for male prostitute or whore.
How it’s calling someone “Son of a Whore” discriminatory? I agree it’s insulting but where is the discrimination? Is it towards sons or towards whores?
So what was the chant? And how did the crowd react?

How is that discriminatory? It’s tradition, happens every big game.
“it’s tradition” has been used to justify all manner of horrible behavior. It’s not the defense you think it is
I don’t disagree with you but I still wonder how much culture should evolve spontaneously vs how much it should be intentionally sculpted/pruned
Culture is people - so people saying “this is wrong” is just as valid a part of shaping culture as people doing what they want.
How prude are you to consider calling someone Son of a bitch “horrible behaviour”. You all need to calm the fuck down with the morality policing.
Alright then shut up shit for brains go sit in a corner and suck your own ass dummy
Don’t be a prude bitch sissy about it just shut up idiot
See, I feel insulted but not discriminated against
Traditions can be discriminatory

I’ve heard from Mexican friends it’s meant more like “bitch” and IMO probably directed only at FIFA at this point
Yes it’s used like Americans use bitch but it means whore. I’m Portuguese we do the same all the time
