For years now, FIFA has tried, with varying degrees of effort, to stop Mexico fans from chanting a homophobic slur at opposing goalkeepers.

The Mexican soccer federation has been fined – more than a dozen times, to the tune of many thousands of dollars. Mexico has been forced to play home World Cup qualifiers without fans and at reduced capacity. FIFA even dangled the threat of kicking El Tri out of competitions, including the World Cup, if fans didn’t stop with the offensive chant.
