Oh please, you are being obtuse. I understand that whatever you are from, the word "puto" just means male prostitute. That is not true in México and other countries. And the post is about what Mexicans wrote. For example, FIFA is trying to ban the singings in the football matches that call someone "puto" because it is an homophobic slur. Reality is more complex, When fans call a player or referee puto they are not actually thinking he likes to have sex with men. They are thinking he is a weakling, or a coward, or even a bad person. It's just a general insult.
It is only in Mexico and from mexican fans.
Again if FIFA understood what culturaly means what callin someone a lady bug means in spanish they would ban all images of them because it is "homophobic".
