FIFA and Concacaf Need to Issue Harsh Penalties for Mexico Fans' Homophobic Chant or Risk Complicity
- FIFA and Concacaf must significantly punish Mexico for fans' homophobic slur or be considered cowardly and contemptible.
- Banning Mexico from hosting World Cup games in 2026 and docking points are options for meaningful punishment.
- Simply warning fans before each game is not sufficient and the harshest of penalties are necessary.
- Mexico should lose the right to host World Cup games if fans do not stop the chant immediately.
- FIFA and Concacaf's lack of strong response so far suggests they condone the chant.
