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 is that discriminatory? It’s tradition, happens every big game.

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?

“it’s tradition” has been used to justify all manner of horrible behavior. It’s not the defense you think it is

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.

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
