ATLANTA (AP) -- Atlanta United said Monday it is "taking measures internally" to address an anti-gay chant used by some fans attending the team's first Major League Soccer match.

United spokesman Chris Winkler said the team was aware of the chant during Sunday night's 2-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls. In a statement to The Associated Press, the team said the chants "have no place in our matches" and fans participating in those chants will be removed from games.

"offensive term for a male prostitute." OK, when will "Male Prostitute Day" be a promotion on the schedule? Just think of the giveaway. /sarc.

“offensive term for a male prostitute.”


Just a wild guess based on soccer’s fan base and the large number of Latinos in the Atlanta area.

“Puto, puto, puto.”

Is there even an English term for male prostitute?

It’s the same chant used by fans of the Mexican National Team.

Yes. It is “prostitute”

Seriously though, not sure if it is really English, but gigolo was a term for one.

Giggolo.
Hustler.
Rent boy.

I am sure there are many terms in the stoner/drunk barfly culture.

Arthur blank, a huge lib and Clinton supporter, owns the Atlanta United. he is an embarrassment and his team folded in the second half just like the Falcons in the Super bowl.

IM a long time Falcons fan and I appreciate him trying to win.. but his politics are a disgrace.. I hate that soccer is so pc but the NFL is too

Hockey does it, too. This was a few days at a home game in Edmonton.

Oh yeah, he is that gangster looking guy who was strutting around the Falcons sideline at the Super Bowl, right? Boy he looked mad at the end.

And his wife, or secretary, was looking at him like he wasn’t gonna be awake very long after they got back to the hotel....

Yes. Here in Dallas they were hammering the Stars’ organization because they didn’t do anything for their “Hockey Is For Everyone” Night festivities.

They knew better being here in Texas.

If songs were to be sung like they are in Europe then all the songs would be banned.

PC crap
