Episode 36: Ehhh...

One of the great distractions from the corruption and human rights abuses supported by FIFA in recent years have been the grandstanders of the Mexican National Soccer Team. On this episode, the Pontificator and Professor discuss the controversial “Puto” chant at Mexican soccer games - both a joyful cry of unity, yet also a cringe inducing reminder of prejudice and marginalization. Is it indeed a homophobic chant and is censorship the best solution? Late in the episode, the one and only Lil Mo joins the conversation to give his candid take on the chant near and dear to his heart. As the Pontificator and Lil Mo prepare to enter a sold out Qualcomm Stadium this weekend to be a part of the Mexican Green Team experience, they provide some pre game analysis, not of the game on the field, but of the anticipated performance of one of the most loyal, passionate and unapologetic grandstanders in the history of the spectating spectacle.
