The term is a homophobic slur in the Spanish language which has a long history of being sung as a chant by supporters from Latin American nations. "Yesterday I posted a video that included me using a derogatory slur in Spanish. "We are aware of the use of a homophobic slur by an L.A. Galaxy player. MLS has begun a formal investigation regarding the language used by the player and more information will be provided as soon as it becomes available." The 2021 MLS season begins next weekend, with the Galaxy away to Inter Miami on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football and Mix from 8.15pm.
