I acknowledged the fact that there is something about the "puto" chant I may not understand and then said maybe someone here could explain it. Instead of insulting me, why don't you just explain why it isn't offensive?

How about the Mexico (and Brazil) fans screaming out "puto" whenever the opposing keeper has a goal kick? Which somehow zero-tolerance FIFA has decided is not a homophobic slur in such context, and which the world feed promoted with crowd shots multiple times during the first half of today's game. Maybe there's…
One of my favorite players! Looking at that helmet now, it doesn't seem to offer nearly as much impact absorption as the padded cap does.
I figured it was a Chrome thing, but now I see it works in Firefox, too. Must be my Mac helping me out.
It gets referred to as Ivory Coast, but it's not supposed to be called that anymore:
I think it's cool that Côte d'Ivoire is (maybe) the only county in the world whose name doesn't get anglicized. I mean, why don't we call Italy Italia, for instance?
Growing up watching Gwynn, the specifics of the numbers weren't important to me (I didn't know most of them until today!). I just knew he was great - and that he chose to stay with the Padres, year after year. Today, the stories that get to me are the ones people have of their personal encounters with Gwynn, not the…
Tony Gwynn regretted dipping and has spoken out against it. Last I read, his doctors couldn't confirm that dipping even was the cause of his cancer, but Gwynn always insisted it had to be the cause.
The wonderful thing about Tony Gwynn was that as worshipped as he was, he always was the same humble guy though it all. Kind of like Jerry Coleman. We've lost two of the best this year.
I remember listening to that game online at work. Somehow hearing Jerry Coleman make that call on the radio, rather than seeing it for myself on TV, just fits with the mythology of baseball. It would have been better to see it in person, though!
As a native San Diegan, I can just say that while the Padres are a team with almost no history, we still are among the luckiest fans of all for having had the pleasure of cheering for Tony Gwynn through his entire career.
As a Cooper S (R56) owner, I was hugely impressed with the new Cooper and Cooper S. They're fun, have better build quality than ever, handle extremely well, and offer peppy new BMW engines. The only downside to the new car is that it's bigger than the one it replaces, which some might say defeats the purpose of owning…
The ENT I went to last year said patients who combine sinus rinse with allergy meds report much better results than patients on meds only. It seems hokey, and it's a lot more work than just taking a pill or sniffing a spray, but it does help me.
He comes up frequently in the Seinfeld2000 Twitter account. That also explains the misspellings, the Alternate Krame hood and the Samsung phone.
These emoji are making me thirsty!
The U.S. coverage obsession with driver WAGs started, of course, with actress Ashley Judd.
Wipeout is the best.
You watched the wrong 20 laps! Always watch the last 20 laps of an oval race, not the first 20.
