SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego FC coach and sporting director expressed disappointment and anger after their club's inaugural home match was marred by occurrences of a homophobic chant. The chant, commonly heard at Mexican national team matches, was heard three times during the second half of San Diego's match against St. Louis City at Snapdragon Stadium.
The club swiftly condemned the chant, with the coach addressing the issue in both Spanish and English during the post-match news conference. He emphasized that the chant goes against the club's values and does not represent the community of San Diego or Baja California. The club made it clear that such behavior is unacceptable and has no place in their stadium.
