El futbol, or soccer, as lamentable it is known here in the U.S. is a super macho realm, no matter if it’s actually being played or watched. Men gather together, sweat, swear, cheer, drink. It’s male bonding at its best/worst. So who would think that there would be a gay World Cup and Argentina of all places? Well it’s true. Represented are over 500 players from 28 nations from various continents. This year marks the first time that the gay World Cup is held in Latin America.
The slogan of the Mexican team perhaps best sums up the spirit of the gay football world cup – “the ball is round for everyone”.
Right on!!!
