Correction

Following Saturday’s game, Univision reported that we “transformed” a chant considered by many people to be homophobic into a positive chant full of energy.  The chant they featured in their video, which they wrongfully believe is a transformation of the “puto chant,” is this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWZthX7i-s0  We would like to correct Univision and state for the record that we have been using the…
