Should FIFA have a responsibility to speak out against hate speech from fans?
A number of openly gay athletes have been subjected to homophobic abuse since the games began last week.
Female football players have reported hearing anti-gay Portuguese insults ‘bicha’ and ‘puta’ shouted by Brazilian fans – as well as ‘Zika’, referring to the virus that is currently gripping the country.
Footballer Robbie Rogers recently claimed:
“FIFA is corrupt… it’s run by racist, sexist homophobic dudes, who are in charge and put their buddies in charge.”
