Copa América 2024

I understand the appeal of rooting for the country you grew up in w/ your fellow ex-pats, that being said you just spent hundreds/thousands to cheer on a club who's best player is Solomon Rondon in all the while sitting in a stadium that will give you 3rd degree burns.
 
USA: spends billions of tax $$$ on smaller soccer specific stadiums that would be perfect for a match like ECU-VEN.

USA: plays match in a 3/4ths empty NFL stadium, and one of the worst NFL stadiums.

So those not familiar from the specific cultural aspect...the casual swearing is definitely not seen as proper but also not seen as a problem at least from the perspective of mexican Americans. My earliest introduction to it was in the form of a section of the menu called chingaderas at a local restaurant. Definitely seen as okay for family consumption, while at the same time acknowledged as not proper.

In other words, that s+!t was funny.
