RE: Mexican Murals - Football Heroes Around an Urban Field [CCC's Street Art Contest #123]

So do people stab each other arguing over which team they prefer in Mexico? (happens in Chile haha)

Sort:  

Sure, bar brawls can easily get out of hand and they erupt for the stupidest reasons. Football is an ideal candidate since so many people follow it so passionately. Interestingly, certain clubs also attract fans from a certain background.

Mexico City's working class like to support Cruz Azul, intellectuals tend to favor the UNAM's Pumas, and the fans of America are (stereo)typically what are known as nacos: low income hustler and wannabe gangster types, who may even be proud of their lack of education or social finesse. So a brawl with America fans I can certainly imagine ending up bloody.

Very similar, here there are three main teams as well being Colo Colo the working class and Universidad de Chile preferred by those of higher income. Universidad Católica is for the intellectual. However, there's a lot of gangsterism on both Colo Colo and Universidad de Chile and that confrontation leads to the bloody brawls.

Hahahaha! Interesting! Kinda cool to discover these interesting aspects of something that ultimately doesn't interest me. 😜

Haha! but it does, if only as a cultural phenomenon, otherwise you wouldn't have posted about it 🤔 Either way, looking forward to some building post of yours, those are very interesting

YES!!! I also want to make some building posts! In fact, I really hope to get into building something to post about. It's about time!
