Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been accused of making a homophobic slur prior to Tuesday's Champions League game away to CSKA Moscow.

Mourinho is alleged to have called match officials "faggots" prior to the 1-1 draw in Moscow.

The European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation (EGLSF) has filed a complaint against the Special One, while co-president Louise Englefield has urged UEFA to take action against the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss.

"Homophobia is unacceptable from anyone in football, much less from one of the game's most senior figures," Englefield was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying.

"We are deeply disappointed that Mr. Mourinho is casually using homophobic terms of abuse in his workplace.

"It is especially sad that these comments have been made during the International Football v Homophobia campaign week.

"As long-standing partners of the FARE network, we call on UEFA to take action and impose appropriate sanctions."

Wow. Fuck most of y'all. And fuck Mou too. This shit is unacceptable. I don't care how commonly used this term is in Spain. Using "gay" or any variation of it as an insult is incredibly offensive and dehumanizing.

How is this different from younger Americans saying "oh, that's so gay?" as a statement of disliking something & implying it's not cool? Tbh, when I first heard of "that's so gay" I could scarcely believe it, as to me it was clearly offensive to gay people.

lol @ some of these comments. This is really disappointing, though. Football really likes to get in trouble this season

It's amusing how some ONTD_fb members try to stir up shit with each other instead of paying attention to the article. Make pasta, not war, girls...
