As I posted elsewhere, I wasn't actually surprised by this. The relevant section starts at :38.
Here, he's joking about linguistic and cultural differences rather than sexual orientation, but it still made me side-eye a bit. (And yes, my understanding is based on my crappy Spanish, and according to my Google-fu, the Portuguese-to-Spanish interpretation by the program isn't word perfect either, as "panaca" doesn't directly translate to "homosexual", though "viado" can and is intended to here, soooo... Overall, I think I understand, but if I'm incorrect on any of this, please chime in, ontd_fb-ers.)
Again, I don't believe either video clip proves Mourinho is a raging homophobe - as in, someone who would be uncomfortable around or actively belligerent toward gay individuals - but as a fan, I wish he'd stop using these terms, even in a casual manner.
Also, this video once again highlights Cris's perfection as he diffuses the topic entirely.
