This will not make Tim Hardaway very happy:
A gay Mexican football team is hoping to win a place at the 2007 Gay Soccer World Cup in Argentina.I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Gay Soccer World Cup, but according to this 2004 article, the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association (IGLFA) was started in 1992, and the first organized gay soccer team was formed in New York City in 1981.
These teams aren't comprised of professional players, but guys with everyday jobs hoping to use soccer as a vehicle "to spread tolerance and social understanding." There will be 32 teams competing in Argentina, though the Mexican side still needs to raise funds for uniforms, a coach, and travel expenses from corporations and gay organizations.
Honestly, the Gay Soccer World Cup is a great idea. I think everyone, no matter their sexual preference, should be afforded the right to take dives, throw punches, and drop-kick unruly fans. Just make sure the coach wears a helmet.
