Mexican fans responded to FIFA's decision to investigate alleged homophobic chants during their team's 1-0 victory over Germany, in Moscow on Wednesday.
Sunday's chants seemed to have been directed at German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer while he took goal kick.
Salvador Reyes agreed with a ban on the word alleged to have been used, 'puto', which is a pejorative term in Spanish for male sex worker.
"I am against racism because this is a global celebration and we should have it like that. We should be politer," he said.
Another fan, Alberto, disagreed, saying, "the word is a bit exaggerated but that's how Mexicans are, we just want to have fun and see Mexico win."
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) was fined nine times for supporters' homophobic chanting during qualifying.
