well it was reported in a couple places, including queerty.com (one of the biggest lgbt blogs on the net), which is how the main madrid comm got the story. definitely tumblr isn't the originating source....it's been percolating ever since the video came out, but the lack of a response from the major spanish media outlets has probably impeded its general exposure.
SPORT mentioned it but didn't give it much importance. Weird thing coming from a 100% culé and anti-mourinho newspaper http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/champions/mourinho-esos-maricones-dicen-con-que-balon-juega-1433466 Tbh I always critize everything that comes out his mouth, but this time I think it's unfair to call him homophobic... I don't think he used "maricones" as an insult to homosexual people He just knew it was an insult and used it, without thinking about the meaning of it. Like most people in Spain do, it's one of the most common insults these days.... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's ok to use it but it's just the sad reality. Sorry if this doesn't really make sense, I couldn't even find the words to say it in spanish, so it turned out even worse and more confusing in english xD
not surprised. i've always considered him to have a nasty streak. i just hope action is taken and with EGLSF being involved...surely this won't be ignored. perhaps i'm being too optimistic...

I feel really disappointed and surprised even. I know his media tactics but not this.
And am I right in thinking this hasn't been reported by many major media outlets? It's on goal.com and daily mail but hardly anywhere else.
