The body that regulates the Concacaf also announced a campaign to avoid "inappropriate" behaviors in the stadiums that host the tournaments that may bother some group of fans. Concacaf said the campaign will be called "The Stadium We All Want" and will go hand in hand with another social responsibility mission titled "Let's Live in a Goal State" to spread values, shout goals and not hurt sensitivities.
"The initiative will focus specifically on inappropriate behaviors that could adversely affect the stadium experience for some of the diverse fan groups that enjoy soccer throughout the region," Concacaf said in a statement. Philippe Moggio, insisted that it is time to take strong action to improve the stadium experience without offending anyone. "At the 2017 Gold Cup, the focus will be on creating awareness that certain songs may be offensive to some, while going against the unifying nature of our sport and our shared values of acceptance and respect," said Moggio.
Among the actions of the campaign, Concacaf will prevent the television audience from reproducing offensive and discriminatory behavior through the international channels of transmission they control.
