Atlanta United has condemned the use of a homophobic chant used by some attending Sunday night's inaugural game.

A statement issued by the team:

"Atlanta United does not support or condone the use of offensive language. We strive to foster a positive, enthusiastic and inclusive environment for all fans, and inappropriate chants have no place at our matches. Fans found to be participating in this behavior will be subject to removal from the building. 

The phrase can often be heard in games involving the Mexican national team, and is chanted during goal kicks.
