National team afterparty sparks outrage across Mexican media and fans

Members of the Mexico national team were caught by a gossip magazine (TVNotas) going to an afterparty after the Mexico vs. Scotland game. According to the reports, the party was apparently filled with escorts and some of the players didn’t leave until the next day. The event was then grabbed by an opportunistic Mexican press that hides behind morality to take advantage of the “controversy” to sell papers, get clicks and TV ratings. Like the 2010 party in Monterrey, parts of the Mexican press show how manipulative they can be and how close they are to the yellow journalism who broke this story.
