a greek soccer player has been banned for life
forgiving the nazi salute at again uh... his name is george s get tedious at
twenty at began saying that right at twenty yr old three talker player he
celebrated the game-winning goal on saturday beginning in nazi salute to
fans in athens but that has banned him for a life from representing his country
in international terms obvious let's see the hellenic football federation and the
band they said the players action to salute two spectators in a nazi manor is
a severe provocation insult all the victims of nazi barbarity and injures
the deeply pacifist and human character of the game
i wouldn't have gone in the direction of our time
now he tried to deny that he's doing for seniors like hello i was just pointing
right and that he was like okay i i j s iran lividity i did the action but he
didn't understand the context everybody's seen indiana jones we've all
seen nazis until police did not really
i wouldn't go that direction
a lifetime been though is obviously as extreme as an athlete can be slapped
with ends what do you think about that do you think that well i wonder if scale
with everything that's going on increased right now read that the
neo-fascists technical don party and all of that happening i wonder if this is
like a a huge slide
they punished him even more to say that to be i don't know maybe they're like
we're gonna bring down the hammer because everything that's going on we
once in a message to people that we don't stand for this and we're not
allowed this i doubt that seems pretty i mean just a prolific thing to do but it
seems
sexy is saying and then an email id soccer's a huge deal in the house agrees
had such a difficult history
planning at the nazi occupation and now that he said the player himself said
that he has said
i want to clarify that i'm not a fascist or neo nazi or racist i have a step
brother from puerto rico at all my family here from the black c_n_n_
experienced racism in the worst ways favorite i'm sorry
plenty of other and racist i have a black friend and right on answering and
kaali isn't everything but friends of the cafeteria
didn't that is the end of the contents of it the economic problems increase its
not unique in that it leads to extreme parties like fascism like that that
happens a lot
but how could it how could he have thought that that was gonna play well
it looks like he said because of the rise of these neo-fascist parties maybe
this is his entry into politics or something right like he had to know that
there was gonna deal uh... strong negative reaction this we haven't had a
smartphone even think he's only twenty years old i was so maybe there is
something in his uh... you know and he's in he's happily so perhaps he has really
thought all of these through and has not been expected to or asked
to think these ideas that he did apologize and he said i sincerely
apologize to my team eight everyone involved with the club that i have
insulted and not knowing exactly what i had done in my celebration nonetheless
the fact that i did not know what i was doing there's no excuse so that's pretty
mature response from him
it would reform it would be better if he had thought that the before he enjoyed
missiles
yeah
i like this again bearing in mind that these twenty years old obviously that's
about as offensive it gestures you can't make uh... but i wonder
about the possibility of that always been chasing united pipeline no i don't
think it makes you say it is a little bit like let's say hypothetically he was
found in casa for halloween is going to not series said something that sort of
seem to support the neo-fascist parties or
but how does a wonderful life time band like there is the possibility of a
slippery slope for other political persuasions or
says something racists like
and he did not say i'm a nazi everyone should be nazis he made a simple and so
to some extent this is sort of a far cry that with a we're criminalizing now that
we're assuming that he is thinking of things that he might or might not be in
many might no i'm not sure
we now so it's it's you know you you come to
you know it's intellectual maturity on these things at your own pace and so
maybe that is something that it'll slow money does seem to be our gave an
example of that
