Difficult one. Completely unacceptable if deliberate. Hard to prove as deliberate. I imagine it will be overturned in a few years.
Di Canio got away with it at Lazio well they're a fascist club in any case not acceptable after what the Nazi did to the Greeks.
Yes, from the national team, he's not been banned from representing club level football. Why would a nation like Greece wish to be associated with this?
It all seems to be very subjective to me..In my opinion, if the footballer has stated that he isn't a fascist, and this gesture was no way intended to be a Nazi saute, then he should be given the benefit of the doubt and given a second chance..
It's make your mind up time! Looks like it was intentional to me, very surprised after what the Nazi's put his country through. [video=youtube;20Ri6IOKNQo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Ri6IOKNQo[/video]
From that angle it does look pretty bad..But how many times has a snap photo not told the whole story..
