Nazi salutes are worse, but I’m not all that familiar with the incident you shared. Obviously, I’ve seen the video, but I don’t know a lot of the context around it. Slovan seems to have a pattern a Neo-Nazi ultras, so that’s why I said they’d be competition.

It's the fascist salute not the nazist one

Is there a difference? (I’m genuinely asking as I didn’t know there was two different salutes)

Yeah, I don't expect any American to have a serious knowledge on soccer after all. It's obviously very different in Europe. Paolo Di Canio is an open fascist and his Roman salute after a Lazio game caused an uproar back in 2005. Lazio's supporters are well known far-right extremists for many years and if you had more knowledge on soccer you'd probably be #1 Lazio critic here.

This article gets it wrong on lack of black players at Lazio back then though since Fabio Liverani (mother from Somalia) played for them and I have no idea why he's not included. Things have changed in the last 15 years but Lazio fans' fascism has not

Hitler "adopted" the Roman salute as well as the swastika (sign of good luck in ancient Rome) when he came to power. As a failed painter Hitler was always a fan of ancient Roman/classical art.

I supose you didn't watch any movies staged in ancient Rome in your life?

Gladiator, but it’s not really a historical film as much as a drama. I remember watching “The Eagle” too, but again that took place mostly in Britannia.

 

I’ve heard of the term “Roman Salute”, but I just thought it was the Italian name for the Nazi salute.

Yeah, other than soccer Americans are pretty weak in European history as well even though fascism has had quite a prominent role in the last century

 

Cicero who provides a written evidence about the Roman salute lived 2,000 years before Mussolini & Hitler

KI Klaksvik - Slovan Bratislava 3-0  Forfaited, Klaksvik qualified for 2nd Qualifying Round .

 

UEFA announced today the decision.

 

 

Slovan in other hand is trying the last attempt, apparently all players who returned from the Faroese were tested negative yesterday in Slovakia   They send the tests to UEFA

 

[Federer91 2,796]

Pure stupidity. 30 negative players and they didn't let them play. I'm sure if this was Tottenham or Roma and not Slovan, it would have been the same decision... 

[hckošice 14,829]

The saga continue.

 

Slovan made today an official appeal to CAS

The management of the club insists that Slovan was harmed by the "unfair conduct of the Faroese party and that Klaksvík did not fulfill its obligations under the protocol of the European Football Union (UEFA)"

[hckošice 14,829]

New update.

 

CAS said it was asked by Slovan for an urgent ruling to postpone tonights match of the 2nd Qualifying round in Switzerland between Young Boys and KI Klaksvik until CAS has ruled on the merits of the case.

 

UEFA declined to comment
