Lifetime ban for being _______________

What word would you use? Stupid? Racist? Insensitive? Ignorant? Hateful? [url=http://tinyurl.com/cetm22m]Greek soccer player Giorgos Katidis gets life ban for Hitlergruß salute[/url]. Late Edit: Links are touchy with the filter, aren't they? Should be better now. Hopefully we can discuss the topic instead of my link fail.

    • I thought this thread was about Recon being banned. That would have been funny, come to think of it why did I assume that in the first place? Aliens. Thats why.

    • Could be any of them. Hard to say without context. Considering that I like to imagine that the world is a nicer place than it seems, I'm going with #1 and #3.

    • Insensitive. Now the real debate is whether being insensitive is enough to bar you from playing soccer. I don't think so but those europeans feel differently I suppose.

      That's a pretty stupid reason to ban him. Hopefully anyone that does the prayer thing (Moving hand from forehead to each shoulder) gets banned as well.

        • Generally, being a dick is looked down upon. So, lets go with that.

        • There's a lot of racism going on in Greece right now, but can you exactly blame it? Certainly it's not excusable, but you would probably feel the same if your country went to shit because of illegal immigrants. The guy is ignorant no doubt, but from what it seems he didn't realize what it was. Ignorant and stupid, but I highly doubt he meant "Death to all Jews, Heil Hitler!". He was celebrating a freaking soccer goal, and to be honest it wasn't even Hitler's to begin with.

        • What an idiot. if he really didn't know what that meant, which i doubt, he must really be ignorant.

        • Soccer, that's all there is to say. A bunch of overpaid idiots who demand loan raises in a time of mass unemployment, are as uneducated as they get, and fall down at the first breeze of wind, blaming it on anything they can find, and doing anything for some attention. I could understand an accidental Zieg Heil, but this was purely intentional.

            • I'm inclined to believe his explanation that he didn't understand the connotations of the salute. He's an idiot, but it's mostly just misfortune that he was banned.

                10 bucks it turns out he supports that crazy national socialist party that's popped up in Greece in the last few years. Golden Dawn, that's the one.

              • I love that the guy next to him is going "Dafuq did I just see?" OT: Stupid. Plain and simple. I wouldn't do that after a bottle of Jack.

              • Is it not possible he just threw his arm up excited from winning/scoring/doing whatever you do in soccer that's exciting; and it happened to look like the salute?

                • If I recall he says he didn't know what it meant so I'll say ignorant.
