The Salon publishes a story on March the 17th on a soccer player banned for making the "sieg heil" sign in a match. Giorgos Katidis, a player for Athens was banned after celebrating the score against Veria in the Greek league with the famous nazi symbol. The Greece's soccer federation said it was an outraging insult to the victims of Hitler's infamous "tribe". Katidis claimed ignorance to the sign, and even tweeted he hated fascism. AEK fans required his expulsion from the team while AEK and the Greek league are considering which measures to take.
The article's intention is simply to inform the reader about the most recent occurance in Greece and in the soccer world. Apart from its obvious purpose, it also shows how either brutal racism still happens nowadays or how ignorance is taking over this generation.The author uses a simple and blunt style to convey his message but remains extremely impartial through it all.
