When the news itself proves to be awkward, people come up with some pretty funny responses. People had a lot to say about Giorgos Katidis, a Greek soccer player, who Greece banned from its team after he apparently celebrated a goal by participating in a Nazi solute. Even worse, he told the media pointed to a friend in the stands, and that he didn't even know what the sign meant.
Nevertheless, possibly the same user, Mike, that cracked the joke on Franco three weeks ago delivered another successful joke in just another yahoo! comment. "So Hitler was in the stands?" he said.
Many jokes came storming in the comments section, including some good sarcasm, "That's how i usually point too, with four fingers together,"user No Name said.
"He was looking for his son.... has anyone seen Kyle he's this tall... seen Kyle, seen Kyle!!" said Chris. Many comments intended to poke fun at Katidis and his naive decision, but some tried to be more serious.
"Freedom of Expression doesn't imply Freedom from Consequences...." said Chris P. Some even felt bad for him as he was banned forever. "A penalty of some type seems in order, but a lifetime ban seems real harsh. It's a stupid, ignorant thing to do but he'll be punished plenty by the public and the media," said Javier M.
Some comments seemed to want to give a little history. "That is a Roman salute. The Nazis generally stole their symbols from other cultures," said Darryl.
