SHAME

ΑΠΟΦΑΣΕΙΣ ΕΚΤΕΛΕΣΤΙΚΗΣ

**Ανόρθωση και Ομόνοια για σοβαρά επεισόδια στο μεταξύ τους παιχνίδι. Η Ομόνοια παραπέμπεται και για ανάρτηση πανό με πολιτικό περιεχόμενο

Translation:

The C.F.A (Cyprus Football Association) will punish Anorthosi and Omonoia for the serious episodes that occured in the game between them. Omonoia will be punished for putting up banners with political content (ie. the AKEL flag).

My question is why isn't Anorthosi being punished for putting up a banner with the Nazi Swastika (for the second time may I add) ???

For me this is far worse than putting up any kind of (Cypriot) political symbol. Anorthosi fans who put up that banner should be ashamed of themselves. Even more ashamed should be those who tolerate such behaviour, who see these things and not do anything about it.

The swastika is a symbol of the killing of 11-14 million people in World War II. It is the symbol of Nazi Germany led by the fascist dictator Adolf Hitler. It represents the Nazi ideology of "racial hygiene" and the superiority of the Aryan race. The first victims of the "cleansing" were children with mental and physical disabilities. People were killed for their race, religion, sexual orientation and disabilities. These people were put in concentration camps and were gassed to death. Others were slave labourers and died as a result of starvation. IN SHORT IT IS THE SYMBOL OF MURDER!

It is a shame to see such a symbol in the stands of Cypriot stadiums, it is even worse when you see it in the stands of a refugee team...
