Nicolas Anelka

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Was that Quenelle salute he did after he scored really some kind of new Nazi symbol, or is the media going crazy by itself again?

It's not Nazi, it's Anti-Zionist. He'll get a big fine for it, probably.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Wow. You can be against Israel without being anti-Semetic...media bullshit once again.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Poor Nico Anelka lmao. Comes back after a while off form and dealing with personal issue, scores a brace, doesn't end up winning the game and now is in hot water with the FA... Maybe the MLS will be kinder to him

[robdog 2,084]

More info about the situation. I don't if you remember when Kalou scored a goal he did did a celebrations of covering his eyes & received a penalty from the FA? I do believe no political celebrations are allowed in League matches. Supposedly Anelka didn't realize it was an anti-Semitic gesture. I guess Anelka is friend's w/ French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, who used the symbol in a comedy routine in France.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Oh come on, fucking over-reacting again... It's not a classic Nazi salute or anything, so who gives a fuck. By this stupid logic Drogba's knee-slide salute should be banned from football, because it associates with war (politics).

[lucio 5,418]

he put his hand on his other arm. i think he should be banned for life

Political correctness brigade ruining the game as usual. Got to have some colour and take things in context.

La quenelle isnt anti semitic for fuck sake, no one cared about it when he used it back in 2005.Its is like Choulo said anti zionist, nothing more nothing less, its is a peaceful way to fuck the French gouverment in a way, Dieudo is a wonderful humourist, the best in France, but since 2008 his mouth talked too much truth and the French gouverment with the pig that is Manuel Valls and at that time Sarkozy didnt really appreciated the anti-zionist approach that he always had so they tried ever since to stop him.Dieudo is in a war, and he got the french population behind him, helping him with money because of troubles about a song he made, a song ! What is making me laugh is that the DailyMail writers dont know shit about this gesture, they still describe it exactly like the French media, as an reverse nazi gesture, what a peace of joke they are, Renseignez-vous !

Always happens when different reference frames get mixed while making moral/political statements

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Same gesture, no one give a fuck in the press.

[Toli 977]

Same gesture, no one give a fuck in the press.

it aint exact the same gesture. they arent putting their other arm a little bit up, like Anelka did.

even though I ant a big fan of DailyFail, here is a good article about this topic...does not seem as "harmless" as people make it out to be. Dieudonne got fined for anti-semtic utterances multiple times and also has contact to the Front National in France. He performed once as an orthodox-jew, made the nazi salute and screamed "isra-heil" for example. he made a lot of stuff who aint just "anti-zionist" but also anti-semitic. on a press conference he called the memorials about the Holocaust "pornographie mémorielle" - pornographic memorials. and you want to say, that this aint anti-semitic? For his candidature 2007 he has been working with people who openly deny the Holocaust and people want me tell that he aint anti-semitic but only anti-zionist lol.

What does it mean to be Anti...? Are you Pro only ?

[Toli 977]

What does it mean to be Anti...? Are you Pro only ?

well, being anti-semitic means hating people for their religion and their nationality/ where they from. in these term, yes i am only pro, because I dont care where somebody is from or in what he believes. you dont?

If I were to show up in front of your door wearing Nazi helmet, would you consider me pro Nazi ?

Let me give you an example. Several years ago, one of the so called royal family member attended a party dressed in Nazi outfit, swastika & all. Is he a Nazi supporter now ?

He deserves a long ban for bringing shit like this into the English game. The fact that he's tried to weasel his way out of it with that image of Obama doing A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GESTURE simply compounds it and makes him look like an utter moron. The Christmas period is when English football is at it's best and it's one of the things that separates it from the rest of the European leagues, so to bring shit like this into our game is utterly detestable.

Five games is apparently the minimum, double that is more realistic.

Some say, next game you are wearing Jewish star, any truth to it ?

Would that please the lonely place to be ?
