Greek Football Player banned for life for Nazi Salute!
Twenty-year-old midfielder Giorgos Katidis scored the winning goal in AEK Athens's 2-1 Super League victory over Veria on Saturday but celebrated it in controversial fashion in front of spectators at the Olympic Stadium.
The Greek football federation decided unanimously yesterday to ban Katidis from playing for Greece.
Yahoo! News New Zealand reports that officials of the Greek football federation didn’t like what he’s done and unanimously decided the sanction during a general meeting over the weekend.
“The action by the player to salute spectators with a Nazi salute defies common sense, profoundly shows disrespect to all the victims of Nazi atrocities and injures the peaceful and deeply human character of football. The Greek football federation condemns unequivocally and categorically such actions,” the organization said in an official statement.
