AEK Soccer Player Slammed for Nazi Salute

Who would of thought that a salute would of fueled so much controversy. Today you not only have to be weary of what you say, you also have to be very careful how you stand and raise your arm. The slightest gesture can be interpreted in the most peculiar and bizarre ways.

AEK Athens player Giorgos Katidis apparently came under intense attack by various politicians at the weekend, soccer players, and even some fans, for giving a Nazi salute after scoring a goal in a game.

After scoring the go-ahead goal in the 84th minute of a game against the Veria team on Saturday, Katidis raised his right arm  and presto all hell broke loose.

The young soccer player pleaded ignorance, insisting on his Twitter account that he is, actually, anti-fascist, but this did not stop the attacks from politicians as well as others who rushed to slam the midfielder.

AEK’s German coach, Ewald Lienen, told the press that the young player is 100 percent innocent, and doesn’t have an “idea about politics” in his goal scoring head.
