On top of it all, he’s also literally a fascist

    The 56-year-old was suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan.

    Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting “duce, duce”, which translates as “leader, leader” and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

    “I did it and I don’t regret it because I admire Mussolini, he did great things for Italy as Franco did for Spain,” Bernabe said in 2021.

    They fire him for showing his dick online and not for being openly fascist at one of the games they invited him to be at in an official capacity… oh, football culture.

      I mean, not to try and come up with excuses or anything but Lazio is very well known for being supported by fascists, their hooligan group is doing shit like this all the time.

        Just to get the point across, a nickname for the club is SS Nazio. This guy is not even the worst I’ve seen from them, not by a long shot.

        I’ve been put off by antics like this for a long time before “discovering” football. It turns out this sport is great fun to follow. Being so universal though, a lot of what you’ll find online trying to keep up with it is content made by and made for the absolute dregs of society.
