What I'm saying is they should get a similar punishment as well.

He and others have claimed that the gesture is against 'the system' and not against Jews. I know his friend has had anti-Semitic charges but the gesture itself might have been just that. Even if he was supporting his friend, doesn't mean he was supporting those views, even if he wasn't condoning them either.

Then Boas why are you surprised that at 17 years old BK has drunk beer before

TCW trying to engage in a debate in this state

Obers, look carefully. This will be you in 3 years time

CSTP, Anelkas celebration is related to The Nazisss? That alone deserves a ban. Its like you're celebrating Naziss. Ban imo.

Did Nasri and Sakho make the gesture on the pitch?

"boas s tfu youre always drunk"

TCW talks sense when he's drunk

BK

Boas but it's not. It's a different gesture to the N @zi salute.

Players have done the n@zi salute before though I believe. Did Di Canio ever get banned? (Genuine question rather than a rhetorical one).

I can see this as the most likely scenario. Even though I think it would be harsh to accuse him of anti-semiticism, the unnecessary controversy alone is worthy of punishment.

if i gsve the middle finger to aliens would it be better because thaey dont know what it means

okay lol that was drunk logic

aybe bed for me

happy new year1

TCW

TCW yes. Aliens won't give a crap.

Plus I'm not convinced the gesture is one of anti-semiticism. Both Anelka and Nasri have talked more about it representing French politics. That might be rubbish but I guess I haven't heard enough from French people to know how it's commonly interpreted.

I still don't know for sure what it means nor the rules for defining a gesture.

Is it what the creator says it means?
Is it what the person making the gesture says it means?
Is it what people of the geographic region where it was made believe what it means?
Is it what the majority say it means?
Is it what critics of gesture say it means?
Should the gesture be judged by the character of its creator?
Should the gesture be judged by the character of its user?

Banning will depend on the laws (like everything else). If he can be banned, then the laws have to be amended.
