A fan was ejected from a U.S. Open tennis match early Tuesday morning after German player Alexander Zverev complained the man used language from Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime.
Zverev, the No. 12 seed, was serving at 2-2 in the fourth set of his match against No. 6 Jannik Sinner when he suddenly went to chair umpire James Keothavong and pointed toward the fan, who was sitting in a section behind the umpire.
“He just said the most famous Hitler phrase there is in this world,” Zverev told Keothavong. “It’s not acceptable.”
…
“He started singing the anthem of Hitler that was back in the day. It was ‘Deutschland über alles’ and it was a bit too much,” Zverev said.
“Shouting some stupid shit” is a really generous description of chanting Nazi slogans.
Yeah I hate it when I’m out having a good time and I accidentally let some Nazi shit slip out! Whoopsy!!!
in context though? the context that i went to great lengths to provide? you’re just ignoring that to try to make an argumentative point…
I don’t think that context excuses nearly as much as you think. At no point in my life have I been drunk or giddy enough to shout God Save the Queen or recite some confederate anthem. And I’ve been damn drunk before.
Sounds like a challenge. I’ll bring the Cuervo, you bring the Beam, let’s get drunk and sing God Save the Queen!
alright, if that sounded like an excuse to you this morning, i apologize alright… i was not excusing this moron…
reactionary fuckwits gauging the harshness of language
