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.
Yes, in any context, and the more context you provide to justify Nazi chants, the less convincing any argument you make will be.

I might be a reactionary moron, but at least I’ve never had to explain the nuance between excusing a nazi and merely attempting to explain why being a nazi isn’t so bad. Do go on, though, because it’s still not clear how you weren’t excusing the nazi chants.
i’m saying quite explicitly that i don’t think he’s a Nazi, based on the evidence… so i’m not defending Nazis… this is how you’re demonstrating your reactionism… you assume he’s a Nazi, and therefore my language is not harsh enough for you… it’s a pain in the ass trying to explain this to you through your reactionary tendency… perhaps you’re unable to see things rationally for some reason…
Based on the evidence that he shouted Nazi slogans, and he was drunk, you’re saying you don’t think it’s fair to say he was drunk and shouting Nazi slogans, but you’re not defending the drunk guy shouting of Nazi slogans? And your defense is that I’m overreacting to the Nazi slogans because I said it’s not OK to shout Nazi slogans? So I’m the irrational one in this conversation?
Were you perchance bitten by a radioactive projector?
No offense but that is literally what you were doing. Maybe reread your comment.
