What to do about di Canio?

Another day, another facist salute from everyone's favourite Ultra.
Given how UEFA mouths off about how its "kicking racism out of football", are we going to see di Canio and Lazio given huge fines, and in di Canio's case a ban measured in years not matches?
di Canio says its all OK because its just the Jewish community in Rome who were upset by his actions.
Will anyone punish him? Like hell they will, Italian footballers and Italian football can do what it wants, free from sanction, just like always.

Considering this has been his second offence in less than a year then a lengthy ban is surely the only sensible outcome. What's the sense in fining someone £10/k when they earn £50/k a week. That's like fining me or you a fiver.
Given half of fucking Rome is up in arms about di Canio's disgraceful behaviour, it is neither "PC people" (what are they, is it like PC World?) complaining without reason, nor "not offensive" in Italy.
Go and look up the history of Lazio. Go and look up how their fans unfurled a 50 foot banner declaring "The ovens are your houses" to the (largely Jewish) Roma fans.
It's a Nazi salute, just like the last one, to pander to the Ultras filth that support Lazio.
Pc = politically correct.
DiCanio has professed his admiration for Mussolini and has even got "Dux" (Latin for Duce, Mussolini's title as leader) tattooed on his arm!
He's nutty as a fruitcake and facist but it's about history to him and not nazism
Yeah, a crap side.
What are PC people? It's a term used so much, but what do you mean by it?
Guess there only one side to every arguement and thats yours
But he wouldn't be saying the same thing if HE was a Jew living in Rome and a football player did exactly the same to Jews then, would he? :rolleyes:
Source?
Who are these people? Named?
That explains why it's bollocks then, I guess.
When it comes to Nazi boy, of course.
They should do what they say, and kick racism out of football. It is pretty comprehensive that the guy is a racist. Kick him out of football. Life ban.
Any fan found doing it would be given a life ban. Why not the players????
Not sure whether this is about publicity now that his career is coming to an end anyway... Still a moron though.
And there was me thinking that overall he was a decent human being (despite pushing a referee out of the way in what was frankly a rather funny episode)...
Especially in the wake of the FIFA chief's comments about cracking down on racism yesterday. Nearly fell off my chair at his hipocrisy...
To be expected, the Italian FA- like the Spanish- couldn't care less. Look at how Mijahlovic was "punished" for his spitting and swearing at black players.
The English FA are no better though- look at how Donovan Ricketts was shafted by the shitheads in Soho.
Where the FA failed was in not doing something to the fans involved.
He's a nutcase, but at least he provides some entertainment.
