Lazio fan wearing ‘Hitlerson’ shirt among 3 banned for life

Associated Press  

ROME — A fan wearing a shirt with a reference to Adolf Hitler was banned for life from attending Lazio matches by the Roman club on Wednesday. Authorities reviewed security camera footage from inside the Stadio Olimpico after pictures of the fan wearing a Lazio shirt with the name “Hitlerson” and the No. 88 — which is a numerical code for “Heil Hitler” — circulated on social media following Lazio’s 1-0 win over Roma in the city derby on Sunday. Lazio said the three fans “have nothing to do” with supporting the club and “have shown forms of discrimination and antisemitism.” The Italian league is still reviewing the behavior of Lazio fans during the derby.
