Paolo Di Canio found himself in the company of those who actually survived the Holocaust..

Some of the more compelling aspects of the Di Canio-enlightenment involve his assertion that, despite having listened to various perspectives, he still maintains his own independent ideas. 🙄

A survivor of the Holocaust asked that we remember the innocent Italians who were murdered by communists, though he did go out of his way to clarify that racism is an absolute atrocity and that violence is never a viable solution to anything.

That’s bound to send his fan base into a total tailspin, isn't it?

A bad player and an even worse human being.

The interesting bits of this Di Canio enlightenment include him saying, "I listened to their stories, but I still have my own ideas"🙄

He asked the Holocaust survivors to remember the innocent Italians killed by communists. But he also mentioned that racism is "a terrible thing and violence never solves anything"

That’s definitely going to piss off his fans—you know, the ones waving swastikas—right?

If he played for the US, he'd be captain👎

Emperor, because you can't be that much of an idiot unless you're running some kind of cult, and he's definitely an idiot by that standard.

I suppose I'm wondering what this is actually supposed to imply
🙄 🙄 🙄

Honestly, thinking about this stuff is just too much work. 🙂

This feels like some kind of proposal I’d have to run by my colleagues first 🙏 🙏

But honestly, the absolute peak was when Mussolini's granddaughter invited him to join the party. Italy moved on from that era ages ago, but man, that's just too much

A complete lunatic, or perhaps just a massive idiot currently hogging all the spotlight

I honestly find it strange how you let her turn one of the country's biggest football icons—who was basically the definition of fair play back when he played in England and was huge there—into such an embarrassment.

Just download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C2Z620PQ(wait about 40 seconds), watch it, and then tell me he was actually peaceful during his time in England...

I'll download it again later. I was just trying to say the Italians loved him. Not because of what he did to the ref in Sheffield (though that was a bit of simulation 😉 ), but more because he was always on TV, praising English football, them praising him, stuff like that. 😁 Then there was that move against Everton where he didn't score on purpose. I guess he wasn't exactly an angel, but from an Italian perspective, the whole thing looked pretty different.

Now Paolo Di Canio wants to show us his soft side... yeah, right...

He's just a hillbilly, much like anyone else who roots for Lazio... they're easily my least favorite club in Italy—it’s honestly a shame they didn't have a shot at avoiding relegation this year

Paolo Di Canio is an absolute legend, why are you guys even talking? He’s got more charisma in his pinky finger than all those other soft losers in Italy combined...

The guy is a total thug, just like everyone else backing Lazio... honestly, they're the most obnoxious club in Italy and I’m actually glad they didn't have a shot at avoiding relegation this year.

First of all, Forza LAZIO!

Look, Paolo Di Canio isn't exactly my hero, but give me a break—you can find some kind of villain in pretty much every single club out there!

I won't go down the rabbit hole of making comparisons because I don't want anyone breathing down my neck about equating things to fascism, but there are plenty of colorful characters to choose from, especially over in the Italian league!

I mean, look at Paolo Di Canio waving his hand around like that—it’s one thing to act tough behind a screen, but man, you really ought to fly down to some deep corner of the American South or maybe somewhere in the rural Deep South and try telling a local hardliner something against the old guard there; you'd see how fast things would go south and just swallow you whole😁 😁

The darkness would swallow you up for much less than that. 😁

To me, Paolo Di Canio was an absolute legend on the pitch. I remember watching him tear it up at West Ham, and man, he was just phenomenal.. as for how he is now, I'm not really getting into that.

He’s a fascist first and a footballer second. But since he’s a fascist, why should I bother caring about his football career?
