From my understanding it meant to be the Nazi salute. On this day and age, this is inexcusable, even as a joke. That was a dumb move.What does that mean?
From uncle google:From my understanding it meant to be the Nazi salute. On this day and age, this is inexcusable, even as a joke. That was a dumb move.
Better if he said he was trying to say Siegfried.From uncle google:
"Sieg Heil is a German phrase, which literally means "For ensured victory", or "For The Win"." As far as I know, Sieg Heil means "Say hail".
Even if it means “for the win” it still indicates a nazi shit in there unfortunately
A coach and interviewer were speaking German and Van Basten responds with Sieg Heil at the end of it when they switch back to the studio. There is no further context other than it being tasteless.Is there some actual context to any of this or are we just supposed to be outraged? What was the match? Who was he taking to etc? Is there a translation of the actual conversation?

dutch people seem to have a very strange kind of humor.
a friend of mine told me about a "comedian" that made fun of people with cancer, muslims, gay people and down syndrome. His name was hanz teeuw or something
then again they have national blackface day in 2019.
Not sure if this country is taken serious even in europe ;P
You should join resetera.
Thing is, us Dutch people in general aren't so overly sensitive.dutch people seem to have a very strange kind of humor.

That's exactly what my friend told me,Thing is, us Dutch people in general aren't so overly sensitive.
It all must probably seem weird, because especially in the US everybody gets offended by every little thing.
And about that blackface day, it's actually the origin for Santa, his elves and Xmas.
Saint Nicholas was a Turkish bishop who fled to Spain and freed child slaves by paying them money, thus making them independent.
It's just a small vocal minority within the black community who get triggered and they in turn triggered a small minority of neonazis. And now everything gets blown out of proportion by social media.
If people want to discuss racist things, better focus on Black Friday.
Yeah it's only the biggest trade partner of the largest economy in Europe.dutch people seem to have a very strange kind of humor.

That's exactly what my friend told me,
Dutch people are the opposite of sensitive. And do not give a shit at all. But it's hardly a surprise that it tends to rise some eyebrows.
Like saying sieg heil on live television.
You mean a Greek bishop from the Byzantine EmpireThing is, us Dutch people in general aren't so overly sensitive.

Dunno, seems pretty normal to me.That's exactly what my friend told me,

That's not something that happens on the regular.Like saying sieg heil on live television.
No, Turkish.You mean a Greek bishop from the Byzantine Empire
There was no such place as Turkey when he lived. It was the Byzantine Empire. No such place as Turkey existed. It was Greek and so was he.No, Turkish.
He was born in Patara and became bishop of Myra, both located in Turkey.
Edit:
Correction
I stand corrected, you're right.There was no such place as Turkey when he lived. It was the Byzantine Empire. No such place as Turkey existed. It was Greek and so was he.
It's basically saying 'bye, you german nazi fucker'.It's just Dutch dark humor that stems from the hate towards Germans after WWII.
Thanks, first post that actually explains the situation and mentality behind it. It’s way overblown of course but that’s the world we’re living in at the moment.It's basically saying 'bye, you german nazi fucker'.
Every german I know would just laugh about it and then make jokes about the dutchs expense. Usually something about cheese, smoking weed, them travelling with slow trailers on the Autobahn, their silly accent, or that we occupied them during war.
People are just too sensitive these days.
If he'd said it in Germany, it would have been a punishable offense. And rightfully so, fuck him.It's basically saying 'bye, you german nazi fucker'.

Afaik it is a punishable offense in the Netherlands too, when used in a different context.If he'd said it in Germany, it would have been a punishable offense. And rightfully so, fuck him.
Good.Afaik it is a punishable offense in the Netherlands too, when used in a different context.
Same as performing the nazi salute or denying the holocaust.
FIFA, FIA, and other federations supposed to represent all sorts of sports are full of corrupted Asstwats. They are here just to suck the economy dry and to get their pockets full of money.Players accused of rape and other atrocities are still in the FIFA games. Saying "Sieg heil" and pretty much immediately apologizing for it and donating that week's salary to a WWII charity is pretty damn low on that list I'd imagine.
But honestly who cares. Fuck soccer, fuck FIFA, fuck EA. It all sucks ass anyway.
Hans Teeuwen, as he's called is just as racist, rude etc as all those American comedians, but at least HE dares say it. People know he is a rough one when it comes to humor.. You either find it amusing in a comical context, or you dont. No need to bash an entire nation about it.dutch people seem to have a very strange kind of humor.

You are oblivious when it comes to Blackface day. It's not even called that. It's a children's day and every butthurt person has an opinion about this, without even scratching the surface about its tradition and history.
But hey, walking along the rest of the sheep is the way to go right?
Piss the fuck off. You don't know jack shit about Holland. You think you do, but boy, oh boy, are you wrong......
So please, let's keep the IQ leveled out here and shut up ok?
Why?From my understanding it meant to be the Nazi salute. On this day and age, this is inexcusable, even as a joke. That was a dumb move.

Overly sensitive society, that's why. And when talking to any media, being considerate of how you will express yourself is always a good thing to avoid sensationalism from the media.Why?
