Worst part is it's generic statement. So whoever fined him is just generally pro genocide.

You think if he had something like "stop pedophile" they'd probably find him to for being anti american govt.

Historically speaking, genocide has usually been very profitable and popular. Just ask native Americans, if you want to know more about the motivations and economic impact.

This is the part that's weird. I have no clue which genocide it even refers to. There are multiple I can think of.

Could be anything from Palestine to Uyghurs to even some weird white supremacist conspiracy theory of white genocide. It's generic enough that it can't really even be called political at this point.

“Maybe for some we have the wrong nationality, the wrong faith, the wrong skin color.

But we are humans and we should be treated as such.”

“Is there a UN charter for Israel that is different from the charter we all have?Tell us.

. . . Do they have the right to kill, and the only right we have is to die?

This guy is clearly an antisemite - doesn’t he know Israelis were promised this genocide 3000 years ago?! It’s their ancestral heritage to headshot those children!

Gladiators are paid to fight, not to polemicize. — Roman Football League, probably

Fine was for violating uniform and equipment rule ( don't know the rule). Funny (odd, not lol) that corporate icons are ok but not humane messaging. I guess messages are subjective and they want to appeal to as wide a range of people as possible, even ones committing genocide 🤷‍♂️

Looks like section 4 article 8, personal messages. They can't be political. Yet having military fly overs and propaganda is good .
