Fan Kicked Out of US Open for Allegedly Using ‘Famous Hitler Phrase’ at Alexander Zverev
New York Post ^ | Sep. 5, 2023 | Bridget Reilly and Nika Shakhnazarova

A fan was kicked out of Arthur Ashe Stadium in the early hours of Tuesday morning after Alexander Zverev claimed the man said “the most famous Hitler phrase there is.”

While the German star emerged victorious after beating Jannik Sinner in five sets to land himself a spot in the quarter-final, the match wasn’t without controversy.

As the pair were locked 2-2 in the fourth set, Zverev couldn’t take it anymore and stormed over to the chair umpire to complain about the fan’s shocking remark. “It’s unacceptable,” Zverev, 26, told umpire James Keothavong, who instantly turned around to ask the fan to reveal themselves.

“I have been watching the matches. The NY Fans are obnoxious slobs.”

Yes, they are almost as bad as the haughty, arrogant, Great Bitcin’ subjects of the king/queen.

True- written in 1841, to Joseph Haydn’s tune. After WW II, which btw did not have hitler or nazi’s changing the lyrics— the lyrics were the same until after the loss of the war.

Officially- the German National Anthem consists of the last stanza of lyrics, the 3rd one... and ONLY the 3rd one (which is of course ridiculous and part of “de-nazification” removing lyrics that predate the 1920s thru 1940s by 100 years.

Here they are, not containing the “offensive lyric”:

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
sind des Glückes Unterpfand:
|: Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :|

Perpetuating the stereotype of the dumb athlete.

Yes, because, as you know:

Whistle while you work.
Hitler is a jerk,
Mussolini bit his weenie,
Now it doesn't work.

The article mentioned “New York” fans negatively. How do they know he’s a New Yorker?

Hitler has only got one ball
Goering, has two but they are small
Himmler, is rather sim’lar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all

He said “S—g H—l!” and he’s lucky all he got was kicked out.

Zverev’s ignorance is truly astounding. He is not even aware of his nation’s national anthem. He appears embarrassed about his nation’s history. Do Russians and Chinese have similar feelings? After all Germany comes in a poor third in the mass murder competition. Also, “ask the fan to reveal themselves”. Are we getting into the new pronoun designations?

Not necessarily. One may not say FIRE in a crowded theater
