The Arnold Schwarzenegger Football Stadium in Austria's second-largest city Graz is to be renamed as a sign of displeasure with the city's most famous son,.
A majority of members on Graz City Council voted to rename the stadium after the Austrian-born governor of California approved the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, according to newspaper Kleine Zeitung.
The Terminator-turned-governor was born six kilometres outside Graz in the community of Thal.

More open minded tolerance and acceptance by the left.
See what happens when you defy the tolerance cops?

Stadium Renamed after Tookie's Execution
This is an example of really bad headline writing.
When you name or re-name something "after", that normally means "to be associated with." For instance, we named our daughter after Grandmother Agnes, means the girl's name is Agnes. Or, after we adopted our cat, we renamed him after Bucky in "Get Fuzzy," means you named the cat "Bucky." Therefore, when the stadium get's renamed after Tookie's Execution, the stadium is now . . . "Tookie's Execution Stadium"

After murdering tens of millions of people during the 20th Century, why don't they change the name of their country?

""It's getting on our nerves that we're again and again being criticized for Schwarzenegger's actions in California," They didn't mind all the attention when they were profiting from it. What a bunch of wusses and what 'nerves' is he referring to.

I don't mind that Europe doesn't have the death penalty, but do they have to be so preachy about it?

A couple of jugheads on the Graz City Council in Austria taking on the Governor of California. ROTFL!!! California spends more on school lunches than the sum total of Austria's national budget.
I think Stanley Stadium would be cool. Or maybe the Crips Coliseum.

I don't mind either, they'd use it on the wrong people.

Un-freakin-believable.
Europe has offically jumped the shark.
Naming stadiums for murderers. Beautiful.
