In Schwarzenegger's hometown of Graz, local Greens said they would file a petition to remove his name from the southern city's sports stadium. A Christian political group went even further, suggesting it be renamed the "Stanley Tookie Williams Stadium."

"Mr. Williams had converted, and unlike Mr. Schwarzenegger, opposed every form of violence," said Richard Schadauer, the chairman of the Association of Christianity and Social Democracy.

It's on the third page of this article:

.... One was to name the Stadium after the Crips, the gang that Williams founded, but that idea did not get widespread support. Another was to name it Hakoah, after an Austrian Jewish sports club that was banned after Hitler annexed Austria in 1938.
