To be honest he isn't just an "Israeli manager"... He's part of the BB-Team even tho they remove his "CM-" (but he still have GM- powers, so everything is a mock).

I like to add his number 88 referred to the double H, nazi salute.

Very well noted.
It is clear that he did it on purpose.
It is an apology for Nazism!

You could definitely argue it's inappropriate and should be removed, but get a grip of yourself - making a silly joke about someone's name is hardly "apology for Nazism".

Everybody knows his history in this game, if you dont know it, just shut up, please.

The nickname could be seen as a poor taste joke, but the 88 thing puts it over the threshold for me. That's not an accident.

I'd personally be up for banning all Israeli teams currently, but that doesn't appear likely, and if we do that we should question the actions of the US overseas, which have happened for how long...and if we want to ban them when it's a US run site...

the UK are obviously also very complicit in current US/Israeli actions / historical shit, so you can ban us too...if a country can't be part of a civilised/peaceful society, then they shouldn't have nice things.

BB is a game. Game.

The definition of a game:

'An activity that one engages in for amusement or fun.'

1. To those managers who use BB as a means of promoting inappropriate, distasteful and/or racist views...please refer to the above definition and consider how your actions might affect other managers.

2. To those who are offended by those managers who use BB as a means of promoting inappropriate, distasteful and/or racist views...please refer to the above definition...and consider that some managers will use BB as a means of promoting inappropriate, distasteful and/or racist views without consideration and regardless of others.

We can only control what we can control.

It is surprising that someone as active in the forums as Alonso has neither taken a position on this issue nor changed his name or number.:

For someone who is supposed to have a regulatory role as GM/CM, this is pathetic.

You can't dismiss it by saying that it "doesn't show great maturity" when history is denied and ridiculed when the feelings of an entire nation and religion are hurt.

Yes, this is a game, everyone should have fun, so just leave politics, religion and hate out of here.

@alonso: change it!

There are some red lines that are not okay to cross, in a game or anywhere else. And Nazism is one of them.

it is absurd that a citizen of Israel thinks it is ok to put the nickname Hitler on one of his players.

I saw Hadolf, did he put the whole H-word as a nickname?

And that he is committing a genocide against the people of Palestine.

I didn't know that Alonso is personally engaging in military warfare against another country.

"coincidence" that the name of the team is doctorkill?!

You're reaching.

So the apology for Nazism HAS TO BE FOUGHT.

True but I don't see how he apologized for nazism or perpetuated Lebensraum propaganda by using that nickname. While I think that his action was too edgy, too poor in taste, and simply inappropriate, I don't see how his actions could possibly reflect an indication of him championing Third Reich sympathies.

So please point to me where he apologizes or condones nazism, and I'll be behind you immediately.


Btw, the amount of jokes I have seen about Alonso's jewishness-, that took it slightly too far in some cases, in both discord and public forums should also be a point of concern for you no? It can also be considered as an apology for nazism no? Where do you draw the line?
If we really have to have a discussion on community guidelines concerning hate crimes and other forms of discriminatory speech, then I hope I will find you in the public forums with the same amount of zeal and enthusiasm, instead of condemning Alonso of a serious (baseless) accusation because of a shit edgy joke he made.
