It's only me that understood that Buffonisgood meant that calling an Italian team "Mafia" is like saying Rummenigge is a "Nazi"?
But you all seem shoked only about the Nazi thing. Probably because you think that Italian=Mafia is not that wrong after all.
Exactly.
I'm not Italian, I'm Korean-American so I don't really have a dog in this fight. That said, I was surprised that a public figure would "coincedentally" use the term "mafia" to describe Juve.
To my knowledge, Italians aren't really proud of the mafia. Just like Germans aren't about Nazis.
Would it be ok if Moggi said Bayern were Nazis who weren't treating guys like Sagnol well enough to have them re-sign with Bayern? No... Just like it's wrong for whatever his name is to say that Juve use mafia-like tactics.
It's just funny that this loser gets a free pass to say something that could be racially offensive towards Italians. But if Moggi said something about Nazis in relation to Bayern, you'd have people like Burke/Bombardier all over the place getting pissed off.
