Personally I understand its a bad joke, in bad taste but not the end of the world. However, the immaturity and complete arrogance to keep insisting on it trying to be "edgy" by masking it is just completely unacceptable coming from someone who forms part (or say they do) of the staff.

I find it unbelievable that no one from the new ownership addresses this, so I for one will vote with the only thing they have shown to care so far... my wallet.

I for one wont renew my supporter while they keep someone in their staff that acts like a man child antagonizing the community. BB-Marco, please come forward and state what this person's role is, if they hold any, and if they do take immediate action.

PS: I'm anti fascist. That kind of anti-fascism that still remember regimes first move is always to ban FREE speech.

Sounds more like you're a free speech absolutist. Anti-fascists tend to know that in a tolerant society, you must be intolerant to intolerance. We can't just be out there normalizing Nazism.

The fact of just changing the language thinking that we are stupid or something it’s mad. He doesn’t care a bit about the community thinks, for me he should not be involved in anything relative to manage in BB for a second longer. After everything that he has donde in the past, now doing such a disgusting thing and not regretting about it but laught at our faces it’s wild.

For me it’s clear #AlonsoOut

If Alonso were not part of the game staff, his 'joke' would bother me, but it would be up to the GMs to decide whether it is sanctionable or not. The problem arises if he is (supposedly) part of the game staff, which would mean that his words represent those of the current owners of BB.

Therefore, if Alonso makes an apology for Nazism, jokingly or not, until there is a clarification from the new staff, I will assume that they do not see anything wrong with this situation and that they are not opposed to the apology for Nazism.

What really bothers me is the awkward silence from someone on the BB staff.
No GM has even dared to write anything, but let's not lie... If we were talking about some other manager, this thread would already be closed and everything solved.

I was reading the Discord tonight and there was also an accusation towards Alonso, referring to him advising other managers to buy 34-year-old players at the end of last season, before the implementation of the new age-limit of dropping skills.
No evidence, but also no denial... I'm sure someone in his position wouldn't dare to do this, but it's funny that his name always comes up in every case that doesn't bring anything good to the game; we all here have seen some of his posts in Forums of other countries after playing against Israel.

In the end, it's one action after another, which shouldn't matter, but coming from who it's coming from, it's something that shouldn't happen anymore.

A GM without title in the nickname. The special one.

That is fine and dandy but this is the same guy who banned someone for giving a player a sexual nickname.
I think it was Dan "long dong" Silver. In my opinion, if you can't follow the rules, don't try and enforce them on others.
