The FA have released their reasons for clearing Hennessey of the 'Nazi salute' allegation from the Crystal Palace team-bonding meal in January.
Seems he is not racist, which is good news, but he is incredibly ignorant. How can anyone not know what a Nazi salute is?

Maybe it was just his defence. I’ve heard he’s not the sharpest tool mind.
After seeing the photos of him shouting when he’s in goal I’m convinced it wasn’t a Nazi salute too. Every photo of the guy shouting looks the same.
Saying that just seen the original again, it looks pretty bad :hehe:
God knows how many un-PC things many of us did before the ubiquitous smartphones captured such things at every turn.
You're quite right but these guys in the public eye have all sorts of media training and if he didnt realise the implications of his actions we are in a scary place. A 30 year old to not have the slightest of knowledge the effect that fascism had in Europe in the 30s and 40s is scary. No wonder the likes of Farage and Robinson have gained so much support.Quote:

While I wouldn't upload it to social Media ( and he did not in fairness )
I really hope it is not now going to be wrong to do Nazi salutes in a comedic context, it is a great tonic to laugh and ridicule at the Nazi regime, Salutes have been used by comedians and in film/tv since day 1.
I remember as a child my granddad and myself used it to wind my mother up (she had a reputation of being bossy) and we called her my fuhrer salute and all, I found it hilarious and my granddad obviously had a sense of humour considering he served and lost half his family during ww2.
I agree. Also, it was people in their 20's and 30's who voted for Hitler at the time too. Older Germans were generally more wary of old Adolf.Quote:

Just seen the photo for the first time. Hard pressed to say it was anything else really.
Wayne Hennessey is ‘desperate’ to learn about the Nazis, says Roy Hodgson
