Ignorant morons

[Wmaker]

Swedish hockey team chairman parted ways with the Swedish lower division hockey team because the chairman, Mr. Lars Janzonin had used Phil Lawton's excellent restorated Hurricane as a background image on his Facebook page:

http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/sverige/allsvenskan/article21512676.ab

...and that was the reason to drop Mr. Janzon from his position because, as the team coach Per Kenttä explains; "We strongly resign from racism and nazism..."

If something in this world deserves a face palm, this would be it.

Effin' ignorant dimwits...

Geez you would think a Swede would know about the Von Rosen Cross from a neighboring European country. Its shocking and sad that so many people no jack-all about history and especially the histories of their own countries and regions. 

...ignorant morons is right.

Sounds like a good excuse for a gloves off hockey fight too!

He simply should not have used a picture of the Hurrikan, Nazi Germany's most iconic WW2 fighter!

Please tell me this Mr Janzon can sue them for this.

Well is it defamation of character - they basically called him a racist and threatened his professional career with such.

Swede Hockey doesn't have any fights 



You come to Merica(cananda) to see the split lips and busted eyes on the ice

The funniest thing is that von Rosen was a Swede himself and the blue swastika was his personal lucky symbol which along with the donated plane became the symbol of FAF.

...so far.

I do agree that it was patetic to involve the pic of the Hurricane in this but nevertheless had the said chairman on several occasions before made posts of Fb that were not exactly up to the standard required by a chairman.

Is hockey particularly big in Sweden then or is this like the BBC reporting that the manager of the Acrington Stanley 3rd division tiddlywinks team has resigned?

There has been 274 Swedes that played/play in the NHL. The NHL is the top hockey league in the world.

Sweden is one of the top hockey countries. Canada, USA, Russia and Finland being the others.

The team is currently playing in the 2nd highest Division so things like this will definitly get some attention.
