The 56-year-old was suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan.

Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting "duce, duce", which translates as "leader, leader" and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

"I did it and I don't regret it because I admire Mussolini, he did great things for Italy as Franco did for Spain," Bernabe said in 2021.

They fire him for showing his dick online and not for being openly fascist at one of the games they invited him to be at in an official capacity... oh, football culture.

I mean, not to try and come up with excuses or anything but Lazio is very well known for being supported by fascists, their hooligan group is doing shit like this all the time.

Just to get the point across, a nickname for the club is SS Nazio. This guy is not even the worst I’ve seen from them, not by a long shot.

I’ve been put off by antics like this for a long time before “discovering” football. It turns out this sport is great fun to follow. Being so universal though, a lot of what you’ll find online trying to keep up with it is content made by and made for the absolute dregs of society.

🎵 detachable penis

Sometimes, after a party, an eagle carries it off into a nest somewhere.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He has to buy it back off the eagle. Eagle usually wants $22 but sometimes he can be talked down to $17.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He took it home and washed it, now he can pee standing up again.

Honestly, he likes having a detachable pp.

He missed the chance to get sponsorship from Snap-On Tools.

I just realized the mascot is clearly a bald eagle, misidentified by the club as an "Alaskan golden eagle." Many, many layers of weirdness here. https://www.sslazio.it/en/la-nostra-casa/olimpia

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

bald eagles look like golden eagles until they are a couple years old and then they start to get the white feathers on their head and tail (when puberty hits)

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, maybe they misidentified and decided to stick with it

I’m sorry, I feel like a crazy person here. What the duck is a prosthetic penis?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Some people have a prosthetic penis put in that can be essentially made erect at the push of a button, either for treatment of an ailment, or as a bizarre body modification (for vanity reasons rather than therapeutic). Apparently, this guy did the latter

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s wild! Does the can still feel sensation or is it just like a silicon thing that is connected?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not urologist, and I don't really want to do a deep dive about it so I don't get ads about it. But it sounds like some sort of insert replacing the internal erectile tissue so they can still have sensations

What would you do if you had a million bucks?

Yes, Mr. Fascist-who-thought-posting-those-photos-was-normal-behavior, I'm sure it was the size of your penis that potential partners found off-putting... Surely you've solved the issue now.
