No,You confuse the Roman salute with a Nazi salute that is simply a recognition of the support he has for Bayern Munich fans who came see their team win and to the final. Schweinsteiger simply pointed up to the stands otherwise what were you watching?

Haha, no D. Bastian Schweinsteiger is a BIG Basketball fan. He does this all the time after a penalty when he nets the ball. Since he loves basketball, he does that because the ball went in. So he jumps and pretends to shoot a basketball. Watch it again. Here watch it if u don't believe me.

Germans are ashamed of anything Nazi related, they are the last people who want to mess around with it. Nobody jokes about it, its not funny.

Yeah it was just you.

btw. I mean serious why someone allways has to bring up the Nazis when a german

team plays in football?

Wow they won so they have the be nazis right?

I mean serious what kind of "logic" is this?

Yes, i saw the same thing,i just had a conversation with my son about it and both of us have the same impression. I'm surprised that no one else on the news commented about it. But on the other hand sometimes is better just to leave it like that. I thing this was one of those ocassions. But i wont forget that....

This salute is one form dissimulated of allusion at nazi salute.And so to avoid be target of criticism in germany.

The Nazi salute is misnamed because it is actually the "American salute" from the USA. The USA's Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the Nazi salute and of Nazi behavior (see the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry). It continues to be the source of Nazi behavior in the USA and elsewhere. Francis Bellamy was an American national socialist and influenced German national socialists, the dogma, gestures, rituals and symbols (including the use of the swastika as crossed S-letters for "socialism"). Hitler learned the American nazi gesture from Harvard grad Ernst Hanfstaengl.

It was not an "ancient Roman salute" as the ancient Roman salute is a debunked myth. The concept of the Roman salute did not even exist until around the 1920's (see the work of Dr. Rex Curry and also the Oxford English Dictionary for proof of how recent the phrase and concept "Roman salute" is).

The painting "Oath of the Horatii" does not show the "ancient Roman salute" and the painter never used that phrase or concept, as that phrase/concept did not exist at that time. The painting shows three people reaching for weapons and two of them are using the left hand. Similarly, Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892) did not use the phrase/concept "ancient Roman salute" as that phrase/concept did not exist during the time that Bellamy created the pledge (1892).

Bellamy clearly explained the origin of the early pledge salute (a military salute extended outward to point at the flag). In practice the second gesture was performed palm down by disinterested children forced into the robotic daily chanting ritual. Francis Bellamy was from Rome, New York (not Rome, Italy).

The Oath of Horatii lie was created by liars on Wakipedia after the liars were exposed when wikipedia previously lied that old Roman statues showed the ancient Roman salute, and all those wikipedia lies were deliberately manufactured in an effort to hide the truth that was exposed by Dr. Curry (that the USA and the Pledge of Allegiance is the origin of the Nazi salute and of Nazi behavior).

Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy (cousins and cohorts) were American national socialists who influenced German national socialists (nazis).

The USA and the Pledge continue to be the source of Nazi behavior. The USA has been, and continues to be, a police state. Stop the Pledge.

lol he didn't
