Sunderland Football Club introduced an official record today wanting to diffuse the controversy about the appointment of new manager Paolo Di Canio, who a' as some believe a is a self-proclaimed fascist. The membership has additionally moved quickly to stamp out claims of racist beliefs. But by doing so, Sunderland have opened up a can of worms. Nowhere in the 663 concept record does Paolo Di Canio suggest that heas not a fascist. Rather, he sidestepped the matter by saying: aI donat desire to discuss politics since itas not my place. We are perhaps not in the Houses of Parliament, we are in a soccer club. I do want to speak about activity. I want to discuss my people, football, the Board and the lovers. My first priority is my children and my daughters, thatas clear, and secondly to truly have the responsibility for thousands of people. This is my priority and I want to be focused on this factor. I donat desire to speak any longer about politics a' I am not a politics person.a Sunderland CEO Margaret Byrne, nevertheless, said: aTo accuse him now, as some have done, of being a racist or having fascist sympathies, is insulting not merely to him but to the strength with this basketball club.a Whether Di Canio is just a fascist or not, itas ridiculous of Sunderland and Di Canio to expect that questions about the new manageras political values wouldn't enter into question specially after Sunderland government directorADavid Miliband resigned yesterday in protest at Di Canioas consultation. In order to put this problem to bed, a greater transfer by Sunderland might have visited promote Di Canio in the future out and admit that heas not just a fascist. Until Di Canio addresses the matter head-on, I donat start to see the conflict melting. In his autobiography, which was ghost-written by journalist Gabriele Marcotti, Di Canio said that fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was misunderstood. But, that same passage in the book includes Di Canio condemning the former Italian leader. Controversy was also generated by di Canio when he made a salute (pictured above). In accordance with Marcotti, aThatas a fascist salute to Lazio fans who produced [the] same [salute] straight back. Itas their salute. [Di Canio was] not making [a] nazi statement.a Regardless of this, in a interview, Di Canio announced himself aa fascist, not just a racist.a The question remains regarding whether he still thinks himself a or not, that has gone unanswered in the state statement from Sunderland. While the club states aNeither Sunderland AFC, nor Paolo Di Canio, will make further remark on this matter,a in my opinion the club and manager need to address the situation in the coming days normally the dispute goes to begin influencing the manager and Sunderland players on the frequency. What do you think in regards to the controversy? Should Di Canio turn out and answer comprehensively the question right, or must politics and football not mix? Discuss your thoughts in the remarks section below.
