Welp, we'll soon find out if being proud of where you're from is a worse crime than drinking the wrong drink: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/23/xhaka-and-shaqiri-goal-celebrations-bring-balkan-politics-to-world-cup

Neither of them are from Albania and neither is their family though

??? Yes they are? Do you think Xhaka and Shaqiri (the q is pronounced ch btw) are common Swiss last names?
Lol at this incredibly condescending nonsense

Are you aware people of Albanian ethnicity are from all sorts of nearby countries like FYROM, Serbia, Greece, etc?

Xhaka was born in Switzerland, his parents were born in Serbia. Shaqiri was born in what is now Kosovo.

So you're saying that they are ethnic Albanians but that doesn't count because reasons
Lol why should it count? Lets say hypothetically an ethnically german Italian player from south tyrol celebrates with, idk, a WW2 German symbol at Israeli fans would that be cool or a provocation? It's the same poo poo as doing sectarian crap in Scotland/Northern Ireland

fake thug wannabes from loving raclette eating switzerland trying to act like KLA hardmen is corny as poo poo anyway I hope FIFA throws the book at them

The thing is the KLA tried to genocide the family of Serb fans being taunted. ethnic cleansing and other atrocities were committed by both sides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Kosovo_War#Kosovo_Albanian_war_crimes

So these swiss geek players who probably grew up in a mountain valley full of cows with people in those weird swiss outfits making the Ricola commercial noise on horns should really stop acting out

Why are you so invested in whether it's ok to do fascisms? Wearing a Celtic/Rangers top isn't banned at stadiums, but singing about being up to our knees in Fenian blood is, do you see the difference? Showing affinity to an oppressed group is not the same as expressing affinity for exterminating ethnic or religious groups.

And I can guarantee you that Kosovar and Albanian refugees (and any other immigrant to Switzerland) in the 80s did not get the Swiss passport for many years after their arrival. Having permanent residency here does not entitle you to a passport or a vote and being born here does not make you Swiss unless your parents are Swiss. They had Kosovar/Albanian/Macedonian/Yugoslavian passports, but somehow that's not real enough for you and you're projecting this KLA bullshit onto it as well. You're making the whole thing up in your mind to get pissed off at the libs or something just get a grip.

The double eagle hand gesture is a KLA “gang sign”

Keep that poo poo out of sports
