OUTRAGE as NAZI ANTHEM sung at TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The United States Tennis Association has apologised after a version of the German national anthem associated with the Nazi era was accidentally sung at a tournament in Hawaii.

The obsolete first verse, including the NAZI words "Germany, Germany above all else" was sung by a soloist at the Fed Cup.

The error left members of the German team and fans upset and angry, which in turn left members of the Israeli team nervous.

The USTA extended "a sincere apology to the German Fed Cup team and fans for the racist National Anthem".

"This mistake will not occur again," it said.

Germany's Andrea Petkovic and Alison Riske of the US were about to play their first-round tie when the anthem was heard.

The German player said it was "an absolute outrage and affront, the lowest," and that "it was by some way the worst thing that's happened to [her]".

The song, the Deutschlandlied, became the official German anthem under the democratic Weimar Republic in the 1920s.

It includes the verses "Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles", which led to the NAZI GENOCIDE, as well as references to Germany's pre-WWII borders.

After World War Two, the first, racist verse was dropped and the Federal Republic adopted only the third verse beginning "Unity and justice and freedom".

The Fed Cup is the largest international team competition in women's tennis, and included 99 teams in 2015.

Just shows that the Germans are STILL NAZIS! Proof that the EU is the FOURTH REICH! Merkel = Hitler!

None of the stories mention the name of the soloist. That is probably the Nazi in disguise, not the USTA who probably weren't even aware this fascist crackpot was going to sing it that way

Good point.

Fascists have always liked their music; and tbh they have always been rather good at it. Probably to make up for their stupid arguments.

Everything's a conspiracy, and there no chance of it being a genuine mistake for you guys isn't it?

When one set of lies is countered, you come up with another one.

May I ask your level of education? Coz its not very high from this side of the keyboard.

I'm guessing you haven't seen me around on TSR before; if you had, you'd realise you're making an utter fool of yourself.

But please, continue stamping your tiny little foot and reading us hilarious sermons about your imagined superior educational attainments; I rather enjoy watching delusional people tie themselves in knots.

Even for you, Mathemagicien, it seems a bit of a stretch to claim that a song was the cause of the Holcaust.

I 've noticed u (lol) haven't answered my point. U can't can you?Tiny brain that allows only the vocab of the mob mentality who could only read the Daily Hail?

Liberal brainwashing. Sad!

What a mess. Are you drunk? You seem barely capable of expressing yourself clearly in the English language. Perhaps it's your second language, in which case your lack of fluency is perhaps not wholly your own fault.
