Reference/content modifications

The claims made by Tamir Bar-On in his book "Where are all the fascists gone?" with regards to football teams from Rome are devoid of any substantial evidence, in fact, they are probably entirely fictitious. No study has ever been conducted to prove that one team has a larger Jewish fan base than the other, and Mussolini tried to have Lazio dissolved and merged into AS Roma, so he definitely was not a Lazio fan. This has lead me to remove Bar-On's source as its references are fictitious. This resulted in some changes in the "Post World War II" section, specifically the third paragraph in the 'Italy' subsection.

Mention of the hand gesture in old sources

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Saying some kind of right hand gesture is not mentioned in any source is a bit of a stretch. I think that segment should be rewritten. I know of at least one mention of right hand gesture in "Judean War" written by Josephus. Here's what he says when describing rituals of Roman soldiers upon going to campaign and breaking camp:...Then does the crier stand at the general’s right hand, and asks them thrice, in their own tongue, whether they be now ready to go out to war or not. To which they reply as often, with a loud and cheerful voice, saying, “We are ready.” And this they do almost before the question is asked them: they do this as filled with a kind of martial fury, and at the same time that they so cry out, they lift up their right hands also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.149.0.110 (talk) 11:27, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
