If he's Greek, he knew what he was doing, otherwise he's mentally retarded. He's banned for life because that Greek football team does not want their employees showing to the world that they are OK with paying homage to the what history has judged the most evil genocidal tyrant we have ever known. There are still a great many people who were alive in that time, and a great many people who fought in that war, and a great many people who suffered in that war.
It would be logically stupid to just let this slide. It has nothing to do with "Oh, well this might not be politically correct!" That's a a silly American view, and this isn't the US we're talking about. This is a place where people don't want to be rememinded of those atrocities they suffered not because some silly person with a bow-tie decides "Oh, I think that must be offensive, so I am going to be offended." This decision was made by the logic that there would be backlash otherwise.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
