Original Note:
Viewers may benefit from knowing that of the 4 gestures, the Turkish one is ultra-nationalist (the others being rather patriotic according to sources) with major racist public connotations as in the EM. In Austria, it’s illegal to perform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_salute https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240703-turkey-summons-german-envoy-in-row-over-demiral-s-nationalist-gesture https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-turkey-clash-football-merih-demiral-wolf-gesture-austria-uefa-euro-far-right/ https://www.euronews.com/2024/07/03/uefa-investigates-turkeys-merih-demiral-for-ultra-nationalist-salute-during-goal-celebrati https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/german-minister-condemns-turkish-players-gesture-display-racism-2024-07-03/
