在佛罗里达州奥兰多基亚中心举办的一场格斗赛事中,已定罪的白人至上主义者保罗·米勒在击败犹太对手本·阿祖莱后,通过竞技场扬声器使用反犹太侮辱性语言,并至少行了两次纳粹礼 1。赛事现场的观众中还有人携带大型纳粹旗帜进入竞技场 1。
民主党官员与市政府对此事件做出回应。州代表安娜·埃斯卡马尼表示,"这是我们社会中极端主义如何普遍的又一提醒" 1。然而,奥兰多市政府在声明中为举办该活动进行了辩护,指出"作为公共场所的经营者,城市受第一修正案的约束" 1。
米勒曾因非法持有枪支被判处41个月监禁,属于极端分子和白人至上主义者 1。
An MMA event held at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, has drawn widespread condemnation following antisemitic conduct by the victorious fighter. 1 Paul Miller, a convicted white supremacist who served 41 months in prison for illegal firearms possession, defeated Jewish opponent Ben Asulay and subsequently used antisemitic slurs over the arena's public address system while performing Nazi salutes on at least two occasions. 1 Attendees also brought large Nazi flags into the venue. 1
Democratic state representative Anna Eskamani responded to the incident by stating that it served as "another reminder of how pervasive extremism is in our society." 1 The Orlando municipal government issued a statement defending its decision to host the event, asserting that "as an operator of a public facility, the city is bound by the First Amendment." 1 Asulay, Miller's opponent, was convicted in 2011 of sexually assaulting a minor and maintains over 500,000 followers on Instagram. 1
