Nazi Symbols and Racist Language Taint Orlando Combat Sports Event
Duel, an online cryptocurrency casino, hosted a combat sports event in Orlando on August 29 that drew widespread condemnation for its display of Nazi symbols and racist language. The event pitted an Israeli Jew against avowed racist Paul Miller, who performed the Hitler salute after his win.
The incident was not isolated; Duel has a history of using Nazi symbols and racist language in its gambling programming. Its owner, Ossi Ketola, is a self-described First Amendment absolutist with a history of racially charged comments.
Ketola attended a neo-fascist rally in Helsinki earlier this month, where he livestreamed the event and posted footage with the title 'Saving white Finland.' He also attended an anti-fascist rally, prompting left-wing demonstrators to chase him and his video crew.
