The truth is, I\u2019m quite calm because my conscience is clear. It was a gesture that can happen, but to say that I belong to a Nazi group, that I should be fined up to \u20ac60,000 for making that gesture\u2026 I\u2019m sorry, this guy here isn\u2019t going to swallow it and let this go much further than it needs to.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m the one who\u2019s going to talk to the club members, the club isn\u2019t going to kick me out. Now they will, of course, because someone has to pay, and it\u2019ll be me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018By the way, regarding the Nazi thing, thank God, I don\u2019t have a problem with the people of Huelva because they already know me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Look, Nazis don\u2019t hang out with black people, they don\u2019t hang out with gay people, they don\u2019t dress as women. Well, here\u2019s the Nazi, so there is something I disagree with.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This Nazi here has adopted two black people, Kalu and Abdu, and anyone who wants to can call them right now, they have their Toni here for whatever they need, because before being called a Nazi, as some want to call me, I always appeal to common sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s no guy who likes a gay more than Toni. A gay person married me because I chose him. This guy here dresses as a woman, puts on lipstick, and goes to El Rocio. I have six flamenco dresses, not one, not two, not three, six flamenco dresses. I\u2019m dying to get to El Rocio and have a party, because I love it. Here\u2019s the Nazi.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Until yesterday, I thought Nazi was a brand of gin. This weekend, since we\u2019re going to El Rocio, I said, \u2018let\u2019s take two bottles of Nazi,\u2019 but apparently, Nazi isn\u2019t a brand of gin. So, I apologise because I have no other choice, although I still don\u2019t know why, but oh well. They\u2019ve nominated me to be kicked out of the club, that\u2019s it, they\u2019ve nominated me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport
