Spurs given suspended ticket ban for Nazi salutes — and more

Spurs given suspended ticket ban for Nazi salutes

Uefa has fined Tottenham Hotspur and given them a suspended ban from selling away tickets after three supporters made Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans.

The incident occurred during their Champions League fixture - which Spurs won 2-0 - at the German club's Deutsche Bank Park on 28 January.

Uefa said it issued the ban for "the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters" and it was "suspended for a probationary period of one year".

Tottenham were fined £26,000 (30,000 euros) by European football's governing body in addition to £1,966 (2,250 euros) for objects thrown by their supporters.

Spurs said the "conduct of a small number of fans" was "utterly abhorrent" and have issued them with banning orders.

"We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the club's sanctions and banning policy," said Spurs.

"The club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action. The disgusting behaviour of a minority of so-called fans on the night is in no way reflective of the values of our club and its supporters."

Last week, Real Madrid launched an investigation after a supporter allegedly performed a Nazi salute before the club's Champions League win against Benfica.

WVU had a weekend worth talking about. Come talk about it in today’s Shotgun Throwdown.

The Shotgun Throwdown is our daily open thread, a place to keep tabs on what’s happening throughout the day.

This is your space to talk through the stuff that pops up throughout the day (and night) — news, rumors, random thoughts, questions, complaints, celebrations, anything you think feels worth talking about. I’ll be dropping in anything newsworthy as the day unfolds.

West Virginia news, Big 12 chatter, realignment whispers, recruiting nuggets, coaching rumors, portal watch, TV schedule griping, or just whatever’s bouncing around your head — it’s all fair game here.

Question of the Day: No Big 12 team above .500 has ever missed the tournament. Could WVU be the first?
The precedent is on their side. The resume might not be.

MLB Spring Training Picks and Predictions for March 2: Join the Cub

Want to get more Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account here.

Spring training continues this afternoon, and I've got a pair of moneyline selections for our MLB picks.

See why I like Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs, among other selections, on Monday, March 2.

Spring Training predictions for March 2

PickOdds
Cubs CHC moneyline-105
Marlins/Cardinals Over 7.5-110
Royals KC moneyline+125

Pick #1: Cubs moneyline

Jameson Taillon hasn't had the greatest start to spring, surrendering four home runs in 3 2/3 innings of work across two starts, but that's why they play the spring games. It takes time to warm up.

The Chicago Cubs will look to rough up Cincinnati Reds righty Brady Singer, who makes his first appearance this spring. He doesn't miss a ton of bats, and if his command isn't sharp, he'll put Cincy in an early hole.

Pick #2: Marlins/Cardinals Over 7.5

I simply love it when we get spring totals below 10. I know the projected lineups are factored in, and neither the Miami Marlins nor the St. Louis Cardinals figures to be among MLB's best offenses. 

However, Adam Mazur and Andre Pallante have typically pitched to contact over their careers, and that can make things go south in a hurry. There are also some intriguing bats slated to be in the lineups, like Marlins catcher Joe Mack and first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos, and Cardinals second baseman J.J. Wetherholt.

Pick #3: Royals moneyline

I am very curious about what Grayson Rodriguez will bring to the Los Angeles Angels after being acquired from the Orioles this offseason. A former top pitching prospect, the righty missed all of 2025 with injury. Working his way back, he's bound to be shaky, as he showed by issuing three walks in 1 1/3 innings in his previous start.

His upside is through the roof, but I'll take the Kansas City Royals at plus money here, especially if Rodriguez puts the Angels in too deep of an early hole. If the total opens at 10.5 or lower, I'd be all about the Over, as well.
