FIFA’s discrimination monitor at the World Cup called Monday for a video review official to be removed for appearing to make a hand gesture resembling a white supremacist sign. When the official broadcast of Germany's game opening against Curaçao on Sunday cut pre-game to show the team of video review analysts, Shaun Evans from Australia made an “OK” symbol with his right hand in front of his right leg. In 2019, the gesture was designated as a hate symbol by the New York-based Anti-Defamation League. Fare Network, FIFA's long-time anti-discrimination partner, says the “OK” sign is a “white power symbol in global far-right circles.”
