Mexico City, July 24 (ASMexico).- Tremendous problem created the Atlas the use of their social networks. What started as a problem with Gabriel Montiel, influencer better known as “Werevertumorro”ended in a terrible message that caused the inconvenience from Jewish community. The red and black institution used a phrase from Minister I knew Joseph Goebbels for “fend” of the accusations to receive repeated arbitration help.
Atlas posted a Photography in which he demonstrated the forward position which was marked in the final minutes of the match against New York City FC and that the referee had not seen in First instance. Thanks to that, I disallowed the goal of the tie for him american paintinghey the Foxes could retain the 1-0 winin its debut inside of Leagues Cup. But the problem was the message with which they accompanied said image.
“This shot is crystal clear, offside happens on the first play. It is unfortunate how influencers and people from the ‘analyst’ media manipulate by generating ideas of ‘supposed aid’, but remembering what Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Information (Hitler’s right-hand man) said, applied it perfectly: ‘lie, lie, lie that something will remain, the bigger a lie the more people will believe it’. @werevertumorro,” the club wrote.

On Sunday, Montiel had published: “Today they helped Atlas and they will say, not that the arbitration was against Liga MX. I swear to you that the opinion of a lot of people does influence… do you remember when in Liga MX everyone favored Atlas until people began to point it out and out of nowhere the favors disappeared. Well, something like that happened today. What happened yesterday was rude.”
The reaction of the Foxes came with a message that was very poorly received, due to what it implies to quote the Nazi regime to defend a position. Montiel responded immediately, sarcastically.
“Atlas just made a mention to me explaining the misplacement, citing a Nazi. By the way, explain this to me, but with fascism”, he wrote next to a famous image in which Anderson Santamaría breaks Ignacio Dinenno’s nose with an elbow in the Semifinals, something that the referee did not mark at the time and the Foxes headed for their first title in 70 years.
Today they helped Atlas and they will say: “Not that the arbitration was against the mx league?” I swear to you that if the opinion of a lot of people influences… do you remember when in ligamx everyone was in favor of Atlas until people started pointing it out and out of nowhere…
