Australian soccer player to be disciplined for dressing as Hitler By Reuters

An Australian professional soccer player who attended a club celebration dressed as Adolf Hitler will be disciplined after Jewish groups complained

A second player, Tony Vidmar, who dressed as God for the "Mad Monday" celebration in the beachside resort of Terrigal, north of Sydney, donning white robes and blackening his face, would also face a disciplinary hearing

Australia/Israel Jewish Affairs Council spokesman Allon Lee said Gumprecht's costume after his team lost the A-League Grand Final 1-0 to the Newcastle Jets was "clearly in poor taste".

"Even if it was done in jest, he is a role model and he should consider the impact of his actions,"

"Such behaviour is not only stupid, but is also not tolerated by the FFA,"

"Hitler was such a monster and for a lot of people, it's a very sensitive thing to be confronted with," Ernie Friedlander, a spokesman for the Jewish community group B'nai B'rith
