The Arnold Schwarzenegger Football Stadium in Austria's second-largest city Graz is to be renamed as a sign of displeasure with the city's most famous son,.
A majority of members on Graz City Council voted to rename the stadium after the Austrian-born governor of California approved the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, according to newspaper Kleine Zeitung.
The Terminator-turned-governor was born six kilometres outside Graz in the community of Thal.

Crikey. I guess they'll have to find another famous Austrian politician to name their stadium after...
Someone memorable, who has withstood the test of Time.
Oh, wait. Are they naming it "after" Tookie, or not?
The original story a few days ago seemed to say that but this little article just says they're renaming it... not what they're renaming it to.
They'll have the death penalty once they have to speak arabic.
That's okay. They can rename room that tookie breathed his last as "The Terminator Tank".
Hasta la vista, baby.

OK, I get it now. The story a few days ago was quoting one lefty Austrian politician as saying they would name it for Tookie. This article is just saying that a majority of the city council voted to rename it and take off Arnie's name. Nothing about renaming it for Tookie.
They named it after Arnie to help the area, no doubt, and exploit his fame. They'll quickly choke on the association with a multiple murderer gang founder and change it to something else in a year or two. It's symbolism over sense.
There is a good chance he will end up with better stuff than a soccer field name after him in this country. The country he came to, not the one he left.
Back in London, I was having dinner in the Groucho Club -- this week's in-spot for what's left of Britain's lit gritz and nouveau rock riche -- when one person started in on the Stars And Stripes. Eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about "your country's never been invaded." (This fellow had been two during the Blitz, you see.) "You don't know the horror, the suffering. You think war is..."
I snapped. "A John Wayne movie," I said. That's what you were going to say, wasn't it? We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie -- with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You're right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They're us. WE BE BAD.
We're the baddest-@ss sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We're three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother's side. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn't give us room to park our cars. We're the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap D'Antibes. And we've got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go.
"You say our country's never been invaded? You're right, little buddy. Because I'd like to see the needle-d!cked foreigners who'd have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying 'Cheerio.' Hell can't hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, f#ck longer and buy more things than you know the names of. I'd rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than king, queen, and jack of all you Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfast and sh!t them out before lunch."
Of course, the guy should have punched me. But this was Europe. He just smiled his shabby, superior European smile.
Gladiaters,happy Romans?
Life is weirder than satire?
I guess they aren't as opposed to the death penalty as they'd like the rest of the world to believe.
And the slaughter of six million Jews didn't rate a name change?
They disgust me.
Let European culture be extinguished by Muslim extremists. It isn't worth saving.
How about the Stanley Cup?
Yep. He's gonna terminate them
Now, now. Remember the last time an Austrian ex-con got to run anything? That Adolf whatsisname went to Germany and made something of himself....and he had his little 'social club', too.
"Has been renamed the "Tookie Williams Stadium."
Radical activist propaganda's success is aided and abetted by the MEDIA focalized broadcasts. How silly and perverse, and destructive, to give credibility to Anti-American American leftists and race mongers ploying a counterfeit cause for Tookie Williams. As long as we have no stadiums in America named after Tookie, it's okay. I am sorry for Arnold S. and he deserves better recognition. Did Austria read his 5-page statement supporting his decision against clemency?
Irrational bias is always cross-eyed and myopic.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Eurotrash. It tolls for thee.
Well, there you go...no more Lederhosen or Lodenjackets for me!
