EspañolSpurs 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.

Why Lions traded David Montgomery to Texans for small return

The Detroit Lions have split Knuckles from Sonic.
Their two-headed backfield is now just one. David Montgomery has been traded to the Houston Texans on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Texans are sending a fifth-round pick back to the Lions.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler wrote about this over the weekend.
"The Lions' David Montgomery wants out, has a reasonable contract (owed $6 million in 2026) and is 28," Fowler wrote. "That has value. Word out of Indy is that Detroit would want a decent Day 3 pick (possibly a fifth-rounder) in return."
He got the cost right, and Montgomery now goes to Houston.

Why did the Lions trade David Montgomery to the Texans?
Montgomery's trade is mostly about empowering Gibbs.
The younger back already took over the RB workload in 2025 after it had been an even split previously.
Montgomery is 28 now, and running backs often fall off rather quickly.
This move gets the Lions value back for Montgomery before injury or decline hits him.
Montgomery still ran for eight touchdowns in 2025 despite the reduced workload.
He also averaged 4.5 yards per carry in the recent campaign, showing that when given the chance, Monty is still a quality player.
It'll just be with the Texans now, not the Lions.
