Australian referee sparks controversy at World Championship with gesture linked to white supremacists

Australian referee Shaun Evans caused significant controversy during Sunday's World Championship match between Germany and Curaçao when he made a hand gesture associated with white supremacist movements. Evans displayed what appeared to be the "White Power" symbol with his right hand, forming a circle with his thumb and index finger while extending the other fingers. The gesture has been used by far-right extremists, including Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant, who made the same symbol during his court proceedings. The incident has drawn widespread attention and criticism at the international tournament.
