    One more point. That is a guy who is making sport show, a star. He is expected by public to be "a real man". In that situation he had several options to earn respect from simple public. He could take a banana and make with it something funny, he could throw a banana back, he could show a middle finger or a fist to the banana thrower, he could just ignore the situation - that would be good enough. Instead he behaved like a spoiled child.

    After that he must be ready to expect much more bananas from his former fans, I think.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    If you'd watch the video you'd see that he actually trew it back before he left the stadium.
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!
