A Nazi flag was brandished inside Orlando’s Kia Center during a crypto‑casino‑sponsored kick‑boxing event that also featured participants identified as white supremacists. Orlando’s city government publicly condemned the flag, citing First Amendment constraints while denouncing the hate symbol, as reported by balgarianovinite.com. A Michigan Senate nominee issued an apology linked to the event after remarks about a synagogue attack, noted by THEJ.CA.
The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism highlighted the crypto casino sponsorship and white supremacist involvement. Orlando Weekly described the flag brandishing, and stereogum.com quoted the Kia Center’s statement that it “cannot deny access because we disagree.” The incident places the Kia Center at the center of a legal‑rights debate and could prompt city council or state regulators to review venue licensing policies.
