Lazio Fires Mascot Handler Over Explicit Posts

Juan Bernabe, the falconer for Italian soccer club Lazio, was fired after posting graphic images of his recent prosthetic penis surgery on social media. Bernabe, who previously faced controversy for making fascist salutes, shared the explicit content on his private account, which later went viral. Lazio's management expressed shock and stated they could no longer associate with him due to the seriousness of his behavior. In interviews, Bernabe defended his actions, claiming he had the surgery for enhanced sexual performance and asserting that he sees nudity as normal. The club acknowledged the disappointment among fans regarding the loss of their eagle mascot during home games. Despite the backlash, Bernabe stated he has no regrets about sharing the images, emphasizing the medical aspect of the procedure.
