Di Canio sorry 'if someone is hurt' by fascism quotes

Sunderland’s new manager Paolo Di Canio today apologised to anyone who has been offended by his comments after David Miliband quit his role at the football club due to the Italian’s “past political statements”.

Di Canio, who was reported to have said he was a fascist and appeared to give an open-handed salute while playing for Italian side Lazio in 2005, denied he was a racist and said his comments were taken out of context.
