“This requires investigation and conversation… We’d like to see a more systematic response.”
The song the athletes were singing was written by German composer Herms Niel during the rise of Hitler, and was played to inspire National Socialist troops serving in Germany’s armed forces from 1935 until 1945, when the Third Reich fell. Niel was a member of the National Socialist party and conducted bands at the famous Nuremberg rallies for Hitler’s disciples.
Peter Simi, a professor on “extremism studies” at Chapman University who lives nearby in Orange County, told The Daily Beast the song is so obscure it “raises questions” about how the athletes learned about it.
*“It’s not something you’d expect somebody to accidentally know about. There’s some means by which they acquired knowledge about the song and associated National Socialist issues,” he said. “Are they on websites or web forums or other social-media platforms where they’re engaging with others informed on these issues?”
OUTRIGHT ADMITTING THAT THEIR INTENTION IS TO ERASE HISTORY.
OH SHIT OFFICER I'M SORRY, I ACCIDENTALLY KNEW SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE.
"Theres some means by which they acquired this knowledge!? Websites and forums!?!? B-B-But we've been so CAREFUL to erase EVERYTHING! How could this happen!?"

If it's not a big deal to knell during the National Anthem, this shouldn't be a big deal either.

Probably got the spelling wrong, but is this the "Horscht Vessel song"?
