Default Re: Did Arnie Really Deserve This?

The article states Arnold asked for it to be taken off.

He asked for it to be taken off because he knew that it was inevitably going to be taken off anyway:

"After Williams' December 13 execution triggered a firestorm in Europe and reignited calls for Graz's stadium to be stripped of Schwarzenegger's name, the governor opted for a pre-emptive strike: A week ago, he wrote a letter to local officials ordering his name to be removed and said he was returning an ornate ring of honor that Graz officials gave him in 1999."

Sounds like he was sick of his name being dragged through the mud by the politicians in Graz so he put an end to it on his own.
