Let’s laugh at them especially after the hypocrisy displayed regarding the Ozil issue. He said he had suffered racism from the hierarchy and instead got criticised for pointing this out by certain German players as well as his “political opinions” on the issue with uighur Muslims in china.
Don’t have issues with Voicing concerns but the hypocrisy of it all is quite telling.
It was nothing about Uighur muslims at that time. It was about him and a meeting with Erdogan and a posting of him at that time (something like my president) - Erdogan had several Turkish-German citizens in prison - and somehow the question if he was in the German national team because he is German or because it was the best career option for him even if he feels a lot more turkish.
This nationality and affiliation question for sure is something other nations with a lot of migrants can relate to, too.
Özil got a lot criticism for that photo and the post - partly it was political as Erdogan was a NoGo in German politics at that time especially for human rights activists, and yes, it surely triggerered a lot racists to voice their opinion. Topics like this always fuel right wing movements.
At the end Özil and his agents greenwashed themself as the poor culprits of right wingers and pointed the German FA and everybody else as the bad ones...
