Hasan Piker on Randy Fine: “I think he needs to get on Ozempic. Actually, I think he should keep eating. Let’s see how far this goes. He’s basically Israel the person. He’s just constantly expanding into territory he has no right being inside of”
Surprising no one: Israel lied. The car was not “accerating towards the soldiers”, it was fully stopped. The “single shots” were to the head of a 7 month old baby. Who is evacuated without any help from the soldiers. Never forget Sam. May his memory haunt these monsters forever
Der Kapitän der DFB-Elf Joshua Kimmich möchte plötzlich nicht mehr politisch sein. Dabei war das mal anders.
Die WM in den USA, Kanada und Mexiko ist von diversen Skandalen überschattet. Größtenteils in den USA. Die Unterstützung des israelischen Genozids in Gaza; der Angriffskrieg gegen den Iran; die Einreisesperren für Schiedsrichter, Teammitglieder und Journalisten; die Verfolgung von Minderheiten durch die Einwanderungsbehörde ICE; die Hetztiraden des US-Präsidenten Trump gegen mehrere WM-Teilnehmer; die überhöhten Ticketpreise; es gibt zahlreiche Themen.
Die Menschenrechtsorganisation Amnesty warnt zudem vor systematischer Überwachung der Einreisenden durch die US-Behörden. Diese verlangen für die Einreise Einblick in die Social-Media-Aktivitäten. Laut Amnesty werde dabei gezielt nach Kritik an den USA und Israel gesucht.
Joshua Kimmich möchte nicht öffentlich darüber sprechen. „Dass wir Spieler diese Probleme lösen oder daran etwas ändern können: Das ist die falsche Erwartungshaltung“, erklärt der Bayern-Spieler auf einer Pressekonferenz in Herzogenaurach.
Kimmich sah das vor einigen Jahren noch anders. Im Jahr 2021 erklärte er auf einer Pressekonferenz in Budapest: „Ich sehe uns in der Verantwortung, Dinge anzusprechen. Das haben wir versucht." Die Versuche beinhalteten unter anderem ein Teamfoto, auf dem die Spieler T-Shirts tragen, die den Begriff „Human Rights“ ausschrieben; sowie das berühmte Mund-Zu-Foto in Katar. Für beide Aktionen sprach sich Kimmich offen aus. Um gegen die Menschenrechtslage in Katar zu protestieren.
Einen Protest gegen die Menschenrechtslage in den USA wird es offenbar keinen geben. Für Kimmich ist „es ist die Aufgabe von Politik oder der Verbände, sich zu solchen Themen zu positionieren." Sowohl der DFB als auch Bundeskanzler Merz üben sich in Schweigen.
Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
Germany scapegoated Ozil for the group stage elimination at the FIFA WC 2018 just because he was a Turkish Muslim. They forced their captain Gundogan who is a Muslim to put on a public statement before the match along with his team for the human rights in Qatar despite him not wanting to do it along with the few other players.
Suddenly as the World Cup is being held in USA, their captain Joshua Kimmich says that the team is not interested in politics despite teams getting last minute visas, some players and refs not even getting it along with the fans.
Germany is by far the most hypocritical nation in the world.
Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
When the U.K. Foreign Office considered denying North Koreans visas to play at the 1966 World Cup, FIFA told the FA that they would immediately relocate the tournament.
That was when FIFA still had something remotely resembling a spine.
The visa dynamics for the World Cup are really confusing.
Some African journalists given single entry visas to the US meaning if their team travels to play in Canada they can't come back to the USA
Its rather absurd
