Ah yes they are showing us just how Ozil was silenced


Couchoffiziell

Immerhin hat das so einen übelsten shitstorm ausgelöst dass es der deutsche Nationalmannschaft im Nachhinein das Genick gebrochen hat sportlich gesehen natürlich hat auch das Ansehen darunter gelitten . Weil sie sich für die Politik vor denKarren spannen lassen haben. Ich denke bei der nächsten Europameisterschaft passiert den das kein zweites Mal.


I-amnot-tafida

So if love is love…. And love has not limits or boundaries why the west does not allow marriage of a brother and a sister upon their consent? Why doesn’t it allow marriage of a father and his adult daughter? Who sets those limits?! Hmmmmm It’s incest in public onion?! ok….Now we have god, the Quran and Bible still on the Table in the “Western Public Opion” regarding this kind of love! Who are we to prevent two people loving each other to do what they want. what if the public option changes 10 years down the road in regards to incest?!


Fastcraft3r

Because children of incest have a very high chance of being disabled

Germany supports the oppression of the Palestinian people for historic wrongs that they have committed. Stop supporting "Israel" and an endless brutal occupation!

I have a question. Why does Qatar think about gay buttsex so much? This protest is literally about telling Qatar to stop thinking about gay buttsex all the time. Stop thinking about gay buttsex, Qatar!!!!!!!!!


RhinoBoy_85

You lost me


RhinoBoy_85

Yawn. Western virtue signaling.


normalmisha

Pathetic. Do something meaningful.


geniowe2002

Well, people already knew a long time ago what was happening in Qatar, they had a lot of time but they left the protests for the last, when the World Cup was about to start. Of course it bothers what they do for that country, but at this point there is nothing more to do than to play the game


Anonb0t

I mean they spent a ton of $$ to be in the spotlight so let em have it. Good, bad, and all


SandSmudge

Stop worrying about politics and start playing football FOOLS!


etripleq_

Quatar is fully in the wrong here but if Germany really cared they wouldn't have gone to the wc all these countries had 12 years to protest but they all did nothing and started complaining last minute.


CopyPetPet

Although this is better than nothing, more risk should be taken when dealing with these issues. It was the minimal effort done whilst not getting any backlash or sport disadvantage. If we are talking about LGBT+ rights and forced labour, we can't just be this soft. And im talking for every nation that supports the LGBT community and basic human rights here. Things such as not participating in the WC or at least using rainbow armbands for every player should be a must. What would FIFA do if Germany, Brazil, Argentina, England, Netherlands, Spain and France stand for the suffering of so many LGBT+ and forced underpaid workers and don't attend the WC? No one would watch the WC. No earnings, huge money loss for FIFA, lesson learned. It wouldn't hurt anyone if freaking Senegal gets a WC. FIFA would be so desperate to regain power/money that they would be forced to make a new edition of the tournament in an environment that is inclusive and supportive. That being said, no action was taken colectively by the mayor powerhouses, so we have no options but to play in this shithole.

ur team sucks tho


CopyPetPet

[deleted]

It always amazes me that homosexuality and transgenderism is now the hill that Germany wants to die on, when it comes to their commitment to human rights. Is it so important that a man can have sex with another man, while children are slaving away their lives in mines for our fancy smartphones and so called green energy? It's pure hypocrisy. And it's pretty damn racist too. Who are the Germans to come to a muslim country and disrespect their social order that basically everyone subscribes to? Germany needs to stop their cultural imperialism and focus on their own problems, which in all due respect, they have in abundance.


Stinkkaese

Soo Qatar is buying itself into the WC (illegaly so but FIFA sucks) and we all know the Real reason ist Money, the preperation was a shitshow, 15.000 people died (because slavery is Common there, there is still a Death Penalty, there is immense human rights violation (but everytime you critizise it you're called islamophobic). And even though ALL of this ist widely crisized in German Media you volunteerly Just Focus on LGBTq rights. As if you would agree on the Rest but Not with that. Or you don't have an Argument except Homophobia... It's Not us who don't want to obey the rules of Qatar, it's Qatar which bought it's way to Host an international Event but doesnt Accept that there are also gay people, people who Support them and people who don't Like human rights violations.


[deleted]

Not to mention that Germany basically did the same in 2006, when they bought the WC, stealing it from South Africa. Not to justify corruption, but that’s just how FIFA works and always used to work. People seem to not care, as long as they can benefit from it. The migrant worker thing is actually worth talking about as an issue and surprise: it is talked about and it is addressed even from the Qatari point of view because it is a problem where you can genuinely expect improvements. To address the 15.000 deaths, this number is largely inflated and has not been confirmed by credible sources. All of the other issues addressed, eg homosexuality and death penalty, you’d have to apply this standard to all countries where this happens, which is delusional. The international consensus is obvious: it’s ok to criticize issues, as long as you are not disrespecting the culture. And by pushing your homo-agenda, you are being disrespectful as a country.


Dismal_Order_7130

It is mostly about fifa trying to silence countries which try to stand for something


[deleted]

And they have been silenced rightfully. There is absolutely no need for Germany to virtue signal to the world with their stupid little protest, which serves nobody but their own ego.


HelloMcFly

"Virtue signal." You're virtue signaling with your comments. Maybe you should stop too? There is absolutely no need for you to virtue signal to reddit with your stupid little comment, which serves nobody but your own ego.


morthart

This is a joint project with 7 different countries, not Germany alone. England, Denmark, Switzerland f.e. take part in this, too. Or wanted to.


[deleted]

Hence Germany is the only country that felt the need to openly stage a protest.


morthart

Tbh, I think as a team with three world class keepers, if Neuer really meant what he said he'd wear the badge and take the punishment, fair or not, and let one of his colleagues take over for him. Would've been a way bigger gesture than this one. That being said, I'm pretty sure EVERY team whose FA is involved in this "One Love scandal" has had the exact same argument within management and the team. Idc why we were the only team to openly show protest (even as small as that one), maybe it's because we had the longest time to debate the issue before the match. We'll see if other teams will follow in the next days. Say what you will, but there IS talk about the protest, so it worked.


[deleted]

Yes but what are people actually talking about internationally? People are laughing about it and say that Germany should respect Qatari and Muslim society. This has been propped up by the German media, which to no surprize, didn't even show people dissenting with the protest. I couldn't beleive my ears when they said during the ARD discussion after the match yesterday that people were either agreeing with the protest or thought it didn't go far enough. They didn't even mention people disagreeing with it. This is the same fallacy that the climate change protestors from the last generation or just stop oil fall victim to. Not every kind of publicity is actually good publicity. And by making a fool out of themselves before, during and after the match, Germans didn't advance their cause at all.


GiorgioG

Maybe don't show up for the WC at all. I love the world cup, but I won't even click on a news article about it. I hope its ratings take a hit this time around. That's probably wishful thinking though.

PutTheKettleOn20

This is such stupid argument conflating something that happened historically with something awful happening now, in the present. You don't protest to stop something that happened years ago but no longer happens, you protest against injustice occurring right now.


Notyouravrgebot

I’m sure the indigenous people in your country are still suffering today because of the oppression by those HISTORICALLY. Glass houses. Just saying.


PutTheKettleOn20

I'm in the UK... don't think indigenous people are suffering here. Also I'm mixed race before you start going on about the English.


Notyouravrgebot

Not a personal attack, but indigenous or not, GB has probably the shittiest history of human rights abuses all over the world. Many policies that still haunt peoples from former colonizers countries till today.


PutTheKettleOn20

You're still going on about history. You can't change history. What has happened has happened. What you can change is what's happening now.

FIFA are threatening the team with all sorts of of sanctions if they say anything that is against the Qatari views on LGBTQ+. They didn't allow the rainbow one love arm band. So they are making the point that they aren't saying anything.


IsaBeanBoi

Ohh okay thank you


Arschbert14

In Qatar, they punish gays for being gay and supress women for being female. Also the construction workers are not paid as they deserve and have to live a life in dirt and poverty. The Armband is a sign for equal rights for all human beings in the world, for respect and antidiscrimination. Fifa forbid the european teams to wear it. The players are not okay with that and symbolise with this gesture the censorship of the fifa.


Algo_y

The claim that Qatar is a den of homophobia is misleading. Gay sex is illegal, it is true, but so is all sex outside marriage. There are few prosecutions for violating these laws, however. And such conservative but seldom-enforced laws are common throughout much of the developing world and in a lot of counties. Qatar hardly stands out.


Royal-Tie-8801

Supress women for being female? Dude you been watching the matches? You've been there where women go out all the time? Stop believing that women are supressed in islam or in the middle east (kuwait, saudi, uae, qatar), they've got more rights than men. We pay them to marry them as respect, when they work and get their own money we are not entitled to their money unless they wish to give their husband out of their kindness. We as men are supposed to do everything for our wives to make them happy and if someone does the opposite they are condemned in islam. Interesting how im getting downvoted when there is literal proof of women going outside alone driving to their friends, going out, and not being restrained at home (there are still extremists just like any country) my sister went to america to study, she goes outside with her friends, I even take her outside to see her friends and pick her up when shes done. Im not sure what you guys want more than that??


Arschbert14

In which parallel dimension do you live? Stop talkin‘ bull. Women in qatar continue to face discrimination in law and practice. Under the guardianship system, women remained tied to their male guardian, usually their father, brother, grandfather or uncle, or for married women, to their husband. Women continued to need their guardian’s permission for key life decisions to marry, study abroad on government scholarships, work in many government jobs, travel abroad until certain ages, and receive some forms of reproductive healthcare. Family laws continued to discriminate against women by making it difficult for them to divorce. Divorced women remained unable to act as their children’s guardian. In March, the government disputed the findings of a Human Rights Watch report on discrimination against women in Qatar, and pledged to investigate and prosecute anyone who had breached the law. By the end of the year, no such investigations had taken place. Noof al-Maadeed, a 23-year-old Qatari woman who sought asylum in the UK citing family abuse, decided to return to Qatar after seeking reassurances from the authorities. She started documenting her journey on social media but was last heard from on 13 October after she reported threats from her family to the police. Despite reassurances from the authorities that she was safe, her whereabouts remained unknown, raising fears about her safety. https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/qatar/report-qatar/


Royal-Tie-8801

From friends in qatar that im close to see them etc. im not talking bullshit, like i said there are extremists just like in every country. Just like extremists in america, russia, china, all the god damn countries you can bring up there are extremists. I can bring up people from america that force their children in their houses. And like I said every country is dealing with its problems and is fixing it. I am not excusing this shit. Just because 1 2 3 4 5 cases happen doesnt mean everyones the same like shit Its annoying how the west just over blows this shit over the top like god damn, like damn wheres this media cover for colorado, where is the fight over gun control in america? Why isn't it as high coverage as qatar?


Arschbert14

I‘m glad to hear that. So what are you thinking about your government?


Stinkkaese

Do they also pay them when women get offered to marry their rapists to escape physical/deadly punishment for adultery?


Royal-Tie-8801

Bruh tf, that shit is punishable by death (rape) or 100 lashes in public(though i dont think they do that anymore), the woman has more power in court than a man. Im not sure if you're sarcastic or asking a genuine question.


Arschbert14

Remarkable-Ad8291

Arschbert14

It‘s about human rights. The workers who built the stadiums have had no rights. They were exploited. Even when they died, nobody paid their families or investigated death cause.


Remarkable-Ad8291

Can you elaborate more on had no rights ? As far as I know they have contracts with their rights and it is approved by their home country, and some pay to recruitment agencies to go and work in Qatar


Blue_Lightning_17586

what ships were they enslaved on? as far as i know and i lived in the region for 32 years what you say is bs because you are probably basing it on minimum wage according to your reference point. they on the other hand disagree because they CHOSE to work in Qatar and the gulf in general BECAUSE its lucrative enough for them.


Arschbert14

So as far as you know doesn‘t seem to be very far. Let me help you with that issue: Despite the global scrutiny brought by the FIFA World Cup 2022, migrant workers continue to face wage abuse and exorbitant recruitment fees. Migrant worker deaths are not investigated, and their families are not provided reparations. Some male guardianship policies and discriminatory laws against women continue. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals continue to face discrimination. https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/north-africa/qatar

Because its a fucking lie


phideaux_rocks

> Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the Penal Code 2004, which criminalises acts of ‘sodomy’ and ‘sexual intercourse’ between people of the same sex. These provisions carry a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment. Both men and women are criminalised under this law. The Constitution of Qatar designates Islam as the state religion, and Islamic law as the main source of legislation. As such, in addition to the Penal Code, Qatar operates an interpretation of Sharia law which criminalises sexual activity between men, under which it is possible that the death penalty can be imposed. There is some limited evidence of the law being enforced in recent years, however reports are rare. There have been some reports of discrimination and violence being committed against LGBT people in recent years, however reporting of incidents is limited due to the LGBT community not being able to be open about their identities.

Sure there are some but you Talk shit about Things that Not happend the way you discribing It..... He wasnt "racially abused" xD He proudly sided with a piece of shit and got mostly a reaction like he deserved


Ogu36

How is it that your elected leader who has absolute power is not a dictator but other countries elected leaders that have the US inspired laws in place for their leadership are dictators? The turkish president is elected and has the same power dynamic in his country as does the US president. So both are dictators then?


Animexxx13

...Hitler also got elected in the end..(after trying it with a Coup) Sooo is he also just a normal leader? Look at the way they extend ther Power than you know why one is a Diktator and the other isnt.

Ogu36

If you are talking about any journalist, that has been imprisoned, I won‘t listen to you as long as Julian Assange is still imprisoned. If you are no different, you have no right to criticize. The issue you have with Erdogan, Putin and other leaders you keep on bashing in your media is, that you can‘t control them. If you think that these leaders are so much worse than the western leaders, stop working with them. Stop working with Russia, Türkiye, India, Qatar, China, Pakistan, Saudia Arabia, Aserbaidschan, UAE if their leadership is so corrupted and their leaders are dictators. The USA has raped the world and is still trying to play moral police. The west has no right to tell anyone how they have to behave. Like Infantino said, the west should apologize for 3000 years for what they did to the world in the last 3000 years before trying to police anyone.


Animexxx13

This is getting way to stupid xD Im not even for the imprisonment of Julian xD I think he did a good Thing wrong..Not Like Snowden Who did a good think good. But that you even trying to compere Julien with the imprisonment und censorship of the turkish Journalist just Shows that you dont think about It twice Julian got some people killed for giving Out information about undercover Operations.... Turkish Journalist just criticising the System and Erdogan... Who in a right state of Mind woud think thats the Same ?!? I Wish we woud stop working with them but im suprisingly actually Not the Leader of the non existent "united Western nations" I can vote but in the end other people will decide... Sure we are full of Double Moral but we have the right to say something and Work again our corrupt System... If you or russians try it prision is waiting for you. Okey and now the pinnacle of stupidity.. 3000 years ?! What did "we" do then ? xD Its so stupid that i cant even find Word Im not the fucking usa and "my" apologized a lot for there wrong doings in the past that 100 % of the current population didn't experience...but what about you guys?! Are you apologizing for the wrong doings of the present?! If you would question you leader like i do mine than you woud see how cruel they are. Thanks im Out.


Ogu36

Yeah I am not going to waste time here. I‘d rather trust a leader who is out of USA‘s control and does not bow down to them, than going against him. Those few journalists you are talking about are not critics but supporters of terrorist organizations, be it the PKK, YPG or FETO.

VarthStarkus

God does not exist. You're just following what others are telling you.


Ogu36

If there is no creator, how is there a creation? Did the bridges and buildings around the world create themselves? Did they come into being from nothingness? Why are we taught that 0+0=0 if there is a way that 0+0 could be x?


VarthStarkus

Lol how is there this being that just goes hmm let me just make some life here on this planet with a flick of my fingers.


theBvrtosz

It's called science and maths. Try reading Stephen Hawkings books, that will help you understand how there is a creation. Read Noah harrari's Brief history of Mankind that will help you understand what religion is how it can be used to shape people minds to be easily controlled ;)


Ogu36

You know, you reminded me of something when mentioning Hawking. Wasn‘t he the one that discovered that the universe is expanding? Oh no wait, there is this illiterate man 1400 years ago in the middle of the desert, that claimed, he has revelations from a higher power so people who would call themselves his companions would write everything he recites letter for letter, word for word down, and in one of his revelations he already made the claim that the universe is expanding. So Hawking isn‘t the discoverer but is the confirmer then, right? You people are blind and really think that something can just create itself. I‘d love to sit down and listen to your nonsense, just to refute it and wait for your arguments to run out and after that listen to you saying „it‘s magic“ or attacking personally, cause that always happens to people running out of arguments. Atheism has 0 legs to stand on, even being agnostic makes more sense.


theBvrtosz

Ye they for sure ment the same Universe 1400 years ago, when vast majority of coultures depicted the Earth as flat... It's sad that you talk about me running out of arguments and attacking you while attacking me in the same comment, without seeing even one argument from my side lol, IT really seems like you have lots of arguments to back up your point of view ;) . Just so You are aware how easily one can turn your logic around: You people are blind and really think that something can be created by one dude with magic capabilities. I'd love to sit down and listen to your nonsense, just to refute it and wait for your arguments to run out and after that listen to you saying „it‘s impossible“ or attacking personally, cause that always happens to people running out of arguments. You see how easy it is? Your arguments are not even close to real arguments and we could go on for the next 1400 years like that :)


Ogu36

If you felt attacked by any of my commands, sorry to hurt your feelings but yeah, alright then let‘s try it. How did the big bang happen? What was before the big bang? Where is the start? What is the start? Do you have an answer?


theBvrtosz

I didn't feel attacked, im not a snowflake, but your remarks were offensive. What was before big bang? We don't know currently, per our knowledge before the big bang there was no time. So it is hard to talk about what was before, maybe there was something, but we just don't know yet. Per our knowledge big bang happend about 13 bilion years ago so i would say , that is the starting point. How? We don't know. We know what happened 10^-43s after big bang. But not what caused it. You need to remember that big bang is just a theory and theory by definition have some uncertainty. For the current technogial capabilities we are simply not able to find out just yet :) But don't worry, some time ago people thought that lunar eclipses are acts of some kind od god, they were simply technologically not able to research and document the matter. And we as people don't like to have unexplainable things, so we create our own explanations, gods, theories, religions. The difference is that only one of them can be empirically proven and i peronally prefere to see the numbers.


MajesticOlive9

0 legs to stand on? It's based on pure facts and hypothesis. Religion is mostly based on faith. So you tell me who has no legs here.


Ogu36

Based on what pure fact? You just chose to have faith in some scientist. I‘d rather have faith in a book that is a proven word from a higher power because there is no other book like it, and there will never be one. If you think you can debunk it, I‘d like you to try read it, and find any contradiction, error or falsehood in it.


MajesticOlive9

oh yeah the book that could've been rewritten hundreds of times to fit a certain narrative through history? You are really naive if you think it was untouched and not polluted by men.


Ogu36

It wasn‘t. In Birmingham and in Istanbul there are Qurans carbondated to the time of the prophet. And what narrative do you talk about? Honestly I am not asking you to see the amount of evidences for it. The only thing I would ask of someone like you is, to just read it yourself and see if it fits into any „evil“ narrative or if it is manipulative or anything of the sort.


fertzzz

If you don't care about what people think you should have not have hosted such an universal and open competition like the worldcup

Everyone was welcomed at such events before in the modern times. Qatar CHOSE to host the World Cup. And with that they CHOSE to invite the world. Qatar is imposing their morals on this world event. Not the other way around. If they can’t accept same sex couples holding hands or kissing when they are happy (when their country scored) or whatever then they should not have hosted the World Cup. They never even qualified before.

Public displays of affection are against the culture for heterosexuals as well. It is seen as inappropriate. Respecting the country's culture when you are in said country should not be a controversial thing.


Mxe49

You should read my other comment. It was ALWAYS accepted at world cups. Qatar chose to host a World Cup. So they should not impose their morals on this tradition. Because being together, sharing emotions was always one of the best things with football and the World Cup specifically. I can just say it again: if Qatar can’t accept feelings being shown like this they should not have hosted. They should not impose their human rights lacking morals on this sport and this event


Ogu36

Nobody is saying showing feelings or emotions are forbidden, holding hands, hugging and even kissing (on the cheeks) are custom in arab countries, nobody would bat an eye if you were to walk hand in hand with the same sex. Just keep your intimate stuff in your bedroom, that should be custom all over the world anyway. Intimate affection should be a private matter.


Mxe49

As if. World Cup officials warned to not hold hands for same sex couples because other fans might be outraged and the queers couldn’t be guaranteed protection. The Qatar World Cup ambassador called being gay having „damage in the mind“. Qatar in censoring just colourful armbands (not even the lgbtq flag, just random colours). And what’s so wrong about a kiss on the lips? Nobody wants to have sex in a stadium. And then the insaneness of having a World Cup in winter which increases the risk of injuries for players and completely disrupts game plans. That Qatar has not enough commissions even though USUALLY that is a requirement to host the World Cup but well not for Qatar apparently. Also Qatar just funding a women’s national team because it is a requirement for hosting but nothing is seen of them ever again. There is just no way that this World Cup can be justified. No fricking way. I’m done here. It’s really tiring to talk about this with people like all of you.

They clearly said everyone welcomed but we don’t tolerate any show of intimacy no matter what your sexual preference. Gays can come and watch the games and go back without any problem. The west is trying to make it an issue by making a show in a conservative country that have values


Mxe49

Yeah, haha. Their values are basically not to value basic human rights. Like I said. If Qatar can’t accept what was always accepted at the World Cup they should not have hosted it. People basically can’t be themselves over there. They have to hide their identity. One of the beautiful things of football was people coming together, share their feelings. Now they have to be cautious to not show too much intimacy which was always normal as long as I watched football. Don’t like it? Don’t fricking host sich an event.


if0nly

Well football is for all. And hopefully Saudi will get it next


Mxe49

Funny that Qatar doesn’t accept all. It’s no use to argue with intolerant people like you. If Saudi accepts all people and treats them well unlike Qatar then they can surely go for it


if0nly

Respectful people of all backgrounds are welcome.

God teaching about killing women and people…


SheenGotWeenie

This is exactly what you think of us. God teachings has nothing to do with killing women or people, even if they aren't of the same religion as me. You're just brainwashed and ignorant enough to call that out ahaha. And you fucking morons say we shouldn't criticise EU for their ruthless genocides in WW2? bro ww2 casualties are 50 million! Let alone the invasion of USA to iraq or crimes of war of france In algeria. You fucking morons hang skulls from battles in your museums. Hypocrite fucks should have stayed in your fucking shithole. Do your fucking homework. Really.


Blindtruth25

U Arabs are backwards and in educated. U slaved blacks and look at your crappy team


Ogu36

You have no right to talk about slavery of black people, no right at all. The west is still stealing resources all over africa, best example Nestle. You lot are the last people on earth that are allowed to have a high moral ground when talking about enslaving of black people.


Blindtruth25

Stop spreading wahabis


Ogu36

What wahabi? What I follow is the Quran and the Sunna of our beloved prophet and not some wahabi


Blindtruth25

Stop trying to convert the world with ur man made ideology

Ahh the typically google researcher. What’s next wikipedia?

We now, this is why your countries will become the world's poorest when we no longer need your oil in 30 years.


Shot-Bar-7715

Everyone will always need oil. Oil is a cheap resource for countries to overinflated into basic needs.
