German football players remain silent amid scandal
Budrigannews.com – Due to the fact that the dispute over FIFA sanctions on the OneLove armband continued, on Wednesday, the German players covered their mouths with their hands in a team photo before the match with Japan in Group E of the World Cup. Before the match, all the players of the German team made this gesture in front of dozens of photographers on the field.
FIFA, the governing body of the World Cup, has warned seven European teams that they will face sanctions if they wear armbands symbolizing patience and disagreement. German Interior Minister Nancy Feiser talked with FIFA FC President Giannin Infantino and put a bandage on the podium next to her. Earlier, she criticized FIFA and said that the sanctions were erroneous and unacceptable.
Attending an event of the German football association in Doha, before the game, Feizer said: “It’s not good when the federation is under pressure.” “This is beyond understanding that the FFFA does not want to openly advocate tolerance, discrimination today. This is not suitable for people and is not suitable for our time.
The German Football Association DFB expressed itself as follows: We wanted to apply the captain’s armband to protect the values that the German national team cherishes, respect and diversity among people.
We wanted to hear us with other nations. “Human rights are not discussed, so it was not about a political statement. It should be a guess, but so far it’s not. That is why we attach such great importance to this information. To deprive us of a blindfold means to deprive us of our votes. We maintain our position.”
