Gwendolyn Posted June 1 Posted June 1 (edited) Germany never beating the allegations ------- HERZOGENAURACH, Germany (AP) — Germany midfielder Joshua Kimmich has slammed as "absolutely racist" a survey and its findings that one in five of his compatriots would prefer more white players on the national team. The poll of 1,304 randomly selected participants was commissioned for national broadcaster ARD's documentary "Unity and Justice and Diversity", which is to be shown on Wednesday. Some 21% of those surveyed said they would prefer it if more players with white skin were playing for Germany. "Anyone who's grown up with soccer knows this is absolute nonsense. Soccer in particular is a good example of how you can unite different nations, different skin colors and different religions," Kimmich said Saturday. "That's what our team is all about. I would miss a lot of players if they weren't here. This is absolutely racist and has no place in our changing room." Kimmich was speaking in Herzogenaurach, where the Germany is holding a training camp for the upcoming European Championship. The 27-man squad is mixed and includes Black players. "When you consider that we are about to host a European Championship at home, it's absurd to ask such a quest ion when the aim is actually to unite the whole country," Kimmich said. "It's about achieving great things together. As a team, we're trying to get everyone in Germany behind us." https://apnews.com/article/germany-racism-euro-2024-kimmich-5c1ed18613cdc3ecaaf76451d3d89540 Edited June 1 by Gwendolyn

Virgos Groove Posted June 1 Posted June 1 The kind of racism that permeates European football would make an American redneck blush. It's insane how normalized throwing bananas on the field and racist chants are.
