The German World Cup squad was again knocked out of the Group Round (now, both in 2018 and 2022). Worst showing since 1950. Pictured here is this year's loser-squad posing in protest of not being allowed to wear their "OneLove" gay armbands; FIFA declared that any player wearing such a band would be automatically issued a yellow card---and good for FIFA!
I'm gay, but I'm sick of sports teams facing corporate and social pressure to post political views on either their uniforms or their courts/fields (the latter in the case of US football and basketball in recent years). In sports, as in most aspects of public life, I don't give a flying f*** about your sexual proclivities and I certainly don't want/need to see them officially proclaimed with armbands, on jerseys, on sports fields.
And re the German squad: Perhaps it's time to assemble a real GERMAN squad again, instead of virtue-signalling by choosing immigrants for over half of the team members. Over half of the German population is not black and Turkish. And the blacks/Turks are obviously not the most talented---or else why the early dismissal from the opening round the past 2 cycles?
