The DFB has big plans for the World Cup in Qatar. In terms of human rights, of course. In fact, the association gives a pretty disastrous picture – now garnished with another big blunder.
The German Football Association has not only failed to stand up for its values, but has also allowed itself to be caught as an organization that exploits human rights for its own image, to put it harshly. The association has apparently not learned much from this mistake. On Sunday morning, the association posted an actually harmless picture of Kai Havertz on social media. Instead of providing the post with a simple “Good morning” – or some other hollow but harmless message, the DFB added the title “Good Morning” by Kanye West to the post. This is stupid in that Kanye West is in front of himself a few weeks ago as an anti-Semite. In any case, the rapper has attracted attention in recent months with mysogynistic, racist and, most recently, anti-Semitic gaffes. As a result, several of his cooperation partners terminated their cooperation. Including Adidas, which by the way is the official outfitter of the DFB-Elf. The fact that Kanye West is anti-Semitic, mysogynistic and racist is not a well-kept secret either, but has been widely discussed in public in recent weeks. If you could have noticed, dear DFB.
