German national soccer coach Julian Nagelsmann condemns ‘racist’ poll which asked if team has enough White players
The poll conducted by German public broadcaster ARD found that
21% of 1,304 randomly selected respondents wanted more White players representing the county at Euro 2024 – the continent’s European Championships – which Germany hosts from June 14 to July 14.
“I see this in exactly the same way. This question is insane,” the 36-year-old coach said.
“
There are people in Europe who’ve had to flee ("refugees")
because of war, economic factors, environmental disasters, people who simply want to be taken in.
“We have to ask what are we doing at the moment?
We in Germany are doing very, very well,
and when we say something like that, I think it’s crazy how we turn a blind eye and simply block out such things,” Nagelsmann added.
Another of the questions asked in the ARD survey was whether it’s a “pity that the current captain of the German national team has Turkish roots.” Gundogan is the team’s captain.
Karl Valks, ARD’s sports director, reportedly said the station was “dismayed” by the results, adding “
they are also an expression of the social situation in Germany today,” per the BBC.
