I rarely post anything political here, not even sure if I ever did. But I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointed I am in my countries soccer team. They are adored by fans of all ages, and instead of being a role model, they show their true nature: being arrogant, selfish millionaires. They are scared to show pride, to show fifa and Qatar that they won’t be silenced. And that because of one piece of yellow card. Meanwhile the team from Iran is literally putting their lifes on the line.
Thomas Müller, one of our star players, just posted the following on instagram:
“ I can accept and understand the criticism, but I don’t share the sentiment! The people who think that we soccer players throw away the dreams, that we worked our entire soccer-life for, will be disappointed.”
How entitled can you be? Wearing the pride band (that only one guy of the entire team had to wear btw) was the bare MINIMUM of solidarity. And they can’t even manage that, after promising it to everyone. This multi millionaire, that enjoys literally every privilege that this world has to offer and already participated in the world cup 3 TIMES, is basically at the end of his career after achieving everything any soccer player could wish for, and still has the audacity to say this. After thousands of people died miserably. After Qatar gave refuge to the same terrorists that bring so much pain and sorrow into this world. After queer people are still being discriminated against and thrown into prison or worse. How can you even think it’s ok to say this? This entire world cup just shows how vile FIFA is and that we shouldn’t support them. Boycott it!
