Interesting, but I thought this was too brief. And it left a "cliffhanger" referring to the torch relay being a nefarious stain on the Olympic games....

[BoboSLO]

So before nazis there was religious football clubs? Jewish FC? For example...

[ashleyburns]

Football is used for political purposes today more than ever, be it sportwashing, LGBTQ, Black Power and BLM, every week the Premier League seems to have some political cause.

And now DFB and/or German club excluded muslim player or any player for that matter that speaking of about Palestine.... ironic

DEUTSCHE Welle auf englisch...sehr merkwurdig, aber vor Allem sehe ich kein Sinn hier...

[MatthiaGryffine]

Because bringing this subject up while your country is hosting Euro 2024 is a great idea! (sarcasm)

[syakdudu]

This channel has become a propaganda machine. Unsubscribed!

[scratchybongvt]

English fans have kept fascism in football alive today! So much right wing activity.
