Thread:Comments:German footballer Mesut Özil announces retirement from international football over 'racism'/Not racist but political reasons

This article only describes the feeling of Özil and not of the German football federation leaders. Because of this one sided view of this item, the problem occurs now that the article is not neutral. When Erdogan would have been a leader like Obama or Mandela, or call him Atatürk or maybe even Güllen, the football federation might even have been positive about the meeting between a footballer of Turkish decent and the Turkish president. Don't forget who Erdogan is: a corrupt leader that is cutting of democratic institutions and gave himself unlimited power. The conclusion must be that there is no racism at stake, but that politics are mixed with football. Not racism at all, even when the footballer (a multi million dollar company, not a victim) is complaining.
