Dass Sozialarbeiter*innen in Deutschland um ihre Freiheit fürchten müssen, weil sie die junge Personen, die sie betreuen, beschützen möchten, ist eine absolute Unverschämtheit.
Fußball-Deutschland muss an der Seite der Fanprojekt Mitarbeiter*innen in Karlsruhe stehen, ohne wenn und aber.
A statue of Bayern Munich legend Gerd Müller has been unveiled next to the club’s Arena.
The statue‘s cost, some €200,000, was funded by fans’ donations and without any financial contribution by the club.
The money was collected by the Kurt Landauer Stiftung, a Bayern Munich fan initiative.

SC Freiburg ultra group Corrillo held two banners with messages towards Spanish FA boss Luis Rubiales and Spain‘s World Cup winning women’s team, as well as to former Bayern Munich boss Rummenigge, who showed support of Rubiales:
“Balance of power played out once again. Women win the World Cup, but what everyone talks about is toxic masculinity.”
“A fist instead of a kiss for Rubiales and Rummenigge. Sorry, with respect, that’s totally OK.”

Seit Monaten gehen in Israel Menschen demonstrieren. Es heißt Pro oder Contra Justizreform der rechtsextremen Regierung.
Mit dabei: Ultras.
Für die @sportschau habe ich über das politische Engagement einiger Fangruppen und den Konflikt in den Kurven geschrieben.

“Back then, today, always. No price is too high to see you!”
Fortuna Düsseldorf’s ultras start their club’s first 2. Bundesliga game of the season with a choreo featuring #F95’s old badges.
Hertha Berlin’s ultra groups start their first game in the second division with a pyro show away at Fortuna Düsseldorf, along with the banners: “We are the club!” and “against investors!”
HSV‘s ultras hold up a banner in support of the protests against police violence in France after the killing of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk by a police officer during their club‘s 2. Bundesliga home game vs. Schalke.
A lot has been said in the context of Felix Nmecha’s transfer to Dortmund. Nmecha himself said that he “doesn’t discriminate anyone,” and that some of the criticism is as a result of his posts being “taken out of context.”
There’s one word that’s missing. That word is “sorry.”
If anything, Felix #Nmecha’s #BVB interview with the club’s is only going to make people criticize him & the club even more.
Zero accountability, while even blaming others for allegedly taking his posts out of context.
Oberhausen, das war großartig gestern ❤️
Danke an alle, die dabei waren. Danke auch an @es_reicht_oberhausen für die Einladung, meinen Vortrag bei der Antifa Kneipe zu geben, und noch mehr für eure wichtige Arbeit.
Weiter so! ✊ #DankeAntifa
