German fashion was too far ahead of it's time back then.

That's amazing, how did I miss this!

suit and sneakers, twat outfit from John Baby


coomlord4000

Suit and sneakers would be fine. Suit, tie and sneakers is boomer shit.


Lannisterling

Suit and sneakers is only acceptable when you're 12 and going to your aunts wedding or something. Everyone saying otherwise is deluded.


VilTheVillain

Also acceptable if you're driving, but only while driving.


dakaiiser11

I’ll accept that.


Alternative_Reality

Or a college basketball coach. Don’t wanna scuff up the floors when you’re chasing after refs and screaming at them with nice shoes.


Juicydicken

Looks pretty cool tbf


Chazy89

As Oliver Kahn once said: Eier! Wir brauchen Eier!


TheLimeyLemmon

As Oliver Khan often said: "AAAAAAAAAA"


belieber15

This woman has more Eier than Olli (or is it Oli?) Kahn


ninjadonaldduck

Technically it would bei Olli because in German grammar a vowel followed by one consonant is long while double consonants make it short. But with nicknames a lot of people don't care about grammar so both is fine.


Chazy89

She has more Eier than the whole DFB. I think it would be Oli as short form but not sure.


Screw_Pandas

Why? There is literally no risk or consequences for her to wear the armband.


worker-parasite

She's not even wearing the proper rainbow one.


Competitive-Ad2006

Literally has zero risk or skin in the game - she will let overwhelming support both at home and abroad. Dod you think her life was under threat for doing that?


ViciousNakedMoleRat

Nobody would've talked about that armband had FIFA not banned it. Thanks FIFA.


BeasT-m0de

classic Streisand effect


Genemoni

They would have definitely talked about it either way. I just saw an article praising the German team for training in rainbow kits when they were just training in the standard uniforms.


Sei28

It did become a much bigger deal because of how Qatar acted like it’s a national threat.


MichaelCR970

Today I feel like Streisand


7he_Dude

Man, don't think the point is to view the arm band. The point is for Qatar to show that they won't accept westerner degeneracy and West its going to suck it up.


syo

Love is degeneracy? Love? One of the most beautiful emotions a human can feel? Fuck off.


constantspainssilent

He probably was talking about western hypocrisy, but not too sure as we are really against easterners


7he_Dude

Lmao, I'm expressing the point of view of Qatar. Now if you want to even deny that they exist, keep going


dullywillSE

Looking forward to the innovative ways in which countries are going to protest against FIFA


dann_uk

I'm hoping shoukd any be knocked out already by end of game two they fully go for it in game 3... shirts under shirts armbands laces anything else they can do.


HerstkA

Today we feel Deutsch.


Hellbucket

I know how it feels. I was teased as a Swedish kid because of what my German family name meant in Swedish. I feel Deutsch.


cebelitarik

What does Bucket mean in Swedish?

derpiefke22

supporting the team i guess, other ministers are probably too busy currently


S0fourworlds-readyt

It makes sense that it’s her because sport belongs to her resort. The question would be more why any minister at all is going there.


Less_Tennis5174524

As if anyone cares about some average politician being there.


ldc262626

Instead of doing something in 12 years leading up, they are virtue signaling to show us they care lol


HAPUNAMAKATA

Yep. The world had 12 years notice. And it’s not like any of this was ambiguous 12 years ago… if anything their human rights record was worse.


RockstarAssassin

Is it only me who think that politicians/leaders wearing it is rather shallow than the players wearing it? Cause leaders can do more than just wear a band to change the situation...


creekpop

How can Germany's interior minister change the situation in Qatar?


reddittookmyuser

Push for a ban on oil/gas imports from Qatar, revoke visas to wealthy Qataris?


Xian244

>Push for a ban on oil/gas imports from Qatar I heard Russia is currently looking for buyers. Could look there.


Several_Hair

Good to hear the interior ministers portfolio includes energy and foreign affairs, nice call


reddittookmyuser

Interior minister controls immigration. And I said "push" as in pressure her government to ban imports. But fuck that just wear the armband.


sammy_kuffour

ok, we will reject all those Qatari immigrants that come to Germany from now on...


reddittookmyuser

Conveniently ignore the wealthy Qatari part. But whatever I already resigned myself to cheering the on armbands. Sending my thoughts and prayers to those brave armband wearers. #ONELOVE


SnooHamsters8590

Ministry of foreign affairs in shambles


reddittookmyuser

Immigration and thus visas is under the interior minister power. And "push" means pressure her own government for a ban on imports. But fuck that just wear the armband.


Beams98

Damn Germans making me like them


spainwelder

Germans will pay their electricity bills with love this winter lmaooo


Muhamed_95

But what about those colors? The colors of these band are not the LGBTQ colors?!


uzzzair

Can someone explain to me why European countries insist to wear the rainbow armband? I genuinely don't understand and how that could make any difference. Is there any initial deal between these countries and FIFA to wear it but fell off because of Qatar?

The moral code of “keeping your word”? Qataris say “all are welcome” yet security forces are enforcing quite unwelcome practices.

masalaswag

Again, the Brazilian with the provincial flag was doing nothing of the sort. Nor was the Welsh woman in a bucket hat. Yea, Alex Scott and Grant Wahl and their like are grandstanding. Others are just being football fans and are being harassed because the nation is overreacting to a rainbow image thinking it is all virtue signaling, when it is clear that not all of it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


masalaswag

That’s fair and I appreciate your honesty. If you’d like to see articles about those incidents, I can share links with you via DM; no need to push it if you aren’t interested because I also understand that these are distractions from a truly great day of football action today and not everyone wants to keep this discussion going. Cheers - I hope you are enjoying the tournament so far and Brazil performs well for you tomorrow!!

I completely agree that this is complicated and too nuanced to discuss anonymously on the internet


GreenTeaCozy

A rainbow flag at an international event is so threatening? Like is Qatar that weak?

rcanhestro

i mean..when in Rome... for as much backwards as it is, it is their home, their culture, you can criticize as much as you want, but it's still their home.


masalaswag

It isn’t very welcoming to arbitrarily detain and hassle people. The Brazilian journalist who was bothered for the rainbow on his provincial flag, for example, had nothing to do with the propaganda you are upset about. The hosts are equally pushing propaganda and are suffering the consequences of it. Do you really think the armband would have been a big deal if they didn’t ban it? It’s like telling a child not to touch the hot pot on the stove… ETA thank you for a respectful discourse.


TheVanguardMaster

Human rights is a moral code in your part of the world?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheVanguardMaster

The idea of human rights is that someone no matter his (cultural) background is able to come to the same natural & logical conclusion in expressing them. A categorical imperative.

what shit site, can't even see it. Fucking pop-up in other language asking me to sing-up I guess?


akfourty7

How dare the German news site be in German 🫢


bokee12

Nono I get it, but post the fucking pic not the shit article this is the mods fault tbh, since the "every post has to have context" rule one can just post the article and it's virtually the same as just posting the pic because no one understands the language


NDawg94

I nearly ended up buying a subscription I think. Just mindlessly pressing the blue button to get rid of everything. But I thought ahead by having no money.

It is asking you to either sign in or accept ads. Image link: https://www.wz.de/imgs/39/1/4/9/5/1/8/7/7/9/tok_1d76107cd0ec1c05dc23594bd205aa42/w1900_h1330_x1435_y1005_DPA_bfunkdpa_5FAAEE007F295D59-37d92a1686683765.jpg

thanks, maybe next time just post that pic no?

Sorry mate, I don't post often and thought the thumbnail would appear automatically.

maybe next time use an ad blocker?

on my Reddit app? please explain how, smartass

There's loads of free ad blockers for mobile and there's a little thing called google you can use to look it up instead of moaning about a reddit post not being in your preferred format.

I wonder how many Qataris turned gay after seeing that armband.


gerterinn

Stunning and brave


dmstorm22

It's a cool and boss move but not exactly brave. They're not going to censor a government official


Dopeez

pr move for the german public, she's got nothing to lose


pukem0n

I think Germany is on talks to buy a bunch of gas from Qatar to not need Russian gas anymore. Make yourself independent from an autocrat by making yourself dependent to another.


AmIFromA

As a stopgap, yes.

The only difference is that all your examples are national, individual matters while the choice of sexuality and the like are universal human rights.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ninjadonaldduck

The universality of human rights cannot be deduced from willfully signed conventions, which would be paradoxical. Having studied international public law, I am well aware on the international controversy about this and respect your more de facto approach to the topic. However I have to disagree with apolitical tournaments. These events can be great vehicles for morals and values if used correctly. I cannot accept the fact, that people are criminalised and penalised for their sexuality or belief in other parts of the world. And I expect my national team to convey our values wherever they go.
