The German Football Association (DFB) on Monday rejected accusations by midfielder, Mesut Ozil over being racist.
DAILY POST recalls that Ozil claimed DFB officials turned him into “political propaganda” and declared he doesn’t wear the German jersey with pride.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the DFB in a statement said, “We emphatically reject the DFB being linked to racism.
“The DFB has been very involved in integration work in Germany for many years.”
Ozil, who plays for English club, Arsenal, said DFB President Reinhard Grindel had blamed him for Germany’s poor performance at this year’s World Cup, considering him a German when the side won and an immigrant when they lost.
