THIS is a real fucking footballer. Anwar El-Ghazi’s contract was terminated by Mainz because he wouldn’t stop speaking up. Footballers have a uniquely global far reaching platform that can really make a difference and he certainly has. There is so much more coming for him than playing at Mainz ffs. His love and support for Palestine is inspirational.
Fuck Mainz free Palestine 🇵🇸

Now European clubs are suspending and kicking their Muslim players just because they support Palestine! They don't want anyone talk about this matter, where is your fucking freedom of speech that you been annoying about it last year in World Cup?! Or just this freedom only works for the west?!

FOOTBALL AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I've tried my best so far on this page to repost, like and share as many links, documents and posts about the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, although I've never actually put out an official statement like this. Maybe it's for selfish reasons that I'm doing it now, and I will take it on the chin, but as a sports blog, and more specifically, a football blog, I feel that my time has now come.
Today (3/11/23), Dutch-Moroccan footballer Anwar El Ghazi's contract has been terminated with the German football club Mainz 05. This is due to the simple fact that he is against genocide. On his Instagram he has been posting statements on his page and his stories to not only bring awareness but explain what you can do to help. The club initially suspended him and he was reintroduced into the team on Tuesday, where he mentioned that he "doesn't regret showing support for Palestine". Now, the club has cut him off completely.
Germany recently has had an abundance of anti-Palestine laws and regulations such as police being allowed to arrest people who wave the flag or attend protests, and now (apparently) to speak out when you know you have a position of power and influence. It's very strange to me how when it was Ukraine FIFA was doing everything in its power to show their support for them. Having the flags in multiple areas on screen throughout the game, allowing people to bring it into stadiums and wave it, holding press conferences, charities etc. But now when it's Palestine, a middle eastern country, they won't do anything. They will allow clubs to suspend and fire their players, they will allow their players to be threatened and abused, they will allow their players to be degraded and humiliated on the internet.
Two weeks ago, French footballer Karim Benzema was accused by a French Minister of having links to the "Muslim Brotherhood" (????) while other French Ministers and politicians called for the removal of his citizenship. All because he posted one thing about Gaza. One tweet can revoke your citizenship in France. Again, France over the past decade has become notorious for its Islamophobic and racist laws such as it being made a crime to wear a hijab/niqab/abaya etc in school or public settings, making it (basically) illegal to attend protests about Palestine, wave the flag or in some places even wear the colours. We can see both examples portrayed perfectly here, because what exactly is the "muslim brotherhood"? Do you mean terrorist? Are you calling him a terrorist for supporting people who are trapped in a cement box being carpet bombed? What about Hector Bellerin, a white Spanish footballer who is speaking out about Palestine on his page? Or Jules Kounde, a non-muslim French footballer who is speaking about Palestine on his page?
FIFA you are scum, you are wretched, you feed off pain and money, you are horrid. You dare make it a law that people who stream illegally can be jailed for 30 years when you are dictating the lives and careers of people who are trying to use their fame and platform for good.
They will never win, we will always fight back. Thank you Ghazi, Benzema, Kounde, Bellerin and the countless others who have the courage to speak up. You do too. It's not too late. Fuck FIFA. Free Palestine.

mainz terminated el ghazi’s contract for speaking up for palestine. he is being disparaged by many german news sources as we speak but he will not stop speaking up and neither should we. no matter how much they try to silence and punish palestinian and pro-palestinian voices, they will not succeed. israel and its supporters have thoroughly lost the media war this time. the people of the world are watching. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free.

footballers can make the most insanely misogynistic posts about how all women are lying gold-diggers and someone getting accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women is actually a hero or post stories about how much they hate gay people because "it is not acceptable in my (christian) faith", or even downright be accused of domestic abuse by their partners, and the club will cover your ass as if you were a little baby
a footballer posting something in solidarity with the people of palestine? nah, fire his ass

bayern has literally made noussair mazraoui met representatives of the jewish community of munich the other day. After he was slammed on the front page of bild who called him a terrorist supporter, after being shamed in more than one statement while he was away playing with morocco and being used as a scapegoat to discuss the well being on the other israeli player in the team. no further comment from progressive bayern ultras.
now mainz has terminated anwar el ghazi's contract, after suspending him, un-suspending him, putting in his mouth words he never said, apologies he never meant, twisting his words, playing with his feelings, altering his intentions until they proceeded to fire him. He's showing courage and he's speaking up for everyone but this is extremely upsetting. [also just a reminder, let's spare a thought for Youcef Atal in france who was suspended for SEVEN match days in the end].
German clubs' ultras clearly stand by them on this. St. Pauli's ultras are leftists, but not when it comes to Palestine apparently. They were harshly criticised by Celtic's The Green Brigade ultras on this in the past few weeks (The Green Brigade, by the way, has recently been banned from the stadium for publicly supporting Palestine during matches. You can read their statement about it here].
St Pauli's ultras recently showed the following banner, clearly stating their own side (only focus on hamas & antisemitism) and sending a message to Celtic fans who criticised them ("from gaza to glasgow"), basically accusing Celtic ultras of being antisemitic.

to which Celtic's fans replied with this:

What happened to Anwar El Ghazi's is not surprising when even what are supposed to be some of the most progressive and left-sided fans in germany are failing to show up here. I know zionist propaganda is pretty real in Germany but this is quite distressing to see.
