Why is Özil a cunt for retiring when he has basically been scapegoated for Germany's loss?
Bearing in mind this started a long time before the World Cup even began. The President of the DFB has spoken out against multiculturalism since he was an MP, and at the start of the World Cup the media were talking about a split in the dressing room between the "bling-bling gang" (mainly players with immigrant backgrounds) and the better behaved, more reserved "German" Germans.
Özil had a poor World Cup, and the photo with Erdoğan was very ill-advised. But if you think that is why he was called a "Turkish shit" and a "goat fucker" (by a social democrat politician) because of either of these things, I don't think you understand the current dialogue in Germany.
I'd recommend reading a bit more about the background to it, or it seems as though you're laughing about someone being racially bullied out of a job they love.
