Germany’s annual ‘anti-racist’ soccer tournament had to be abandoned this year after violence broke out during the final, with players from the two refugee teams starting a massive brawl on the pitch.
Fighting between the two teams of immigrants, one of which local media reports was overwhelmingly Arab and the other predominantly African
Another case showing the willful ignorance of the Western Leftist so-called “anti-racism” industry, which knows little about cultures and inter-group conflict, let alone about deeply ingrained ideologies. Arab Muslim racism against blacks is significant, and black slavery still exists in the Islamic world. In fact, many Muslim Arabs refer to blacks using the derogatory term of “abeed” or “abd,” meaning slave and black — the equivalent of the n-word. This is, however, ignored by Antifa and the “anti-racism” industry.
The scuffle between the two refugee teams was put down to “different temperaments.”
The Western obsession and navel-gazing about its past wrongs is making for poor policy, the weakening of Western democracies, and the Islamization of the West.
“‘Antifa Soccer Cup for Tolerance’ Abandoned After ‘Huge Brawl’ Between Refugee Teams,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, July 26, 2018:
Germany’s annual ‘anti-racist’ soccer tournament had to be abandoned this year after violence broke out during the final, with players from the two refugee teams starting a massive brawl on the pitch.
Fighting between the two teams of immigrants, one of which local media reports was overwhelmingly Arab and the other predominantly African, resulted in the United Colours Antifa Street Soccer Cup in Zwickau having to be called off.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing violence erupt suddenly during the match after an argument between players from the ‘Red Tree’ team — the organisers behind which say they “fight Nazis” while seeking to make Zwickau “cosmopolitan, tolerant and courageous” — and from “Antifa soccer club” Marienthal United 08’s refugee squad.
As violence began to escalate on the market square where the game was staged, observers “rushed as fast as they could” to get away from the brawling players, a “horrified” eyewitness told left-wing Swiss tabloid Blick, which before the match featured an article promising that “fair play, fun, creativity, tolerance and solidarity” were sure to be on show at the event.
But the future of the tournament, now in its seventh year — which organisers say is a “major event” that shows Zwickau is “no place” for “racism and every type of discrimination” — is not up for debate, according to cup co-director René Hahn, who told journalists the incident is being dealt with.
Stating there were no serious injuries but that the behaviour seen on Saturday was unacceptable, he reported having had talks with players from the two teams in the final.
“With refugees who fled conflict areas, it is just that we are dealing with a very different temperament,” Hahn said, before stressing that violence on the pitch is not allowed — a rule which he said will be impressed upon players in upcoming discussions…..
