9:30 am
i guess a coincidence. that they're not previously because earth was just a messy chemistry lab someone told me sun up. where the improbable but. the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery that there is a little bit of. what is earth where you need to start september 18th on d w. i do you got for. 'd us this was what it was i think i was out on my computer yes this was more.
9:31 am
yari so yes i was doing the kinds of us all meticulously. are good threats to my wife children family. is not true when people say there's no racism in the league and i think it's not true it's everywhere really stepped in. the tradition of my of course you're always worried that it can happen again that scares you out of the bombs for bosses to nazis always stink but you have to recognize them even before you can smell them. we all have a responsibility lots of people aren't aware you have to take a stand on things like this. crabs disciplinary cards fans whistle i got it all. it's saturday morning in time for china to take off for the day.
9:32 am
for the next few hours this referee will devote his time to for. we see each other before and after but during that time i'm pursuing a hobby and following my passion of my life. it's not like he's only gone for one and a half hours 1st he has to get there and then the game eventually starts and then they'll be a fan he like to talk to a shower have a snack and so by the time he finally gets home at least half a day is gone by. does not always enough family time because he regularly referees even despite some bad experiences he's had on the sidelines being right up close to her wrestling fans. the higher the score was the worse it got for example i'd hear what's that blackguard doing there on the sidelines he should be cleaning in the kitchen meanwhile my young son is running around and i hear people calling him offensive racial slurs saying what's that bimbo boy doing there he's getting on
9:33 am
my nerves so i keep hearing stuff like that which gets me very very wound up and disappointed so he does gun is ok i think that is totally unacceptable but he was called an offensive and racist term so he was totally upset and asked me mom what's a. that's for cadbury he hadn't heard before and he'd also never been exposed to racist comments. that upset me more than jermaine because since jermaine is dark skinned he's had to confront racism not more but i haven't. heard it as has as the mother of a dark skinned child i was confronted with it for the very 1st time. since we had a gets estimate confronted. fics book possible practice with constantine congo former captain of the bundesliga team during a match last season he suffered quite a shocking experience. the social this is important in the 3rd quarter i wanted to take a throw in at the baseline my back was turned to the fans of n.b.c.
9:34 am
and when i went to throw the ball i heard a bunch of monkey sounds in my direction. it was clearly meant for me that aside i 1st i was furious and disappointed so i really can't put it into words i think i was more angry than anything else is gonna survive the fall of this contest looks nice a white person you just can't imagine what that slices that's how long it was missed and that was partly just because of my surname not even my skin color or some other reason for that is businessmen's what was meant by saying that i would follow having done so much until recently constantine come his name was constantine trying to since 2019 when he married his german girlfriend elisa he uses her african surname if you do not know many african surnames went last year in colonial times and her name was very important and i don't think that makes me any less manly by taking her name in this finished in on them in a phony. september 2900 and away game at n.b.c.
9:35 am
whistling and constant monkey sounds directed at congress. and if that isn't is no escape i would have preferred to respond physically but i think i took the wise a step i then made the referee aware about what was happening and he said to me that at the moment he couldn't do anything he said he would take a note of it after the game. looking back i would have preferred for the game to be suspended for 5 minutes and that the guy who did that was sent home and it is now the sick. the culprit later received a fine and was suspended from attending games for 3 months but missed out on knocking back what was also really disappointing was the reaction of the other fans and that no one tried to do anything. against it i think that they are all to blame and not just that one person even though he was the one who made the monkey noises when the laws of the mothers' or. come to publicize the incident on his instagram page. we all
9:36 am
have a huge responsibility lots of people aren't aware that they have to take a stand. frank. annual general meeting of sports club i'm tucked franks january 2020 the top celebrated reaching a new membership record 88000 members. peter fisher has been the club's president for the past 20 years longer than anyone else in the league. the explosive growth in membership makes him proud. does it done you can tell that we're a cool club because we're compassionate if we play good football and we have a cool sports department but we've made our values clear and we defend them and stand by them that's attracted a lot of people who say i'd like to be part of that. he's a dell bush which i just missed. it makes me proud in fact i'm proud every single minute and anyone who would like to drive this club
9:37 am
into the gosho act fishy well i'm someone who's going to take them on. fisher also refers to the far right a.f.d. party 2 years ago he announced that he didn't want their voters in his camp. shouting i mean to do good mean i said in an interview that no one can be a member of frankfort. for this party meaning i am 5850 be it the saw how would that work out on the one hand you willingly professed to the values of our statutes. and that the same time you profess to the beliefs that the leaders of the a.s.d. propagates he. has sinned i can tell you loud and clear they are incompatible. this is. for sure 199 percent of the vote but was then to. sued by the f.d.a.
9:38 am
and received constant threats. to george not this threat to show there are a whole files on it and then court cases people wanted to pin on me and one side and of course threats to my wife and children family who do something like let's rebuild the ovens of auschwitz just for me guns in connivance to and everything you can think of and then the stupid rhetoric besides all the threats to life and limb . all because of unbelievable stupidity is now pollution it. is. president gets his stuff and he himself was not to ted but that he was more mad than anything else and never once said i don't feel like doing us any more and he never said that and wouldn't do that.
9:39 am
i'm fine that's perceived as i was when it 1st happened i didn't want to take him with me anymore what it already was bad enough and i didn't want him to always associate that with being on a football field as a car but i basically said that he should come along and also see the good sides of football and see. are we there yet and will be there in 2 or 3 minutes you'll be able to play around because. that's what you're like that right. there was always concerned that if things don't work out the way the fans and the players want them to that it might happen over and over again. so you're always worried that i give it my best so that they don't have any reason to be mad to get upset but miles i was i was awfully. expensive starts off i'm very proud of him and he's got this grandness about him and such
9:40 am
a positive person that he can laugh it off and think it's a shame that people have to be that way he thinks i'm not that way and i'll show you that things can be different and that i'm just a referee up and. back in the dick's book luisa congar has travelled from as she and constantine have a long distance relationship and i know when i'm alone i don't really have a problem with it when i'm with her i noticed the daily races again this time her husband was directly affected the son of course is it but still. it was a strange situation because i never expected it i don't really expect such things that something iraq could happen and i also found it strange because it was the 1st time for me that a white person could somehow and up on the receiving end of a racist situation as an advisor present. envy and i like assistance and i still will and that the earth. both quickly agreed on how they would react.
9:41 am
still sky think it came from both of us luis a said i should publicize it i also wanted to say the least i find it really important to discuss this fight and it shouldn't be treated as if the problem doesn't exist here in germany if we don't speak out nothing will change and that's just not in 4th incident made it clear that i absolutely have to do something if i want a professional basketball player you wouldn't be talking to me now in this interview would never be made public so it's all the more important if you have this chance to publicly talk about the issue so that other people can see and think about it to the fullest ok but it will get done that's among. the congress had their message has a large outreach even to those who want to wreck the affected. pete officious daily routine is always packed with disappointment was especially important to him he was patron of the project wake at lessing high school the school in gauges its peoples in the battle against racism and discrimination. while the other. was so cool
9:42 am
so i. feel good was what really did go well i. frankfurt's president and media they accepted the invitation to me. if they let us know when i'm ready to present our guest of honor a piece of fish a president of i'm tough on foot i. wish he embodies acceptance courage and solidarity community is happy to join him in the fight against discrimination you. there's been violence before i'm extremely happy to be here not just because i have a certain reputation but rather because what's important to me is also what you stand for school against ray. says i'm a school with courage the size this is the sun shows a clear commitment from the old of you you're saying yes i'm committed it's i'm
9:43 am
part of this something i want to belong to this yeah. that certainly stands for something that means that you are actively concerned. that's what's important to me when i say. they should all go after the federal election i was openly furious and defended myself because at the end of the day about 13 to 14 percent of the people voted for none other than not since. today they all camouflaged a bit wearing ties i'm not uniforms but they were wholly fitted and smelly suits the nazis always sting with but you have to recognize them even before you can smell that. such statements often make peter officially a target of the rightwing and especially the f.t. but that doesn't stop him. and
9:44 am
a person who won't keep quiet is constantine congress even a year after his incident on the basketball court continues thinking and talking about racism. says every day racism when people make common so give you a strange look there are people who aren't hired because of their last name or their looks these are all prejudices and they shouldn't exist as i often hear why can't you say that any more than we always used to say that i think what's your problem just because something was ok to say before things change and then there's . the basketball pros convinced that the effort threshold of people's inhibitions to get into society lawrence boot continues to sink. that's and especially now in connection with germany and the f.t.c. they simply say things that
9:45 am
a plane and clearly racist or sexist or what have you that's a buzz on people who think wow that's pretty crazy what that policy said but since a politician said it that means i can to answer. for this alarming development is to listen and like me and discuss. each business i think you have to teach these topics in school initially for example that germany also committed crimes in colonial times which is something i never learned about. a lot starts with education and you have to explain what racism is what institutional racism is who's affected and what you can do against it i try to educate myself and advise others to do the same it's really important stuff into soon as well to. do so cool the deficient wants to woman admonish and shake people up. i know now a days we have a responsibility to be on our gospels to defend ourselves just to keep our eyes
9:46 am
open so that your generation pays attention and says not on our watch we don't snitched now just be regardless of whatever happened to your grandparents not on our watch your phone calls when we talk about courage that also means sometimes telling someone to shut up is to school and courage is also saying i'm not ok with that high school bus and courage is also when you show that you mean business and push back his calm always try when i can to also be with him be courageous be bold and protect yourselves against racism and stand up for integration. this was special so i enjoyed it thanks for letting me be here. either it's just a since we have so many i'm tough on food fans at our school i simply hope that we would get a boost again in this direction and i think that's what happened and it's hard to
9:47 am
understand it but that's only. my. site has good. to me that because i think an asshole can. be today that 3 refereeing a you. just minus all your 1st time being an assistant ok everything will work out with 10 other. cooled innocent the ass and 8 year old spears still respectful out and. on and i'm sure that everything will work out well today. hey guys on the day i was quite unnecessary ok this is your last warning i don't want to see that again so i think if they ok thank you and you come on i'm here right in front of you and i do see that there are still. what you're doing is
9:48 am
kicking kicking from behind got it i'm giving you another warning and now pull yourself together. it's. you did that very very very well really for your 1st game super. guns it was peaceful i try to avoid carting people because when you do it creates tension i always say that tension creates counter tension but this way it went well but even if it often does my successful in most cases when it comes to uncouth remarks it usually comes from the spectators you get that in the men's local district leagues but when it becomes discriminatory that's when you really have to take a firm stand and. that's what you meant it but it came to his racist incident the sports quote of the hamburg football federation find the host team however the league court overruled the fine because the club pointed out that the guilty person was not a member and that the club stands for tolerance openness and integration. so i was
9:49 am
supposed to have to turn to a steward so that the steward would have had a chance to calm down the fans but they didn't get that chance i'm so correspondingly they were exonerated by us that was particularly painful for me the simple fact was that they insulted me but i was left out of the proceedings and that was then the decision on. so that's what i did check. this was not an isolated case it happened again last december and sharing it was a ruckus when a player was red carded site just so you could i think. he had to tell you what nat west was compelled to say so ok as long as you can write the letter i do you got for. us this was i think i said i'm give us. thought it was racist that he got a red cannot refuse complaints were considered unfounded both by the referee and
9:50 am
the steel that it was because. you already heard it starting in the 1st half when they said his mother was being insulted and then at the end you could hear something racist being said and of course that's when things definitely stopped being fun i don't really want to repeat what he said but it was an animal from the jungle to. the player he felt he had been racially insulting threw a ball in the direction of some of the fans. kind mentioning but nobody did anything to him people told him to stop fouling but no racist terms were used or things like that kind of they didn't happen one was no one here did that all those people who were standing here live you should know it was so was it much ado about nothing maybe just another day on a german football pitch. activist i think spectators making rude remarks is part of the game you know i rarely can hear the exact remarks made during a match it doesn't matter whether it's at this game or at other games that's why i think it's all within healthy parameters i've held in paramus his plays it on
9:51 am
christmas a bit differently and i look to the pitch that i can hear as a team we can't continue playing when 2 of our people are insulted but you can't just gloss over it and bring what is he short rude remarks were made but i didn't hear them and i was standing fairly close by but you can't just have a team stop a game independently. the bulls what this person told them do if something is yelled out in front of 80000 fans they don't just go home he has a. gun. but perhaps under this moment we're trying to set an example. there won't be any investigation into the incident he sure lack of evidence. for a confession is sending the wrong signal if someone is racially abused like that right under the nose of a referee who's in charge of things and then he decides to act saying no you won't do that with us then that's ok this is it leaks and courts have to come up with
9:52 am
a totally different kind of solution so that guns are not formed for lawyers to come. and ban fan tell that banners insulting hoffenheim busted my hump and february 2020 it seemed as if the world of football from his for a moment. as a sign of solidarity for hope the teams just passed the ball around for the last 13 minutes of the match safe and that professional team has ever walked off the pitch because of a racist incident much more needs to be done to combat racism in sport it's all seem to fall for there are so many incidents whether it be in the italian league the german league and now also in basketball there are enough incidents but i think they weren't really publicized or taken seriously until now. you realize that something is wrong and that something has to change or has to be done or the solution for what's going on in most of the muslim was not is that there's no such thing as being a little bit pregnant and in the same vein you can't just be
9:53 am
a little bit against intolerance be if you're not just a little bit against nazis and not just a little bit against racism that gets cut instead you're absolutely against it and what do you stand for and what are you doing about it just to stuff that gets caught in basketball there is no process and told them what to do if a racist comment happens in a game with me going to go i think there are no clue. rules maybe there has to be a referee's meeting clarifying the difference made between insults and racial insults. it's not the same when you swear at someone or make a racist comment and i think that's where you have to draw the line and say if something like that happens and it's heard by the referee or by players then you have to use a new rule that a game has to be stopped momentarily. clubs and leagues are getting involved workshops post is nvidia's that's supposed to make people more aware of the problem
9:54 am
but could more. does the shelf a bit i do see leagues getting involved with the german football association needs to be there as does the league but just getting a fair play badge or having jerome boateng and a white player do a campaign together. those are very nice ads which are also fairly entertaining and also some house of purpose. is gone spacek but of course that's still not enough it's just marketing in the end there's a to submit it this is for the gods or don't is this and make up he's got this i mean you have to get more experienced people involved to tackle this problem and to give them the opportunity to put together an anti racism programme it will have it done by the german football association or whoever but people who know what they're talking about because what often happens is that someone is hired and writes that's rice says that's rice and we're all equal. like
9:55 am
a lot of clubs are also looking for a new generation of referees that's why the clubs tikrit has produced its video clip on to may know him as the face of that so. he certainly not throwing in the town despite his experiences with racism. active against racism and discrimination with hundreds from. better future. bad action more respect a shouldn't be normal for referees on the football pitch to get insulted by parents and fans well old just human beings being as i did mention. shuffle dust motes i hope that people will be able to shake things up a bit i also hope that my impact will also prompt others to do something to do more and to make things crystal clear soon to be out some classes on.
9:56 am
the slope of the show that it's important everyone tries on their own level within their own circle to strive for change and to step in whenever racism macos is meant i'd have the just one person would show a bit of courage and speak up and that would already be a big help. systemic
