I am risking getting into trouble with off topic content. But I just have to say something about Ozil. Because it was personal for me.
I feel you. Ozil was one of my absolute favourite players of this generation. Also playing in Arsenal, they club I support. I had a jersey with his name. I've backed the guy with almost cult level reverence. I've backed him through the many criticisms he has taken in the EPL. I've really backed him during his 2018 World Cup fiasco. When Germany turned on him. And he later accused the German FA of racism. I've backed him through all of that.
But in 2019, his promotion of ETIM ideology against China was just the ultimate slap in the face. What's worse, he then criticized Arsenal FC for not supporting his stance against China. If he wanted to speak out for his Muslim compatriots. Why didn't he speak up against UK, US, France, Israel, and India? He didn't. He was very specific about his ETIM agenda against China.This was too far too unforgivable for me. Arsenal FC did the right thing to distance away from politics and froze him out of the team.
Unfortunately. Many Arsenal fans bought into Ozil's BS and started blaming China for the club's woes. It stupidly split the fanbase into anti-China justice warriors on one side, and non-politicals on the other side. Ozil's rebellion against the club wrecked the Arsenal team cohesion and their football suffered. And surprise, surprise. Who is backing Ozil all this time and blasting Arsenal for his treatment? None other than Erdogan, his best man at his wedding. I really hate Erdogan.
