Leon Goretzka, a prominent player for the highly recognized Bundesliga team Bayern Munich, has responded strongly to the recent very disrespectful anti-gay remark made by the FIFA Ambassador for the Qatar World Cup 2022. His response soon gained popularity since it reflected the sentiment of many more.

Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka said, ‘It’s very oppressive. This is an image of a man that comes from another millennium. It leaves you speechless that something like this can be said by a World Cup ambassador shortly before a World Cup.’

The comment made by the ambassador and Former Qatari international Khalid Salman was very disgraceful as he said, “They have to accept our rules here. (Homosexuality) is haram. You know what haram (forbidden) means? When asked why it was haram, he said: ‘I am not a strict Muslim but why is it haram? Because it is damage in the mind.”

Just two weeks before the Qatar 2022 World Cup begins, Salman’s explosive remark has provoked uproar. Numerous dignitaries also addressed the same issue by stating that it was improper and that they shouldn’t address the public with such harmful messages at a time when everyone is attempting to normalize it.

Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former FIFA president, added fuel to the flames by acknowledging that the Middle Eastern nation shouldn’t have been chosen as the hosts. Blatter told the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger, “The choice of Qatar was a mistake,”   As Qatar was already receiving criticism, these messages also spread like wildfire across the internet.

He also added, “At the time, we actually agreed in the executive committee that Russia should get the 2018 World Cup and the USA that of 2022. It would have been a gesture of peace if the two long-standing political opponents had hosted the World Cup one after the other. It’s too small a country. Football and the World Cup are too big for that.”
