Walkout over racism
Print Edition
Germany鈥檚 Olympic soccer team walked off the field during a preparation match for the Tokyo Games on Saturday in response to alleged racist abuse from an opposing Honduras player toward German defender Jordan Torunarigha.
The players left the field together with five minutes remaining in the game after Torunarigha was 鈥渞acially insulted,鈥 the German soccer federation said on Twitter.
鈥淚f one of our players is racially abused, it鈥檚 not an option for us to keep playing,鈥 Germany coach Stefan Kuntz said. 鈥淚t was hard to get him in, he was terribly upset because he said he was repeatedly racially abused,鈥 he continued. 鈥淔or us it鈥檚 clear, this violates our values, we cannot tolerate it.鈥
The Honduran federation said the 鈥渟ituation occurred due to a misunderstanding on the field of play.鈥
