German FA rejects Ozil claims

AFP, Berlin
The German Football Association (DFB) on Monday rejected claims of racism against their president Reinhard Grindel made by Mesut Ozil in his announcement that he has retired from international football.
"We reject the notion that the DFB is associated with racism," readastatement
"The DFB stands for diversity, from the representatives at the top to the boundless, day-to-day dedication of people at the base.”
On Sunday Ozil announced his retirement from international duty in a statement which accused Grindel of racism.
"In the eyes of Grindel and his supporters, I am German when we win, but I
am an immigrant when we lose," wrote Ozil, a 2014 World Cup winner, who accused Grindel of failing to side with him against his critics.
The DFB said they regretted Ozil's decision to quit international football, but firmly rejected his accusations against Grindel.
"The DFB is very grateful to Mesut Ozil for his outstanding performance in the jersey of the German national teams," continued the statement.
"It is regrettable that Mesut Ozil felt that he had not been sufficiently protected as a target of racist slogans.
"But it was important that Mesut Ozil, like Ilkay Gundogan before him, gives answers to the photo (with Erdogan).
"In the DFB, we win and lose together, as a team.
"The DFB would have been happy if
Mesut Ozil had wanted to remain part of the team on this shared basis. He decided otherwise."
Ozil, 29, said he was true to both his Turkish and German origins and insisted he did not intend to make a political statement by appearing with Erdogan just before the World Cup finals.
Ozil's explosive statement, in three separate postings on Twitter and Instagram, was hailed by Erdogan's government, which has championed a campaign against what Ankara sees as growing Islamophobia in Europe.
"I congratulate Mesut Ozil who by leaving the national team has scored the most beautiful goal against the virus of fascism," Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul wrote on Twitter.
