On the other hand, the players of the German team pose, before the game and in the traditional team photo, covered the mouth with the handA sign of protest against FIFA’s decision, which they understand is against freedom of expression.
The German Federation explained through its twitter account that “we want to be a sample values that we live in choice, diversity and mutual respect. This is not a political message: human rights are non-negotiable. It goes without saying, but unfortunately it still is. This is why this message is so important to us. Forbidding us to wear bracelets is like covering our mouths. Our position stands.”
