A German state broadcaster survey has been condemned as “racist” by players and the coach of the country’s national football team. The ARD poll asked whether there were enough white players in the German nation team, which is gearing up for the European Champions held in the country this month. German head coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Sunday the survey was “racist,” adding: “I feel we need to wake up.
” Joshua Kimmich, a Germany midfielder, had the previous day denounced the survey as “racist,” and Nagelsmann agreed, saying: “I see this in exactly the same way. This question is insane. There are people in Europe who’ve had to flee because of war, economic factors, environmental disasters, [and] people who simply want to be taken in.
