Oke Göttlich, president of St. Pauli club and vice-president of the German Football Association (DFB), has called for serious consideration of boycotting the upcoming World Cup. Drawing parallels to Olympic boycotts of Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984, he argues the current US threat is greater.
"The life of a football player is not worth more than that of any person affected by the host country's actions," Göttlich stated, emphasizing the need to establish "red lines" for potential boycotts as geopolitical tensions impact international sports. noplasticplease.life
