I’m new to this Özil matter. I’m not really sure what he did or said. None of the sources online don’t seem to provide clarifications. From all I know, he’s a revolutionary player in modern football and always seemed like a nice guy to me

Gargled Erdogans nutsack
His political ideology doesn’t align with the Westerners.
Bro his “political ideology” is literally nationalist and fascist
This. This is the only real reason.
They want him to submit and stay quiet about genocide against muslim groups.
The German racists and islamophobes would call him Turkish when he lost and German when he won.
Arsenal support and defend Zinchenko but called Ozil political.
I would probably become a far right ally of my home nation too if I was treated like this.
Because Germans are extremely racist.
Funny considering he’s the one with the tattoo of the ultra-right racist group
Also, we aren’t in 1939 anymore
He reminds me of Berbatov. Amazing skills but seemingly no effort. Some of his assists were crazy good.
People don’t like him because of his political opinions as they act like they’re experts in Turkish politics.
As a player I can agree people would consider his mentality weak or unprofessional
He was honest about his political beliefs unlike almost every other footballer and got hatred for not apologising like Gundo did.
He also had a ‘lazy’ play style that is a lightning rod for criticism unless you’re winning every game.
Got a tattoo of a facist organisation
Being lazy on the pitch. And it’s not a myth either. There are numerous examples from highlights alone where you can pin at least a portion of the blame on Ozil for not bothering to track back or just dangling out a lazy leg.
The Bayern thrashings were the perfect example of this. One or two goals where he lets Robben come inside, drift past him, then just jogs back at a snail’s pace.

A lot of people had problems with his attitude when he was playing. He always seemed like he was lacking motivation.
-
Made the famous pic with Erdogan. While Gundogan apologized for taking it, Ozil called everyone who criticized him for it a racist and islamophobic.
-
Had Erdogan as his best man at his wedding

As a tattoo with a symbol of the grey wolves. They’re a nationalistic, racist and far right organization.
Ozil as a player was class, as a human being he’s not so great I guess
He was greater as a human being who took stands In this industry you need a lack of spine to succeed
In defense of him alot of that stuff happened in 2018. Before that Ozil was a great member of German national team and won wc with them. He thought everybody would respect him, but after 2018 we saw Trump and alot of far right growing in the world. I think after wc 2018 somebody may have rubbed him the wrong way, and he responded by doing all of that. He was always a quiet person before those events. To me the clearest evidence of their being some racism in the national team at the time was the exclusion of Leroy sane. Before his acl injury he was one of the best 1v1 dribblers in the world on arguably the best team (man city). I honestly see no other excuse to exclude him other than maybe inexperience.

Political matters. Had a picture with the Turkish president 2 months before the 2018 World Cup , where Germany as a whole messed up the entire tournament , and got blamed for the disaster. Then expressed his support to Uyghur Turks , which leaves Chinese under blame , who had a huge chunk of stocks at Arsenal, which ruined it entirely for him
didn’t know about it too, saw him talking shit about Zinchenko the other day, guy is hella vocal about politics it usually come with a lot of hate
Had a close relationship with Turkish president (dictator) Erdoğan, supported a far right Turkish terrorist group, acted like a Turkish nationalist but refused to join Turkish National team and he lied about it saying he wasnt invited to the Turkish National team, also accused his german teammates of racism, when he arrived at Turkey he was really underwhelming at Fenerbahçe then ended his career at Istanbul Başakşehir (A team that is owned by president Erdoğan and his far right buddies)
Read the newest Interview with his father, he is talking what the big problem with his career was. Got every opportunity in Germany and was the poster child about good integration, but called a dictator his president as german. After critics, tried the racism card and now has turkish right wing tatoos.
Good player, bad workrate and really dumb.
Exactly! He was a great player. But also dumb.
He spoke facts.
He called out China for the uigher issue…China buys and sponsors alot of arsenals stuff.
