Didn't cross my mind till you mentioned it.
The USA bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki murdering thousands of civilians, but everybody wears the USA flag. We all know they just fear Nazism becoming a religion with Hitler as it's spearhead.
Not allowing people to buy what they want and claiming German government isn't Nazi now thats a stretch
Yeah normally I’d say it’s woke culture gone mad but I saw the image before reading the headline and immediately said “yo what the fuck Germany we trying a third time?” So yeah I can see this needing a change

2024: I'm offended by a font
OMG. That’s like totally.
BBC reporter assuming the audience doesn't know about the SS and their symbols. well then, apparently the German football association greenlighting the jersey design was oblivious too. staff poorly educated in history causing embarrassment and PR disasters. what else is new?
😂 someone made that and then someone approved it
I believe they still hold the SS title by supplying weapons to Israel
Crazy story, beautiful lady ❤
So this is where the old weather ladies have gone.
USE A DIFFERENT FONT FOR FK SAKE
