Kimmich & Naglesmann & i think Gundogan did make a clear response to that foolish survey by broadcaster ARD, asking if there should be more white players in the national team. noteworthy that — as far as i'm aware, casually following events in English — none of them brave enough to speak to the wider social and political climate the question and reaction springs from.

Spot on—easy to comment on the bizarre ARD survey but none of those players addressed any of the underlying issues or push back against far right narratives. Very different from France's response, which was clear and purposeful.
