China TV network cancels soccer broadcast after player criticizes country's treatment of Muslims

On Friday, Ozil, a Turkish-German Muslim, called Uighurs "warriors who resist persecution" and criticized China and the silence of Muslims in response, according toThe Global Times, a Chinese English-language newspaper, called Ozil's comments "false" and said he had "disappointed Chinese fans and football governing authorities," via its Twitter account on Sunday.

China has described the camps as places for vocational training, but classified documents leaked to news organizations last month revealed a deliberate strategy to lock up ethnic minorities even though they had not committed any crimes,Arsenal has sought to distance itself from Ozil's comments.

Is that all it takes? Man, China is more sensitive than Trump is. I think we should all criticize China to see just how far they will go with banning stuff.

But he doesn’t mind the actions of the Turkish state, no criticism there of course. Or is he pretending he’s German again? This is why nobody likes MesutOzil1088 ... well, apart from the savage Erdogan.

Ozil supports east turkestan,But east turkestan is an internationally recognized terrorist organization.Don't you know?This is why the Chinese are angry.

Cancel all of them terrorists lovers.

That's what they should all do as soon as one of those cry babies cries. Shut it down and move on.
