Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why the fuck apologise for that? Did some bigoted fucksticks get upset? Good.
Because what she said could be taken as her supporting the racists...
And well adjusted adults apologize after saying something the wrong way...
Seriously, I don't understand why you're so upset. Did you read the article and not understand what was happening?
Did you never learn to apologize for miscommunication?
Do you always just double down and if anyone ever apologizes you think they "lost"?
I am downright intrigued for why you think apologizing is a bad move here....
So is Quokka your other account, and you've just been talking to yourself?
Did you think I replied to you?
Did you think I was talking about you?
Are you just replying to every comment in this thread?
I really don't understand what you or that other account are doing, if you're the same person it starts making a little more sense. But I really don't think any of this is going to be productive.
Just trying to understand what's going on here and why people are upset someone apologized for phrasing something poorly.
Huh, for some reason I was. No idea how that happened. My apologies.
Well, first of all the statement could be interpreted either way (either meaning a fully-white team would be better or worse).
But no, it was not backlash from some bigots. It was the "anti-bigots" that think you're a bigot for mearly mentioning skincolour.
I can't find a quote from the OP linked DW article, so I found this.

EDIT: It is in the original article posted, it's just the OP comment that is misleading. Read the article, and forget the OP comment.
My amateur translation as neither English or German first language:
This team is really great, imagine (for a moment) if it was only white German players.
Seems like she is trying to defend the fact that it's not an all white team. But IDK, seems somehow inelegant the way she writes it. But maybe my German isn't good enough?
I think she should have stopped at just saying the team is great, the second part just seems like a weird response to racist complaints that there are too few whites on the team. Just saying the team is great, is probably the best counter to racism IMO.
Your German is on point. It was very badly phrased.
Thank you. 😀
I don't know.. whenever I heard this sentence it was followed by an example of someone being racist.
