Whats going on youtube. In this video we discuss the ridiculous world we live in, as Detroit Red Wings goalie Thomas Greiss is denied access to join the German national team based off of Greiss’ political beliefs.

Gonna stop the video before I potentially get more information.. but I don't know what he's been liking and such, and I'm a Panthers fan so I hate Greiss.. 😉
Nah but seriously, I think it's getting ridiculous. I believe Robin Lehner got backlash when he said he voted for Trump. Granted, I don't agree with him on that but I still don't think my opinion on his political views should impact his life or his posibilities to play in the NHL.
Politics and sports should be keept as far away from each other as possible. People need to show more respect for each other and the freedom we have to have our own opinions.
I just heard the news from you. As a German I think it is interesting to give my perspective. I am not saying that I am speaking for all Germans but I think I am speaking for a lot of them: At first I want to make clear that the freedom of speech and the protection of minorities is a very high value in Germany. In the past days I looked over the German players in the NHL that could potantially play at the World Championship in May. One of them was Greiss who hasn't played for Germany since 2017 where he was benched after liking a picture where Hillary Clinton was compared to Adolf Hitler. You just said that the pictures he liked weren't that bad but I can't agree on that issue. At least as a German. Here in my country there are borders you shouldn't cross. Probably the worst one is Hitler and the Holocaust. He should have known that liking the pictures is a real problem for the country he presents. It is not that he is a Trump supporter. He has the right to be that. But I really thought in the last couple of years that this happening would be forgotten. Then I found out that he offered his condolences after the dead of Rush Limbaugh. This was another event that is a problem in our country. Showing support for people who were openly racist and not comminted to truth but alternative facts is another crossed border here. In the USA it might not be, in fact, it is not as much as a crossed border than it is in Germany. You always have to look at the perspective of the country and their values. In Germany they are a bit different than in the USA. And that is alright. From the perspective of sports, it is a loss für Germany. Greiss had a better season than NHL Fans give him credit for. But I don't want a player that sympathizises with racists representing my country. Not Germany.
Good video my man.
Comparing Hilary Clinton to Adolf Hitler is careless and just plain stupid. Hitler was responsible for the deaths of 6 million people. Maybe Greiss thinks the holocaust was a hoax. I'm a Red Wings fan didn't realize he was such an idiot.
here in germany it is getting crazy. we had kind the same issue for a basket ball forward, who went to a protest in Berlin for more free speech and democracy. After the protest the team of the Telekom Baskets Bonn fired him. We arent in a free democracy anymore.
Thomas Greiss, deutscher Patriot! Der sich nicht das Maul von Linken und pseudoliberalen verbieten lässt!! Hochachtung!
Respekt vor Thomas Greiss. Nur wer gegen den Strom schwimmt, merkt in welchem Dreck er schwimmt.
Halte den Kurs.
Es macht mich so Traurig wie die Deutsche Politik sich entwickelt hat.
Der soll Eishockey Spielen was der in seiner Freizeit macht oder Welche Politische Meinung der hat interresiert mich nicht und den DEB geht das einen Scheiß an.
Fick dich DEB es ist eine Schande das du jetzt auch auf den ANTIFA, Links Zugaufgesprungen bist der genauso wenig mit Demokratie zutun hat wie Hitler.
You look like a German
I met Thomas Greiss when he played for my NY Islanders. Probably one of the nicest hockey players I’ve ever met! Good riddance!!! The German men's National Hockey Team sucks anyways! He’s better off not playing and getting lit up & embarrassed because Germany’s defence is hot trash! No need to look like a fool in front of your fellow NHLs! By giving up goals (that could potentially affect your next contract) because the team in front of you sucks! For me, it’s all about sports! Politics is the last thing I give a f… about! Thomas's wife besides being f…ing smoking hot! Is also an American, hence which will make him an American in due time. He’ll have dual citizenship! If you guys don’t want him as your backup goalie? I’m sure we Americans wouldn’t mind!
P.s. It would be nice if Thomas Griess came back home and was Sorokin’s backup after we trade Varlly! Time to come back home to Long Island where you’re beloved Thomas!
hes a literal nazi. but keep talking 🤡🤡🤡
