Leon Goretzka was not happy with the comments made by the ambassador about homosexuality.
The LGBTQ+ people should accept our rules, according to him.
The host nation of the World Cup considers homosexuality to be immoral.
A banner was put up in protest against the comments made by the actor.
Goretzka told German media that it was very oppressive. This is an image of a man in the past.
You can't believe that this can be said by a World Cup ambassador just before the World Cup.
Homosexuality is haram, according to the actor. What does haram mean?
Why is it haram, I am not a strict Muslim. He stated before the interview was stopped that it was damage in the mind.
The German Football Association president was shocked by the World Cup ambassador's comments.
"The statement discredits the entire LGBTIQ community and reveals an extremely problematic relationship with human rights," Neuendorf told German daily Bild.
Should the ethics committee deal with this?
Neuendorf said he had spoken to a gay former player from Germany.
He talked to Thomas Hitzlsperger on the phone. The World Cup ambassador's mistake is out of the question and leaves us stunned.
The comments were condemned by Human Rights Watch.
Same-sex relationships and the promotion of same-sex relationships are criminalised inQatar, with punishments ranging from fines to the death sentence.
The host country's World Cup organizers stated "everyone is welcome" and "no-one will be discriminated against", but the chief executive of the country's World Cup organizing committee said the government wouldn't change its laws on homosexuality.
The competition's build-up has caused a lot of controversy, so Fifa wrote to the nations asking them to focus on football.
10 European football associations, including those of England and Wales, said "human rights are universal and apply everywhere" in a letter signed by the president of the world's largest sport organization.
England's Harry Kane and nine other captains of European teams, including Germany, will be wearing 'One Love' armbands in order to promote diversity and inclusion.
It's disappointing that the men's World Cup is being held in a country that doesn't allow gays.
