German football federation (DFB) president Bernd Neuendorf criticized FIFA for its attempts to restrict teams' political activities when it comes to human rights at the World Cup in Qatar.He was also prepared to put money where his mouth is at saying he is ready to be fined when German captain Manuel Neuer wears the multi-colored One Love armband during the World Cup. Neuer and several other European team captains plan to wear a multicolored One Love armband at the tournament to support diversity. "Personally, I would be quite prepared to accept a fine," Neuendorf said in Qatar on Friday. "This is not a political statement, but a statement for human rights," he added.

Neuendorf was particularly vocal about FIFA president Gianni Infantino's letter two weeks ago urging teams to "focus on the football'' and leave political issues aside."That the topic of human rights should now no longer play a role, that we are now concentrating here on football only, that irritated us to a certain extent and disturbed us,'' Neuendorf said. In a seperate event on Saturday Infantino accused critics of Qatar's treatment of migrant workers and LGBTQ rights of hypocrisy."I am European. For what we have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before giving moral lessons," he said.
The FIFA president spoke for almost an hour in defense of the tournament and Qatar on Saturday saying he has difficulty understanding the criticisms.

"This one-sided moral lesson is just hypocrisy," he said.
He opened his monologue saying: "Today I have strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker."
His statement was immediately criticized on social media, with many pointing out that if he was indeed gay, he would not be able to openly say that in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal under law. On Friday, Neuendorf said Germany decided not to back Infantino's re-election next year as a result of the soccer body's handling of human rights issues at World Cup hosts Qatar and its failure to take a stand on Iran.
