The human rights campaign by the German national team before the World Cup qualifier against Iceland continues to cause a stir. After the mostly positive reactions to the game in Duisburg on Thursday evening, the German Football Association (DFB) now also receives criticism for the publication of a video entitled “Making of .. #HUMANRIGHTS”.

As with many DFB campaigns in the recent past, the publication of the video has now been criticized several times on the Internet. The accusation: The good basic idea of the campaign is diluted and damaged by a marketing video, said several users. It was criticized that “marketing with human rights” is being done. “You are seriously turning a sensitive topic like human rights into a hip image campaign,” wrote a Twitter user. Another critical issue was the double standard that, for example, the Bayern players advertise the Qatar airline at their club and hold their training camp there on a regular basis.

In addition to criticism, also a little humor
However, the video also received numerous likes. At least some internet users took it with humor. A photo montage emerged in which the players had the words “MANUISGREAT” (Manu is great) on their shirts – as an allusion to the 35th birthday of Captain Manuel Neuer this Saturday. It is possible that the players only positioned themselves in the wrong order, speculated the user “Joetorius” on Twitter.
