Nmecha's crown gesture draws criticism from BVB fan group
The BVB fan and sponsor department criticises the Ballers in God network after Nmecha's two goals against Elversberg and his crown celebration.
Felix Nmecha was the hero on Saturday: he scored twice in Borussia Dortmund's win over SV Elversberg and then again laid a crown on the ground, a gesture of support for the campaign "The King's Return".
This Sunday morning, the BVB fan and sponsor department issued a statement defending everyone's right to live and profess their faith, but sharply criticising the network behind the campaign, Ballers in God, for devaluing and excluding people over their sexual orientation or way of life.
According to Sportschau, which investigated the organisation together with ARD's Monitor this summer, a chat with Monitor reporters described abortion as "Satan's plan", and a sample counselling chat answered yes to whether being a lesbian is a sin.
