The German Mainz 05 is happy that the fan who returned his card is no longer a member, arguing that he can no longer identify with the club because he considers that there are "too many blacks" in the team.

"For months now I can no longer identify with this club. I have started to feel that the African Cup is being played and not the German Bundesliga," says the partner in his message, which the club has made public to the same as the answer.

The club described the argument as unacceptable and said that, although it normally fights for each member, in the current case it is far from regretting that someone like that separated from the entity. "For us it only counts that someone shares our values. We receive the people who share them in our community. For them we are glad that you stop being a member since you do not share the basic values ​​of the club," says Mainz in his answer.

The club also recalled that its statutes expressly tell it that the club offers children, youth and adults a sports homeland regardless of gender, origin, skin color, religious beliefs, social position or sexual orientation.

In his argumentation the partner claimed not to be racist but that it did not seem right to him that in the Mainz lineup there were sometimes up to nine black players. " Racism does not start when someone defines themselves as racist , which normally nobody does, but when someone expresses racist points of view," the club replied.
