Football: Arsenal's Ozil removed from computer game in China over Uighur comments

BEIJING - Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has been removed from Konami's eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 computer game in China over his comments about the country's treatment of its Uighur Muslims.

"The German player Ozil posted an extreme statement about China on social media," NetEase said in a statement on Weibo on Wednesday. Ozil, a German Muslim of Turkish origin, posted messages of social media last week calling minority Uighurs"warriors who resist persecution" and criticised both China's crackdown and the silence of Muslims in response.

Looks like bunch of crying babies.
