Races and persecution

The member of the German Olympic team in the Academic crest Nadia Dryagall recently left London ahead of schedule. The head of the German Olympic Sports Union Michael Fesper said that she made this decision voluntarily so as not to throw the shadow on the team.

The shadow, clouding the light appearance of the team, was the boyfriend of the crest Michael Fisher, who previously also engaged in rowing, and is now known in Germany as a right -dressing politician. In 2011, he was a candidate of the National Democratic Party of Germany in the elections in the landtag of the Earth of Mecklenburg-Pomerania. NDPG is legal party. Fisher assures that he broke with neo -Nazism. The NDPG leadership confirmed that in May Fisher left her ranks.

Nadia Dryagalla told DPA in an interview that she has been familiar with Fisher for five years, that he did not share his views and that these views have repeatedly caused the discord between them. From the crest itself, no one has ever heard anything like Nazi rhetoric. Nevertheless, because of the relationship with Fisher, she already had to quit the police. Perhaps this time everything would cost if Fisher had not come to London to support his girlfriend and did not publish a phrase on Facebook that he was “delighted” with the internationalism of games and sits in the train of the train among “black and packages”.

The German Federation of Academic Gray intends to investigate the charges against the rowing.

It is worth noting that Dryagalla was subjected to acracious after the game ended for her team - the German eight did not break into the finals.

In Germany, the incident has become the subject of a violent discussion. It is proposed , in particular, to bring candidates to the Olympic team to an oath for the loyalty of democracy.

Fisher’s exit from the party is called imaginary - they say that he did not change his beliefs, he simply did not spoil his girlfriend’s sports career. In defense of Dryagall, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Germany Thomas de Mesier spoke. “Is the society really rightfully checking the reliability of the friends of the athletes?” He asks. “Where should the line be held here?”

This is not the only case at the London Olympics. The first victim of political correctness was before the start of Greek Greek Paraskevi Papakhrista, removed by the leadership of his team from a triple jump. The reason was her recording on Twitter. Discussing the outbreak of the fever of the Western Nile in Greece, the papaharist expressed this way: "In Greece, there are so many Africans that mosquitoes will at least be provided with home nutrition." The jumping jump was excluded from the team, not yet reaching London. And here is also an interesting detail: she was by no means a favorite of games, according to the results of the latest European and world championships, she entered only the second ten.

Then the scandal burst out with the Swiss football player Michel Morganella, and also because of Twitter. After losing the national team of South Korea, he spoke unflattering about the Koreans and was expelled from the team regardless of an apology.

No doubt, it’s so worthless to speak. But does not all this resembling the visiting commission of the CPSU district committee, which also demanded from athletes, artists and scientists of high political consciousness?

In the comments to all three cases, official representatives of the National Olympic Committee, condemning guilty, refer to the Olympic Charter and the Olympic Spirit. It is permissible to ask, however, how, for example, the decision of the organizers of the judo tournament is combined with this spirit to divide the training room after the Lebanese wrestlers refused to train in the same room with the Israelis? Is the IOC refusal to declare a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the attack at the 1972 Munich Olympiad at the opening ceremony at the opening ceremony, for which President of the IOC of the IOC Jacques Rogge was awarded the special gratitude of the Palestinian autonomy authorities?

The history of the Olympic movement knows many examples of ostentatious tolerance. The brightest is, of course, the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The chairman of her organizing committee Ritter von Halt, responding to the "insinuations of the enemies of Germany", also wrote then that they "come from circles that do not understand what the Olympic spirit is." The Nazis included several outstanding athletes-Jews in their Olympic team. Some of them by that time had already been excluded from national clubs and emigrated, and German sports functionaries laid a lot of strength, calling them to their homeland. There were five Jews in the Austrian team. These facts had a cardinal importance in the final resolution of the issue of the fate of the Berlin Olympiad. The man who actually disrupted her boycott was the then head of the American Olympic Committee, Avery Brandj, who considered the idea of ​​a boycott a "conspiracy of Zionists." It was he who was the president of the IOC in 1972 and decided to continue the Munich games despite the terrorist attack.

It is also appropriate to recall that the Olympic fire relay is a Nazi idea. The idea to carry fire from ancient Olympia to the capital of the Reich - a worthy heir to antiquity - was inspired by Nazi torch marches. Leni Rifenstal writes in his memoirs: when she came to Greece to remove the descendants of the ancient Hellenes running with the Olympic torch (her plan was in revival of ancient statues), the young man of the ideal proportions that she chose was by no means a Greek or Aryan, but a race of incomplete Russian emigrant named Anatol.

At first glance, the case of Nadia Dryagall is the opposite example, evidence of the high fundamentalness of the people who has passed through the males of denazification. Well, if the German rowing had a chance to win the final, would the German sports bosses be equally fundamental?
