According to The Guardian, Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Felix Nmecha has responded to criticism from the club's official supporters' group regarding his goal celebrations, which were linked to the 'The King's Return' campaign associated with the 'Ballers in God' (BIG) network. German broadcaster ARD has linked BIG to ultra-conservative views on homosexuality and transgender identity. Nmecha stated on social media: 'My message has never been about promoting intolerance, discrimination, or hate in any form. As Christians, our message is one of love and respect for everyone.' Dortmund stated they take fan concerns seriously and would address the matter with the player. DPA reported that Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp has already spoken to Nmecha about the issue at the national team camp.
