If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict upsets the global geopolitical balance, the world of sport remains no less affected. The scale of the war between Israel and Hamas forces International Federations to make decisions for security reasons and provokes diverse and varied reactions among athletes. Asked about this subject during an interview with Click on Canal +, Aurélien Tchouaméni gave his opinion on political positions taken within the professional environment. In addition, the French international insists on the fact that players are not obliged to publicly take sides on social issues and calls for respect for “modesty” of each one.
“I don’t know if it’s a trend. I’m not necessarily a fan because before being a football player, before being a celebrity, we are human beings. Human beings have different sensitivities, especially on subjects that can be difficult like this. There is modesty, there are subjects on which certain players, certain personalities find it much easier to give their opinions, others less so. We must respect it. It is nowhere written that a celebrity must absolutely speak on any subject. I think it depends on the person, their ability and above all their willingness to talk about a subject.said the Real Madrid player.
