Lehmann sacked from all jobs after sending racist text

Post by Scipio Africanus »

Jens Lehmann has been sacked by both Hertha Berlin and Sky Germany after appearing to accidentally text fellow TV pundit Dennis Aogo asking if he was the company's 'token black guy'.

In what appears to be a WhatsApp message mistakenly sent to Aogo, Germany and Arsenal legend Lehmann - translated literally - says: 'Is Dennis actually your "black" one?,' following it with a laughing emoji.

Aogo posted a screenshot to his Instagram story shortly after, alongside the caption: 'WOW... The message was probably not meant for me!!!'

It is not yet clear who Lehmann meant to send the message to, but it has resulted in him being sacked from his position as an advisor on Hertha Berlin's board, while a statement from Sky said the company would no longer have the ex-goalkeeper on their platform.

Executive vice president of Sky Sport Charly Classen said: 'Dennis Aogo is a valued colleague and excellent expert and we are very happy to have him on our team. At Sky, we condemn all forms of racism and we don't give racism space or a platform.

'We often had Jens Lehmann as a guest on Sky on our program, are very disappointed with his behaviour and are now planning not to invite him as a guest on our programs.'

Maybe Aogo should have played for Nigeria, Oyibo is just showing you who they are.

Typical Arsenal ex-player/player/person.

Shameless racist club! After what they did to Adebayor, you know that the club and its fan are deeply racist.

Irony being, there might be fact in the statement. Since the death of George Floyd, previously whitewashed organisations hurried to have a black so and so on their front cover, as if to suggest, "we're not racist, we have black friends". In addition to sacking Lehman, both Hertha and Sky Germany should follow up their statement by detailing the depth of diversity within their organisation.

Shut up please. Considering your support for a club that threw banana at an African you are shameless. :oops:

...a racist is like a dormant volcano waiting to erupt and spew deadly hot molten lava, when the damage is discovered while scarring the people, it retreats (in humans they apologize).

Micah Richards is a token, but only for Man City not black people.
