Asamoah Left ‘Speechless’ By Schalke Chairman’s Racist Comments

Gerald Asamoah has reacted to racist comments attributed to Schalke FC chairman, Clemens Tonnies, last week, with the Ghana-born former Germany international saying the comments left him speechless.

The German football administrator uttered the condescending statements against Africans at a public event in Paderborn last Thursday, saying: “Instead of increasing taxes, we should rather finance 20 power plants in Africa every year. Then Africans would stop cutting down trees and producing children when it’s dark” according to DW.

For the shameful comments, Asamoah has called out Tonnies for despite his issuing a statement of apology on the comments he later branded “foolish”. Taking to social media, former Schalke player condemn the comments, stating: “Honestly I am a little bit speechless.”

Further, he wrote: “I worked with Clemens Tonnies for a long time and we became friends. He never acted racist towards me. His words did surprise, shock and hurt me.

“It’s clear that this is not okay. He insults me and all the other affected ones. We can’t tolerate it. He called me personally and apologized himself, nevertheless, we will sit together soon because something like that can’t happen!”
