Recently retired from the pitch after a brief spell at Istanbul Başakşehir, Mesut Özil is back in the spotlight, but not for the best reasons.
After an elaborate end to his career, particularly in Turkey, the former player is often in the news off the pitch. Especially when it comes to talking about a range of social causes.
Unfortunately, this time, the former Real Madrid player is the subject of great controversy. His fitness coach posted a photo on Instagram that shows Mesut Özil with a tattoo of a gray wolf and three half moons.
These same gray wolves represent the political symbol of a Turkish far-right organization. A movement described by the newspaper Mundo Deportivo as neo-fascist, anti-Kurdish, anti-Greek, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian. The player has not yet reacted to the controversy, although this is not the first time that Özil has been involved in these types of matters.
