Bayern Munich: launch of "Reds against racism", a campaign against exclusion, abuse and intolerance

"Today, FC Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) kicks off its campaign 'Reds against Racism', with which the club is taking a stand against exclusion, abuse and intolerance," announced the Bavarian club on 05/03/2020.

The campaign is the subject of a video featuring players from Bayern's football and basketball teams, as well as several of the club's managers. They all speak out against racism. The club is also selling "Rot gegen rassismus" (Reds against racism) t-shirts for €15 in all of its official stores. "The entire proceeds will go to social organisations that are committed to diversity and tolerance," added the club.

"With our campaign we want to take a stand against hatred, agitation and any kind of violence. Racism is one of the worst forms of discrimination and has no place in our world. Football should be fun. This is what FC Bayern stands for - along with the values of tolerance, respect and diversity," said Herbert Hainer, president of the Bavarian club.
