Kevin Behrens from VfL Wolfsburg punished after homophber statement!

VfL Wolfsburg is confronted with a serious incident after the player Kevin Behrens made a homophobic remark during an internal autograph session. This statement that fell in September has made high waves in the past few weeks and caused the club management to take measures.

According to the report of the "Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung", Behrens was proven with a sensitive fine. In addition to the financial sanction, the 33-year-old also received a warning that could even result in termination in the event of repeat. However, the association was cautious when asked by the German Press Agency and only confirmed that there were sanctions for the player without responding to how high the fine actually is.

incident and reaction of the association

The homophobic statement of Behrens was particularly focused on his behavior during an appointment in which he did not sign a jersey held in rainbow colors. This jersey should set a sign of diversity and tolerance. When signing, the problematic remark of the offensive player occurred.

Last week Behrens gave an interview with the "Sport Bild", in which he apologized for his "spontaneous statements" and emphasized that they were "absolutely not okay". He explained that the topic was discussed in detail internally and expressed the desire not to speak about it in public.

VfL Wolfsburg reacted to the incident with a clear statement. The association promised that such statements do not match the values of the club. "The incident was immediately processed internally," said the association and confirmed its obligation to diversity and tolerance. The basic values such as respect, sincerity and openness have always been anchored in club philosophy.

The reaction of the VfL not only represents an answer to Behrens' statements, but also shows that the association takes its social responsibility seriously. The measure against Behrens could be considered a step towards a clear positioning of the club against discrimination and for equality.
