In the weeks before Christmas, various columns discussed whether and how one should argue with the uncle who votes for the AfD. But because of the German media’s endless fascination with the AfD and its voters, the question that is becoming increasingly pressing for many families has once again been overlooked: What to do with the cousin who is watching the Darts World Cup?
At the latest when they get excited at the loudness of their compatriots (“Without Germany there would be nothing going on here”), you can sense that the German darts fans there are as proud of their country as the AfD would like everyone to be.
But back to the question: What do you do with your cousin who is watching the Darts World Cup? This week you can tell him about the Africa Cup and therefore about Ayoub El Kaabi, the soccer player from Morocco, who combined the precision of an arrow thrower with the athleticism of a gymnast and achieved something after just three games that should fascinate the world: two overhead kick goals in one tournament.
To all AfD uncles: Not even the great Klaus Fischer managed to do that.
