Zsolt Petry, the Hungarian goalkeeping coach at Hertha Berlin just demonstrated how to get fired with one easy step. He had an interview with a Hungarian newspaper...
From DW:
Speaking to the Magyar Nemzet daily on Easter Monday, Petry, 54, called the EU's immigration policy the "moral downfall" of Europe, while also criticizing RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi for his public support of same-sex marriage.
"I don't know what led Peter to stand up for people with homosexual, transvestite and other gender identities," said Petry of his compatriot Gulacsi, who took to Facebook in December to denounce a constitutional change that effectively banned adoption for LGBTQ couples in Hungary.
"If I were him, as an athlete, I would concentrate on football and not comment publicly on sociopolitical issues," said Petry, who made 38 appearances for Hungary as a goalkeeper and was voted Hungarian player of the year in 1990.
Aaand he's gone 24 hours later, they fired him.
What did he think, that nobody will notice this at Hertha? Free speech is good and all, but any sane person knows how Western companies react when one of their employees does something like this. I guess Petry now can come back home, most Hungarian clubs won't fire him, his views are normal here, while Gulacsi's liberal views made him an enemy in the eyes of many Hungarians, despite him being one of the best Hungarian goalkeepers ever.
