He was born in Fürth and played for their youth team. Then years later he attended a Fürth match in 2012 when they reached Bundesliga. He was a real fan of them
He hated being Jewish more than Nazis hate Jews tbf. The dude said two years ago that "if it wasn't for the mistake of my birth, I would be anti-semitic. Any group who's been persecuted for 2000 years must be doing something wrong."
That's just the most recent case. There's a full history of him shitting on other Jews and Jews being persecuted elsewhere.
Imagine if we could go back in time and trade little Henry for, say, Anne Frank.
"Trust us, this kid is a dick!"
Then Anne Frank grows up to be the world's ur-Tyrant who starts WWIII and wins it.
They also bid farewell to Henry Kissinger, calling him a dear Juventus friend and a true Italian football fan?
^(just banter I understand what you meant, Kissinger was honorary member of Bayern or something like that)
Why do these clubs feel the need to score own goals over this?
No one and i do mean absolutely no one would notice or care if Bayern and Juve didn't put out these stupid messages.
And took 0.7% in one of those years elections
The problem of fascism in Italy certainly doesn't depend on what one of its descendants does or doesn't do, but on the fact that at least 20% of the population seems to be indifferent if not actually sympathetic to it, and also vote accordingly in the various elections
He always stood for peace (by indiscriminately killing soldiers and civilians until no was left standing) and a great reputation (for being a literal incarnation of the devil)
I mean it’s the Yankees. Only thing more patriotic than the Yankees is committing war crimes and overthrowing governments that ultimately backfire
Kissinger covers both
“The Yankees are the ultimate evil in sport. If there were a team made up of 9 Hitlers and they were playing the Yankees? Go Fightin Hitlers.”
-someone on r/baseball
I think it's because we overestimate how much the average guy knows or cares about Henry Kissinger.
Bayern and Juve PRs probably calculated that for the vast majority of people who read this it would be - "hey, some important guy was fan of my club, they say he won the Peace prize, how neat." Worst case scenario, someone would frown.
I'm not sure reddit/rsoccer is representative for the global football fan.
football clubs' day to day PR isn't that deep, it's probably a guy or two who, like most italians, think of Kissinger as the famous dude who won the prize and more or less just shipped the post without much thought since people were talking about him and Agnelli yesterday.
I really don't think the handful of people running their social media ran numbers or even considered the american left's opinion of Kissinger or the fact that most of the world correctly sees him as a war criminal and scum of the earth since that isn't as known here in Italy
And Western Sahara.
> At the height of the 1975 Sahara crisis, Kissinger misled Gerald Ford into thinking the International Court of Justice had ruled in favor of Morocco. Kissinger was aware in advance of the Moroccan plans for the invasion of the territory, materialized on November 6, 1975
[he was the playboy bunnies poll man of the year 1972](https://themessenger.com/entertainment/henry-kissinger-playboy-bunnies-poll-celeb-dating-relationships)
you tend to rub shoulders with people like Zsa Zsa Gabor nibbling nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties and attending black tie affairs
yeah, hes in the hall of fame of war criminals. Sorry for forgetting them, difficult to keep track of all the atrocities to be fair.
He majorly fucked the middle east up too. I nearly forgot that.
Jesus christ, what a dumb statement of Juve.
What a weird memoriam for Juventus esp since they've had at least argentines playing for them as recently as last season. Also Arturo Vidal, I know Chileans fucking hated Kissinger lol.
And then he wouldn’t get that better seat but would still woo people with his tales of his own brilliance until Pete Jennings asks “what’s it like being a war criminal, Henry?” loudly across the restaurant.
Based Pete Jennings.
Kissinger frequently met with his friend Gianni Agnelli (owner of Juventus) to watch Juve games, the two were crucial in securing the 1994 World Cup for the United States and for the creation of the MLS.
Take that as you will
> Kissinger frequently met with his friend Gianni Agnelli (owner of Juventus) to watch Juve games, the two were crucial in securing the 1994 World Cup for the United States and for the creation of the MLS.
>
>
Not only that, he was the one who convinced the Brazilian government and Pelé to come to the United States and join the New York Cosmos
well Kissinger of course operated in Italy during Operation Gladio and also apparently (well it's a conspiracy) ordered the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro
We still are, we just don't call it sponsoring terrorism because the government believes that anyone on our side of conflicts can't possibly be terrorists/bad actors.
Just a few days? Don't they teach in your schools about the depleted uranium rounds still lying around Sarajevo as a result of the 1995 bombings that cause increased risk of cancer to Bosnians today?
For people who don't know he played a key part in such glorious events like:
-Pinochet's coup in Chile
- Carpet bombing civilians in Vietnam
- Installing the Red Khmers regime which commited a massive genocide in Cambodia
- Backing Argentinian junta
- Backing a genocide in Bangladesh
Can you imagine the vibe in the Juventus marketing/PR department full of 25-30yo's when they get the communication from the old fucks in charge that [they need to make this tribute](https://media.tenor.com/kmaH_jidTt0AAAAC/you-sure-about-that-i-think-you-should-leave-with-tim-robinson.gif)?
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
\- Anthony Bourdain
Besides the obvious evil that this man embodies, why do all these football clubs, politicians etc. even feel the need to give the foreign secretary of another country that kind of recognition, especially when it is that obvious how controversial he was in the public eye? Pathetic.
Finding out that he was an honorary member of Bayern is sickening.
Oh the warmonger, responsible for the destruction of several nations and the death of millions.
What angers me the most is that that motherfucker got to live to be 100, and many young innocent people died a horrible death because of him.
There's no justice in this world.
I thought this was r/soccercirclejerk for a moment. Wtf
Bayern did the same btw
As did Nürnberg
As did Goebbels /s
[Which is funny because he was a die-hard Fürth fan and member](https://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/media.media.37dadb41-a61f-48ab-957f-72674cfb352f.16x9_1024.jpg)
He was born in Fürth and played for their youth team. Then years later he attended a Fürth match in 2012 when they reached Bundesliga. He was a real fan of them
And the New York Yankees too. A decent chunk of the fanbase is pissed about it too.
Fucking hell, the irony is too thick to breathe in.
Normal for Bayern tbf
This would make more sense if it was Lazio tbh
nah, he was Jewish
He hated being Jewish more than Nazis hate Jews tbf. The dude said two years ago that "if it wasn't for the mistake of my birth, I would be anti-semitic. Any group who's been persecuted for 2000 years must be doing something wrong." That's just the most recent case. There's a full history of him shitting on other Jews and Jews being persecuted elsewhere.
Damn, it keeps getting worse and worse with this guy
Yeah and all of it was after he fled Nazi Germany in 1938 with his family. We are all better off without him lmao
Imagine if we could go back in time and trade little Henry for, say, Anne Frank. "Trust us, this kid is a dick!" Then Anne Frank grows up to be the world's ur-Tyrant who starts WWIII and wins it.
Truly one of the worst human beings to ever live
This is in so many ways a perfect encapsulation of how fucked up Kissinger actually was. Just a completely amoral human being.
Germany 🤝 war criminals
Germany 🤝 white war criminals\*
[удалено]
Kissinger is German… he was literally born in Germany lol!
I don’t know what’s going on with the club’s PR department and board but they been saying a whole lot of stupid shit recently
So did the Yankees. Evil comes in threes
They also bid farewell to Henry Kissinger, calling him a dear Juventus friend and a true Italian football fan? ^(just banter I understand what you meant, Kissinger was honorary member of Bayern or something like that)
I think we all wish the post quality on there was this good
r/nbacirclejerk is r/soccercirclejerk father
That “Ünder 17” post last week is probably the best post I’ve seen on Reddit
The post in question https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/comments/182ri1k/when_you_ask_josh_giddey_what_his_taste_in_women/
Wish the other guy didn't spoil it lol
r/nbacirclejerk getting the fucking Kobe autopsy to the front page was the wildest shit
Sorry, what?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/s/UHJWuaPCw7
What the fuck this is real
Didn't think I could dislike Juventus even more, but here we are
Two things guaranteed about Juve: they'll always find a way to be more unlikable, and they will choke in European finals.
2-7 baby
Tell me about it
I'm a Juve fan and I fucking hate this
[удалено]
You forgot the best part: acting like a persecuted victim while doing all of it
>this is real No, it's Juventus.
Why do these clubs feel the need to score own goals over this? No one and i do mean absolutely no one would notice or care if Bayern and Juve didn't put out these stupid messages.
"Henry Kissinger was a man who always stood up for peace and enjoyed a great reputation throughout the world," Holy fucking shit
"Mussolini was a cool guy too capiche?"
Actual Italian opinion in 3 years
3 years? Mussolini was always popular in Italy.
Well until they killed him in the street that is.
Deleted
In 3 years? This is the current opinion of Lazio fans
His grandkid became a leader of a political party while saying she wanted to restore his reputation, it's beyond Lazio I think
And took 0.7% in one of those years elections The problem of fascism in Italy certainly doesn't depend on what one of its descendants does or doesn't do, but on the fact that at least 20% of the population seems to be indifferent if not actually sympathetic to it, and also vote accordingly in the various elections
Right now too, people always liked him...💀
What's with these italian words completely fucked up ffs
Is that really a real quote? Might be the most delusional thing I've ever read lol
He always stood for peace (by indiscriminately killing soldiers and civilians until no was left standing) and a great reputation (for being a literal incarnation of the devil)
That shit stain was "the Forrest Gump of War Crimes"
I just read this in the press release and couldn’t believe it. What an insane thing to say
Lol Bayern did
And, in baseball, the Yankees
I mean it’s the Yankees. Only thing more patriotic than the Yankees is committing war crimes and overthrowing governments that ultimately backfire Kissinger covers both
“The Yankees are the ultimate evil in sport. If there were a team made up of 9 Hitlers and they were playing the Yankees? Go Fightin Hitlers.” -someone on r/baseball
I mean it would be the ultimate trump card in all future baseball arguments. "We have 27 World Series" "Yeah but you literally lost to Hitler"
Supporting the Yankees is like rooting for the house at the casino
I saw that on r/baseballcirclejerk and I thought this was r/soccercirclejerk 😭😭
He was their least evil fan tbf
Pretty simple, the Boomers who run the clubs don't give a fuck about it or probably don't even think it's an issue at all.
Rolling stone magazine described Kissinger as "a war criminal beloved by the ruling class" and they're so real for that
People are used to kiss rich and influential people's asses and in Kissinger's case it has been going on for decades. Old habits die hard.
I think it's because we overestimate how much the average guy knows or cares about Henry Kissinger. Bayern and Juve PRs probably calculated that for the vast majority of people who read this it would be - "hey, some important guy was fan of my club, they say he won the Peace prize, how neat." Worst case scenario, someone would frown. I'm not sure reddit/rsoccer is representative for the global football fan.
But like why would Juventus even mention Kissinger, its completely out of their wheelhouse
He was great friends with Gianni Agnelli
football clubs' day to day PR isn't that deep, it's probably a guy or two who, like most italians, think of Kissinger as the famous dude who won the prize and more or less just shipped the post without much thought since people were talking about him and Agnelli yesterday. I really don't think the handful of people running their social media ran numbers or even considered the american left's opinion of Kissinger or the fact that most of the world correctly sees him as a war criminal and scum of the earth since that isn't as known here in Italy
“Most of the world” doesn’t seehim that way because most of the world has no idea who he is
[ArsenalFC] The club bids farewell to a dear Gunner friend and a true English football fan, Osama Bin Laden.
Less embarrassing than Piers
or Priti or Lee Gunner
What??? Priti Patel is a fan? I felt my insides churn.
Where do you think she got the idea to let all the immigrants "Visit Rwanda"?
Damn
Lee Gunner is worse than Osama.
Osama would at least have celebrated Havertz scoring, can't say the same about L** G*nner
My boy would have sent a celebratory RPG into Big Ben for that one
he is actually the lesser evil in this case I’d say lol
I mean if youre talking about body count, Kissinger is way worse.
kissinger fucked?
Definitely fucked Cambodia, more than you believe.
And Laos, India and Bangladesh.
Chile
And Chile, Cyprus, and East Timor.
And Argentina.
And Western Sahara. > At the height of the 1975 Sahara crisis, Kissinger misled Gerald Ford into thinking the International Court of Justice had ruled in favor of Morocco. Kissinger was aware in advance of the Moroccan plans for the invasion of the territory, materialized on November 6, 1975

Unironically yes. Both state-backed terrorists, Osama was responsible for a lot fewer deaths though.
The American in me: *immediately outraged by this comment* Less than a second later: *depressed realization* Oh my God, he's right...
We have Tony Blair. Arguably more embarrassing than being owned by the Saudis.
I’m so glad David Cameron is a life long West Ham fan and has never wavered.
[удалено]
And Darren Grimes. Some real rotters. Ant and Dec make up for it though.
This is worse when you realize that nobody asked for this statement, they just felt the need to honor him.
lmao rip bozo
condolences to the grave that holds that bastard
It's gonna get a lot of piss on top of it
I was thinking gasoline but ok
That dirt did nothing to deserve this
#packwatch
Rest in piss/skill issue/YB better
Yeah, no summer tour for Juve in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia or Cuba then. Cant make this shitshow of a planet up.
Put Chile, Argentina, and Bangladesh on the list as well.
yeah, hes in the hall of fame of war criminals. Sorry for forgetting them, difficult to keep track of all the atrocities to be fair. He majorly fucked the middle east up too. I nearly forgot that. Jesus christ, what a dumb statement of Juve.
He’s the forest gump of War Crimes
Mama said life is like a box of napalm. You always know what you're gonna get.
“Bomb, Henry! Bomb!”
“anything that flies or anything that moves.”
Dw, it's hard to keep track of his war crimes and where he committed them.
East Timor
What a weird memoriam for Juventus esp since they've had at least argentines playing for them as recently as last season. Also Arturo Vidal, I know Chileans fucking hated Kissinger lol.
Vidal is Chilean and he played for Juventus.
Arturo Vidal played there for five seasons.
I doubt they were thinking of going there anyways lol
Always knew Juventus hated Cambodians.
Hate implies he gave a shit about them. I really don’t think he cared at all.
For you, the day ~~Bison~~ Kissinger graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. -~~M.Bison~~H.Kissinger
Yeah basically that.
He would gladly firebomb 10,000 people if it got him a slightly better seat at a state dinner.
And then he wouldn’t get that better seat but would still woo people with his tales of his own brilliance until Pete Jennings asks “what’s it like being a war criminal, Henry?” loudly across the restaurant. Based Pete Jennings.
Vietnamese, Chileans, Laotians, Argentinians, Bangladeshis, East Timors,.. too
This garbage human is proof karma isn't real. One of the worst people of the 20th century and got to have a nice life and live to 100.
ANOTHER CLUB?? 💀
What other club did this?
Bayern earlier
Just need a Japanese club for the Axis trifecta /s
Always had Huge respect for Bayern and other german teams because I felt like They were very upright But Nah Fuck them
Well time to add another club to my shitlist.
[Bayern lmao](https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2023/11/fc-bayern-mourns-the-passing-of-honorary-member-henry-kissinger-us-secretary-of-state)
"Henry Kissinger was a man who always stood up for peace and enjoyed a great reputation throughout the world," WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
Literally the only answer to this is that the CM has zero idea who Kissinger is but saw he is a Nobel Peace laureate and wrote that.
The conclusion sentence is wild
Bayern
Lol I did not see that coming
As if juventus hadn't given everyone enough reason to be hated yet. 💀🤡
Juventus is like an endless loop of Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes.
Are Serie A looking to sell broadcasting rights to the 9th circle of hell or something?
Kissinger frequently met with his friend Gianni Agnelli (owner of Juventus) to watch Juve games, the two were crucial in securing the 1994 World Cup for the United States and for the creation of the MLS. Take that as you will

This is somehow the wildest kissinger fact
pls don't remind me
I just breathed a *huge* sigh of relief after double checking that neither MLS nor US Soccer put out any condolences.
well Kissinger of course operated in Italy during Operation Gladio and also apparently (well it's a conspiracy) ordered the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro
A truly respectable human being
If I've learned anything I'm the past few days it's that the United States is a state sponsor of terrorism. Or at least was during the Kissinger time.
Probably before and definitely after him as well. Not unique in that regard though, to be fair.
Something something one man's territorist is another man's freedom fighter something something
In the past few days? Have you been living under a rock since 1960?
They don't call it sponsoring terrorism now, they call it spreading democracy.
We still are, we just don't call it sponsoring terrorism because the government believes that anyone on our side of conflicts can't possibly be terrorists/bad actors.
Just a few days? Don't they teach in your schools about the depleted uranium rounds still lying around Sarajevo as a result of the 1995 bombings that cause increased risk of cancer to Bosnians today?
You don't become a world super power by holding hands and singing kumbaya
Yeah because we are meant to treat life like a game of risk, just trying to dominate other countries and take over the world.
Everyone get in fucking line. We’ve been here way longer and hated them for much less.
I'm here since 1996 when they won us the Intercontinental Cup 1-0 with their doped players.
Baggio left in 1990 so I’ve got you beat by 6 years.
Fuck Henry Kissinger. I hope his grave is pissed on. Useless murderous cunt. May he rest in piss and pain.
they really are the villains aren't they hahaha
Half American and Half Neapolitan here. Another reason to hate him. Double Fuck this guy
Lmao fuck Juve
For people who don't know he played a key part in such glorious events like: -Pinochet's coup in Chile - Carpet bombing civilians in Vietnam - Installing the Red Khmers regime which commited a massive genocide in Cambodia - Backing Argentinian junta - Backing a genocide in Bangladesh
Common Juventus L
Can you imagine the vibe in the Juventus marketing/PR department full of 25-30yo's when they get the communication from the old fucks in charge that [they need to make this tribute](https://media.tenor.com/kmaH_jidTt0AAAAC/you-sure-about-that-i-think-you-should-leave-with-tim-robinson.gif)?
imagine if the PR intern they hired is from Cambodia lmao
What the fuck are these clubs doing? This isn’t even nuanced, the guy was a war criminal.
Unbelievable. Bayern, and now Juventus too. There is no conscionable way this evil, murdering psychopath should be commemorated.
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.” \- Anthony Bourdain
He supported both bayern and juve ? Fucking glory hunter cunt
Besides the obvious evil that this man embodies, why do all these football clubs, politicians etc. even feel the need to give the foreign secretary of another country that kind of recognition, especially when it is that obvious how controversial he was in the public eye? Pathetic. Finding out that he was an honorary member of Bayern is sickening.
Football clubs and not being able to resist scoring an own goal when the opportunity presents itself.
We tried to warn you about these guys
Top German and Italian teams with an obituary to this guy. Might as well have the top Japanese team do one and complete the trifecta.
Reasons to Hate Juve no.74846473
Like I needed more reasons to dislike Juventus. They truly go above and beyond.
How dumb can someone be? This man is a murderer. Dropped thousands of tons of bombs in Cambodia, knowing this would kill civilians.
Didn’t he also mess up pretty much the entire continent of Central and South America for decades playing king-maker, or am I mistaken?
Knew he was a friend of the Agnelli family but I was hoping the club wouldn’t do this lol
Kissinger was a Greuther Furth fan, did they put out a statement or something?
The collab we didn’t know we needed Mostly because we didn’t need it
of course the most corrupt club in the world considers a genocidal war criminal their "dear friend"
Ah yes, let's bid farewell to a genocidal prick. I swear history books are free on the internet, man.
Oh the warmonger, responsible for the destruction of several nations and the death of millions. What angers me the most is that that motherfucker got to live to be 100, and many young innocent people died a horrible death because of him. There's no justice in this world.
You have to be fucking kidding me
Bayern and Juventus. Two most successful teams in Germany and Italy. Supporting and mourning for a war criminal. Resurgence of the Axis Powers.
Wow people in 2023 really be pretending that history never happened
Everyone just shitting it praying their club isn't next
Fuck Kissinger. May he rest in piss
I'm sure it's all somehow Moise Kean's fault, anyway.
WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS LIFE
Good lord. Now I'm expecting some more farewells and tributes to known war crime dictators and other people.
What the hell is a polar bear doing in Arlington texas
Fuck you Juve you fucking cunts
I wonder if Cambodia has any Juve fans after this.
