German soccer club defends pulling out of buying Israeli player Shon Weissman over his Gaza posts
DÜSSELDORF, Germany (AP) — The chairman of Fortuna Düsseldorf has defended the German soccer club's decision to pull out of signing Israeli player Shon Weissman after fan backlash over his contentious social media posts about Gaza, and said it's 'absurd' to accuse the second-division team of antisemitism. Düsseldorf announced Tuesday that it would not sign Weissman from Spanish team Granada despite having been in advanced negotiations. Fans had opposed the planned signing of the 29-year-old Weissman because of his social media posts expressing support for Israel's conduct in Gaza following the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Weissman's Instagram account was set to 'private' on Saturday. In the social media post on Tuesday announcing the decision, the club did not say why it had called off the transfer. But Fortuna issued a statement on Friday saying Weissman's 'statements on social media and the subsequent handling of them were not consistent with our values.' Chairman Klaus Allofs defended the club's decision before the team's match against Hannover on Saturday, but acknowledged that a faster process to reach the decision would have been preferable. 'I wouldn't say it was a mistake. We tried to sign a player and I think that's legitimate,' Allofs said. 'It's also part of our values, that we don't limit ourselves with prejudices and rule things out from the start.' Allofs said the club deliberately waited to consult with Jewish community members in Düsseldorf before deciding against the signing. Asked about accusations of antisemitism, Allofs said: 'It's absurd, to put it bluntly." Israel's air and ground campaign has killed tens of thousands of people in Gaza, displaced most of the population, destroyed vast areas and pushed the territory toward famine. Hamas-led militants triggered the war when they stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 251 people. Shortly after those attacks, Weissman sat out Granada's Spanish league game at Osasuna over security concerns. Authorities had been worried about a potentially hostile atmosphere created by Osasuna supporters angered by Weissman's social media posts. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

Initial reaction from U's boss after opening day defeat
GARY Rowett felt his Oxford United side were 'a little off it' aside from the final 20 minutes in their Sky Bet Championship opener at home against Portsmouth. The U's were beaten 1-0 in their first game of the season, with the only goal coming seven minutes before half-time. A sloppy back pass from Cameron Brannagan allowed Colby Bishop to get in ahead of Michal Helik, however Jamie Cumming saved well from the Pompey striker. The loose ball though fell nicely for Adrian Segecic, who finished neatly with a first-time effort. United head coach Rowett said: 'It was a physical encounter which we knew against a Portsmouth side who are good at what they do. They're quite a physical side. We have our own level of physicality as well, so there are certainly no complaints with that. 'If you looked at the game, probably for most of the first half and a little bit of the second half, I just felt we were a little off it. 'We just couldn't quite connect possession together well enough. We had some moments and couldn't quite move quickly enough to not allow them some moments in the final third. 'I felt as though we allowed them to dictate some of those moments and then I thought for the last 20 minutes was exactly what you'd hope from the first 70 minutes, and we had a little bit more edge about us and a little bit more quality, some great balls in the box and some good shots. 'We maybe should've hit the target on a few more, but we've had lots more shots than them, and a lot more moments in that last 20 minutes, and really should punish one of those. '[Nicolas] Schmid makes two or three very good saves, and of course Jamie [Cumming] made one for us in the first half, but certainly I think that last 20 minutes, we deserved something out of the game, but we didn't get anything.' Rowett added: 'It's one mistake that's the main factor in the game because other than that, I felt as though Portsmouth certainly edged the share of the game without really causing lots and lots of problems. 'They've had a couple of moments in the first portion of the game, but one mistake gives them that little bit of impetus and gives them something to hold onto and defend for the last 20 minutes. 'I thought they defended well, I thought the keeper steps up and makes good saves when you need to him, and I thought the centre halves headed the ball out the box when they needed them to. 'Like I said, certainly the last period was encouraging. We know we've got players in there that have probably trained three or four days. We know we've got lots of key players out.'
