Mesut Ozil: Arsenal Midfielder Quits Germany over 'Racism and Disrespect'
BBC - Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has quit international football, citing the "racism and disrespect" he has faced in Germany over his Turkish roots.
The 29-year-old was criticised after being photographed with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a London event in May.
He says he received hate mail and threats and was being blamed for Germany's disappointing World Cup.
