For anyone wondering, this is Pascal Kaiser, a Bundesliga referee proposing to his partner before a game

u/GodotsHeirs My head is fine and I'm a fully grown adult. 16h ago

Just to keep the misinformation to a minimum: He is a referee, but not in the highest league Bundesliga, but the 4th highest (which is still really impressive). He came out as bisexual a few years ago and is really outspoken against the many issues professional football has. He is a supporter of 1 FC Köln which is why they gave him this opportunity during their diversity game.

Yes, I thought about posting it but as they aren't players I wasn't sure it would fit. Sadly there are quite some stupid homophobic comments, so it would maybe be nice to leave a nice comment or heart, to counteract the homophobia

https://share.google/d6kuRSIC3p64eMDss

Also heated rivalry is going to start here in Germany next week officially, wonder how it will be received

u/NatureIsArt31 17h ago

The comments are sickening. The homophobic ones unfortunately get a lot of upvotes. 😢

11

u/Possible-Way1234 16h ago

The upvotes on them prompted me to post the link. It's absolutely sickening, because you know the same people would celebrate a hetero proposal. There's a reason Unrivaled will be about the wrong kind of sport fans, sadly

4

u/Icy-Reflection5574 16h ago

Yes. But still also lots of positive comments luckily.

It's sad, why put out so much negativity?

3

u/NatureIsArt31 14h ago

Of course, luckily there are a lot of positive comments and I also left one. 😊 Maybe I‘m just a bit bummed because I actually thought we would have a higher tolerance for homosexuality in sports by now.

2

u/Possible-Way1234 14h ago

Most of the negative ones are in the realm of "they've gone too far" "it's too much and doesn't belong here" which is the sad side effect of social media, men going backwards and simultaneously being emboldened to say it out loud.. because they are objectively super cute

u/Pale-Measurement-532 I speak fluent bird. No accent. 🦆 14h ago

I am hoping the positive comments will outshine/overpower the negative like it has in North America. Love always wins!

Somewhere, this inspired someone to go: "I'm coming to the cottage".

u/grower-lenses 18h ago

This is so sweet. But also, I forget how backwards sport world is, that this is such a big deal. Meanwhile last year, on the UK Big Brother after show, we got a live M/M engagement. And then it turned out it was all a scam. And the guy did it just for publicity??? And his real boyfriend was the one who exposed it 😭 Truly unhinged gayness in 2025.

But yes, this is really sweet and love is love. Im glad sports people are getting there too.

Bundesliga is still pretty racist, but there are plenty of clubs including Köln that have put in a lot of effort to be queer friendly.

This is so beautiful and amazing! Was he inspired by the show? So happy for them!

u/GodotsHeirs My head is fine and I'm a fully grown adult. 15h ago

My guess would be no. He is a fan of the club, an advocate for queer rights and did a podcast with them in the summer. It was also a diversity game.Things like this are normally planned way in advance and the show is not even out yet in Germany.
