Schweinsteiger rejects racism claims on 'African football' remark

Ex-German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger denied claims that his comments on African football were racist, saying he was only analysing a style of play. "I ​was talking about football, not people...I certainly did not intend to offend anyone," he said. Ivory Coast coach had earlier said Schweinsteiger's remarks describing African football as "wild" and "unorthodox" could be considered racist.
