David Raum Exposes Abusive Instagram Messages After Germany Wins

His post underscores a recurring pattern of online hate directed at RB Leipzig players following recent national-team praise.

Overview

  • Raum shared screenshots of Instagram messages that included an abortion wish and homophobic slurs, with the sender’s visible username shown as “NuR DiE AfD.”
  • He responded by posting the screenshot with the caption “Gute Besserung” alongside a facepalm emoji, choosing a brief public rebuttal over engagement.
  • The abuse followed a strong international window in which he scored against Luxembourg and assisted the winner in Belfast, drawing praise from Julian Nagelsmann as an “emotional leader.”
  • Reports link the episode to earlier cases involving RB Leipzig players, including Benjamin Henrichs, who filed a complaint in 2023, and Lois Openda, who disclosed death threats and racist messages.
  • Coverage notes Raum is 27 years old, captains RB Leipzig, and has roughly 224,000 Instagram followers, with no new police complaint reported in these pieces.
