Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was fired from his role on the Hertha Berlin supervisory board after former Germany international Dennis Aogo posted a racist message he'd received from Lehmann on social media.
ESPN's Stephan Uersfeld reported Lehmann sent Aogo a WhatsApp message that read "Is Dennis actually your Quotenschwarzer?" which is German for "token Black person."
Lehmann apologized in a statement posted to Twitter in which he credited Aogo as a "former international who has a lot of expertise, a great aura and helps Sky to strong ratings." The former Hamburg left back now works as a commentator for Sky Germany.
