“Shut up”: Minute of silence during international match was restored by heckler. The heckling is celebrated on social media.
Wednesday was completely dominated by the terrible events in Halle . During the international match between Germany and Argentina there was also a minute's silence before the game, which was interrupted and only continued after a "shut up" was said.
The minute's silence was held in silent memory of the victims in Halle an der Saale. But this minute wasn't all that quiet; one person in the stadium broke the silence.

As can clearly be heard in the TV broadcast, a previously unknown person sang the German national anthem. A few seconds later, however, he is interrupted with the interjection: “Shut up.”
It may sound vulgar, but when the minute's silence in memory of the victims of #Halle before the #GERARG was interrupted by the singing of the German national anthem by an incorrigible fan, "shut up" from another fan was a good reaction. pic.twitter.com/0VcuCQQkVF

This heckling was not only well received by the spectators and players, but also generated numerous reactions on social media. Here especially on Twitter !
The reactions online
It's not just that the term is now trendy, many people are saying that exactly this specificity was the right announcement.
Nazi: *sings Germany anthem during minute's silence for #Halle victims*
A fan: *screams 'Shut up'
Gnabry thinks to himself: *exactly like that!*Good and important reaction from everyone involved. #NazisRaus #GERARG pic.twitter.com/X06QWbDGXD

An overly friendly “I find it extremely inappropriate to sing the German national anthem during a minute's silence for the victims of an anti-Semitic attack and would strongly support it if you refrained from doing so!” would have been inappropriate.
In Germany we don't say “I find it extremely inappropriate to sing the German national anthem during a minute's silence for the victims of an anti-Semitic attack and I would strongly recommend that you refrain from doing so!”,
we say “Shut up!”.And it's great.

Since the game ended in a draw anyway, according to some social media users, the Man of the Match cannot be found ON the pitch, but in the stands.
The fan who shouted “Shut up” should be named Man of the Match.
Sorry, Serge. Sorry, Kai. #GERARG #FUMSLIVE

And viewed from a little distance, this energetic interjection was encouraging again. Crazy, but yeah.
A well-placed “Shut up!” can brighten up even the dreariest day!

Really Ruhrpott.
“Gezz shut up!!” The most important words from the international match in Dortmund.

The specific and energetic interjection can also be classified as trend-setting, as was the case in the following tweet, in which the wish was expressed that German politics and law enforcement authorities would take their cue from it.

In this respect, “shut up” is a certain form of defensiveness on a meta level.
This “shut up” against Nazis has finally been implemented radically by German politicians and the law enforcement authorities with the full force of a defensive state.
The fact that Jews in Germany have to fear for their lives is a shame!— Gert Postel (@PostelGert) October 10, 2019
