Bayern heavily fines Ribery for golden steak incident

Bayern Munich executive Hasan Salihamidzic said the football star used language “a role model and Bayern player must never use.” Ribery had posted a foul-mouthed response to criticism he received for having a golden steak.

Bayern Munich has handed French footballer Franck Ribery a “heavy fine” for his profanity-laced response after he was criticized for eating a golden-coated steak, club sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said on Sunday.

“He used words we cannot accept as Bayern Munich and which Franck as a role model and Bayern player must never use,” Salihamidzic said at the club’s training camp in Doha, Qatar.

Ribery, 35, posted three messages on his social media accounts in response to criticized he received for having a golden steak at a restaurant owned by Turkish restaurateur Salt Bae. Ribery had posted a video of Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gokce, cutting the steak, which the French footballer salted in Gokce’s signature fashion.
