Luke Littler has repeatedly complained about his treatment from German darts crowds, saying that German fans seem to dislike English players and that he has been booed and jeered at multiple events in Germany. He has suggested this is “because I’m English” and even talked about avoiding or boycotting events in Germany after some especially hostile nights.

What he actually said about Germany

  • After being booed in Berlin and other German venues, Littler said that “the Germans mustn’t like us English,” referring to how he and fellow Englishman Luke Humphries were targeted by sections of the crowd.
  • He described having “a little head loss moment” on stage in Germany and said he “didn’t get” why he was being booed from the moment he walked on.
  • In another interview-style clip circulating online, he framed the reaction as happening “because I’m English,” linking the hostile atmosphere specifically to his nationality.

Context: boos, abuse and ‘boycott’ talk

  • Littler has been booed in several German events, including Premier League nights in Berlin, European Tour events in Hildesheim and other tournaments where he said the crowd turned on him even while he was leading matches.
  • After one bad experience in Munich and further abuse at the World Cup, he indicated he did not want to play in Germany for a while and talked about staying away from German events until a later European tournament in Dortmund.
  • Those comments led to headlines and forum debates about him “boycotting” Germany, although reports later noted that he has gone back or plans to return for major events despite his frustrations.

How people reacted

  • Some darts fans and pundits have been sympathetic, arguing that constant booing of a young world champion crosses a line and that he deserves more respect from sections of the German crowd.
  • Others think his remarks about Germans not liking the English and his talk of staying away sound a bit harsh or emotional, pointing out that hostile crowds are part of elite sport and that not all German fans behave that way.

TL;DR: When people ask “what did Luke Littler say about Germany?” they’re usually referring to his claim that German darts crowds “mustn’t like us English” and that he gets booed “because I’m English,” which has led him to consider skipping or limiting events in Germany after several hostile nights on stage.
