football is linked to me closely with emotional roller coaster rides. It is to turn away from the complicated everyday life is happen in the world, the watch coming Together of people from different social groups, to do ultimately the same: 22 men or women chasing a Ball.
football is to be understood in its basic features and rules are simple, although it can be totally complex. Nevertheless, it is a Sport that is for the majority of the population in this country is so palpable that it overshadows almost everything else.

For me, the distraction of football also. When I look as a Fan of a game, I forget the problems of the world and in my personal everyday life for a minimum of 90 minutes. Especially now that Corona has the Sport and public life, paralyzed, I am struck but how much of this romanticized view hide can, what football really is: an industry with a predominantly economic interests.
Rummenigge, Watzke, DFL: money versus health
This is obvious in the case of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as Chairman of the Board of the largest German football club speaks openly about money as a factor is so important that you weigh the health factors of it.
as a reminder: The 26. Round of 64-Year-old would have without public transport, so that a further instalment of the TV money to the League have been paid. Most of the experts had recommended at the time, the football for an indefinite period of time to stomp on. Getty images Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (li.) FC Bayern and BVB Boss Hans-Joachim Watzke
Hans-Joachim Watzke, CEO of rivals from Dortmund, was first, even within the industry a little in solidarity. “Honestly, we are also competitors. And since you have to balance that very carefully with each other, what is competitive and what is not competition at all,” he said in March, in the sports show. Two weeks later, Watzke a, drew great criticism and confessed that it would help the rivals Schalke somehow.
The image that gave the DFL was in the first days of the crisis, not very confidently. Only when the external pressure was large enough, and the first person in charge of the club with the Virus infected, the Association to force action. It is mediated as a result, the image that football was more important than large parts of public life.
football is not alone – see Red Bull and Adidas
at the same time but it should be mentioned that there are quite players, players and clubs, the work is exemplary. The whole business is much too large to be able to as a blanket statement, and it all is not basically reprehensible, what is happening right now in football.
The more money is in the game, the less ethics, morality, and social responsibility count. This may be somewhere, perhaps even understandable, but not for those whose existence is threatened much more acute than that of many sports clubs. imago sportfotodienst service The transfer market is threatening a real Revolution,

I Also benefit from the football and overheight him
But back to the football: As the long-overdue decision to pause the League, finally was taken, I tried to bridge the football-free time with the historic encounters. I wanted to compensate for the loss of the distraction. Alone: do not want to Succeed me.
Instead, the behaviour of the person responsible came to the fore for me. Or, to say it with Rummenigges wording: The ugly Face of football showed. Capitalist, a little moral and self-überhöhend. imago/ULMER press picture Agency, Bastian Schweinsteiger, at his farewell game from the FC Bayern in August, 2018
This is without a doubt a harsh judgment of someone who hangs himself on the needle of the football. After all, I am writing this and many other texts and earn money. I belong as a writer to those who benefit from the reach of this sport.
As a Fan, I’m part of those who contribute to the elevation of football, it has almost religious in trains, when I philosophize, for example, the “football God” Bastian Schweinsteiger. will contribute to how football is
on the one Hand, this is good. Because it leads to all of the above-described features, including the short-term distraction from everyday worries. But on the other hand, we as consumers are the ones that contribute at least a small part to the fact that the football is so, as he has shown now in the crisis to a large extent.
We do all of this, by separating the action on and off the pitch clear of each other. Corruption, transactions with Qatar, price increases, utopian transfer fees, dismembered game days, several providers for the Transfer, and much more – all of which outraged us, perhaps often enough, but never enough. And if the Ball rolls out, or we sit again in the stadium or in front of the TV. imago images/Ulmer Of FC Bayern in China, many of the Fans
fortunately, there are people that Rummenigge threw originally with his birth-a statement flat-rate price in a pot: The fan scenes in Germany are a crucial reason for this is that there is much we can still agree just as with our Conscience, and it is even possible that we let us from the action on the pitch to distract.
they are also often the ones who ensure that football is part of its overall responsibility to society is at least a fraction of justice. Also, the current crisis shows.
Corona-the crisis will not change the football
I am convinced that the Corona discharge time will not change the football. He will also have to look after that first and be money.
Probably, he will even search for loopholes, even during the crisis its games unsubscribe. He is constantly in the foreground and forget that he is only a secondary matter. It is, but it is becoming increasingly clear.

Me and my relationship to football, this is the time to change again. Only in what Form? For me, this is not yet possible to predict. Maybe the distance I have built up in the past few years, to the associations and even to my favorite club gradually is even greater.
in the end I hang, but too much of this needle, to draw a consequence, the would be after such an article, of course. But while the world is still discussing about what actually are the consequences for football as a economy branch, I notice, already, how my relationship with the football changed.
