Politicians love Sunday speeches and things that belong. A red ribbon cut through for the new road, the groundbreaking ceremony in the new industrial area – politicians are blooming. Often this is conjured up “we”, you let praise on everything and everyone pattered down. Also popular to sunbathe in the light of football. Or to pack political issues in football metaphors.
It gets really bad when politicians comment on problems in football: made foreign ashamed as easy. If you want to tell fans how well you know football and his environment – after all, you have also been to the stadium. None of these ladies and none of the gentlemen may have been on the go with the weekend ticket or has been on their way to an away game for hours. The gentlemen also do not know that as a fan you can never move freely, that you are pushed into the shuttle bus, to be led to the stadium in the police kettle. With the sedan into the underground car park and from there with the elevator into the VIP lounge, the football of the fans is not.
It is no surprise that Chancellor Merz gave a speech this week at the election of the DFL board that made you shake your head. Merz said “that what comes from fans must be kept under control”. It was about security at football games. Merz puts all fans under general suspicion, blows into the horn of his law-and-order interior politicians, for whom fan culture is a devil work or worse. It would be better that the Federal Chancellor would take care of the labeling obligation of the federal police or the abolition of the so -called file violent offender. The security in the stadium would be more served than with populist Sunday speeches. The police union should like something like this. Not the fans.
“Sport Free!” From the fan lawyer.
