Sophia Thomalla would make this sacrifice for a moderation job with Stefan Raab. The Hamburg police reacted, commenting on their official Instagram account: “If you still need a referee: we have experience” The athlete did not know beforehand that she would be named in the clip.

“Most people thought I had been included here - wrong thinking.” Nevertheless, she then called on her followers to support Raab's account.“Without knowing what cause I’m actually supporting here, because Elton wasn’t allowed to tell me what it was about after I contacted him either”
