The anti-Semitism commission of the Federal Government, Felix Klein, the German Football Association (DFB) has called for more commitment against hostility to the Jews. Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is very widespread on German football fields, Klein said on the Hessischer Rundfunk.
Every week he receives indications of incidents. The association must intervene there. Although there are control bodies, but they did not respond quickly and not clearly enough. "I think the new president of the DFB should make this issue a top priority and the DFB should make better use of the tools it has," said Klein.
In contrast, there was praise for the Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. The Hesse want to grant after anti-Semitic calls in the Europa League match against Racing Strasbourg according to several spectators stadium bans and withdraw the season tickets. "That's just the right signal," Klein said. "Other clubs are not always that clear in Germany."
