The insults of the FCB Ultras against TSG patron Dietmar Hopp went too far and caused a historical scandal. Now they provide an explanation.
- FC Bayern fans * caused a historic scandal in Sinsheim.
- They insulted Hoffenheim maker Dietmar Hopp for the worst.
- They explain the shame calls in a statement.
Munich - Ultras from Mönchengladbach, Dortmund, Cologne and Munich have shot at Dietmar Hopp . Bottomless insults against the patron of TSG Hoffenheim resound from the curves, sometimes even death threats. The FCB supporters took it to the top in their away game in Sinsheim, caused two interruptions and finally a player strike never seen before.
Bayern ultras explain their insults: even after that, you hardly understand them
For many it is absolutely incomprehensible why some soccer fans behave in this way. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was particularly shocked and now wants to take a crackdown. The Bayern Ultras now provided an explanation from their point of view on their website. But after that you don't really understand any more.
FC Bayern: Ultras defend bad foul language after scandal against Hoffenheim
"We used the word" son of a bitch "in a banner today. This is not normally our language, but would not be worth mentioning per se, "they begin with the defense of a violent swear word." The word only became a big issue as a polemical way of criticizing the Hoffenheim model with, among other things, this word and whose protagonist Dietmar Hopp was practiced. "
What should Dietmar Hopp have done? Chaots make adventurous accusations
They also make confused allegations that Dietmar Hopp deliberately caused pain to supporters of BVB with background noises and thus "instigated a private war with various fan scenes."
FC Bayern: fans show solidarity with BVB supporters - the opponent is the DFB
The next paragraph at least gives an idea of why the ultra-scenes of various clubs are currently causing such escalations . The FCB-Ultras denounce the penalty against the fans of BVB *, which prohibits them from visiting away games in Sinsheim for three years. "With this, the DFB has broken its word to refrain from collective penalties in the future", they write, "even if the punishment does not concern us and the issue of hopp is not so relevant to us, we see this as an attack on fan rights in general. It is an affront to us that we cannot leave unanswered. "
FCB ultras show no regrets: it seems they don't know what they're doing
Regret for a bottomless choice of words remains in the rest of the explanation. "There was no alternative to this ", the strange argument, "because this is the only way to get the necessary attention."
They made the headlines, no question. Evil insults and death threats against a person should also be an absolute no-go . Shockingly, the creators of the suedkurve-muenchen.org website see it quite differently: “If you want to stop or interrupt football games in the future when such insults are expressed in the grandstand, you will no longer be able to play a game over 90 minutes . The interruption today was just excessive and absurd . "
So they do not express a word of apology and promise no improvement : "Football remains dirty - fans remain rebellious - Against collective punishments - F *** dich DFB!"
