At the start of the Bundesliga, the boards of directors of Bayern and FC Schalke sat in the stands without any distance or mask.
That caused a lot of criticism - now the Bavarian Minister of Health has also contacted her.
The
Bayern Munich
won the first Bundesliga game of the season against Schalke 04 with 8: 0.
The behavior of the
boards of
both clubs in the stands caused criticism.
The bosses sat next to each other without any distance or mask, which caused a lot of criticism - now the
Bavarian Minister of Health also
intervened.
Update from September 20, 2020: From a
sporting point of view, the
Bundesliga start
for
Bayern was made
to measure.
At the end of the 8-0 success against discouraged Schalke players, they were almost willing to ask the question whether the result could not have been in double digits.
But even if
fans were still not allowed
at the start of the season due to the sharp
rise in corona infections
in Bavaria, there was trouble in the stands.
The boards of both clubs took care of this.
During the lively kick, the bosses sat next to each other like chickens on the pole
without any distance or
face mask and did not seem to care about the role model they were supposed to demonstrate.
This caused a lot of criticism from fans and the media
(see first report below)
.
But that's not all.
Now there is also
headwind from politics
in the person of
Melanie Huml
, the Bavarian Minister of Health.
This also warned that it was "wiser if they hadn't sat so close together - because there was enough space".
FCB board member
Oliver Kahn
said after the game that this seating arrangement was based on the Bavarian regulation.
Kahn was alluding to the rule that in public facilities such as restaurants ten people are allowed to sit next to each other in a group.
However, this regulation does not apply to
nationwide sporting events
, as Huml emphasized: "According to the ordinance, a minimum distance of 1.5 meters is required for nationwide sporting events".
While up to
10,000 spectators
are
already
allowed
in other stadiums in Germany
, Bayern must continue to play in front of empty stands.
If this is to be changed as soon as possible, the board members should also live up to their role model function.
"In general, the following applies to Corona anyway: keep your distance where possible.
Put on masks where necessary, ”explained Huml.
During the corona pandemic, Uli Hoeneß, of all people, praised the CSU and Huml for their approach and handling of corona.

FC Bayern: Executive floor without a gap in the stands - Oliver Kahn comments
During the game, commentator
Claudia Neumann was
amazed at
the sight and questioned the behavior of the football officials.
After the game,
ZDF presenter Katrin Müller-Hohenstein
also checked
with
FCB board member Oliver Kahn
.
“There were no specifications because we adhered to the Bavarian ordinance that allows this,” he replied.
In Bavaria, ten people are allowed to meet in public without any distance or face-to-face protection.
Just as many bosses sat together.
Criticism on Twitter of the Bayern board: "It stunned me"
“
Bayern's
positional play
on the pitch: exemplary.
Bayern's positional game next to the pitch: irresponsible, "commented a user on Twitter and continued to rail:" It stunned me.
You are playing
an internationally and nationally broadcast ghost game
in a city that is really
struggling
with
infections
and do you think it is a good idea not to keep your distance in an otherwise empty stadium and to forego MNS? "

Another writes: "The fact that all the officials
are sitting
there without any
distance
is pretty ridiculous, and unfortunately very symbolic of the development of football."
“The
distance rules in the stadiums that were explicitly mentioned yesterday
by the
DFL
apparently do not apply to the
FC Bayern official
gallery
.
This is a questionable signal, especially in view of the situation in Munich, ”said Spox editor-in-chief Martin Volkmar on Twitter.
