The officials spend much time picking the lock, while the code is 5001, reference to 50%+1 rule.
Germans standing 💪 against unbridled greed gives me hope. 🇩🇪
They do right to protest prime example of TV rights going too far, is the Premier League, the entire schedule of odds around TV rights
Germans fans when you try to help them 😡😡😡
I see both sides of this, they do need some i jection to not be bullied by pl & it's nice to grow the league, but it can't come at to high a cost jzust to appease americans & japs whilst you go to a game at an odd hour
Why has this channel gone so far downhill? And why did it start getting so much worse after they hired that berk from football daily?
Ich bin aus Deutschland. Beobachtungen:
A) viele Fans sind auch gegen die Ultras. Die allermeisten lassen sich vom Boulevard beeinflussen. Viele sind über die Bedingungen/Auswirkungen nur oberflächlich informiert: Ein Kumpel von mir meinte, er habe beim ersten Protest im Block einige der Schoko-Taler gegessen, da er gar nicht wusste, wofür die gedacht gewesen seien. Nur wenige Medien haben das Problem von Beginn an inhaltlich begleitet (Rasenfunk).
B) Die DFL hat von "roten Linien" geschwätzt, ohne benennen zu können oder zu wollen, was diese tatsächlich umfassen.

Sorry, if i cant translate my thoughts properly. Here a summary:
A) poeple / Fans are divided an partielle disinformed.
B) the "German Football League" (the broadcast icence seller, not DFB!) failed to make conditions of a possible Private Equity Deal transparent.
Greedy rich people
Will have to unsubscribe if you continue to post drivel like this.
i miss the long form video content
RIP Tifo
It f*cking did work!!!
Key word is for now…
I miss the long form video analysis before the rebrand
Well in short: We won!!!!!💪💪
"There's only one country that frightens me – that's the country of Germany. I don't know if you guys are students of history or not, but for those of you who aren't, Germany, in the previous century, they decided to go to war. And who did they choose to go to war with? THE WORLD. So you think that would last about five seconds and the world would win. But it was actually close. Then 30 years pass, and Germany decides to go to war again. And, once again, they choose as their foe… THE WORLD" ~ norm macdonald
German fans want Bayern to dominate the league every season
Todd Boehly's Chelsea had a better transition than Tifo to The Athletic. Bring back Joe Divine!
This is why a German club won't win the UCL in the next 50 years….
Do a video called "Why are Tifo fans so angry at the athletic?"
German Fans are 🐐,
Don't sell themselves for sporting success
Germans are goated
Not in Europe but watch EPL from Asia. Why the rejection of huge funding ???
For my country getting sponsors are good enough, and any TV deal would be a huge boost. DO explain.
This is fairly correct. However, there’s an additional aspect to this:
The German football league (vote) already did a vote about this back in 2023. The majority of clubs voted against allowing investors to purchase tv rights.
However, they then did another, allegedly illegal, vote behind closed doors on the same matter in December 2023. This is what sparked the outrage. Don’t forget that the 50+1 rule is also a legal requirement (if you ignore the disgusting cases of Hoppenheim or red bull) which means club representatives have to vote for what their members want. Allegedly, people like Hannovers Martin Kind (who’s been trying abolish 50+1 and other German essentials for ages in pursuit of greed and more money) voted against their membership base which is illegal.
Such a positive result and it shows that democracy should not be undermined.
We’d rather have less superstars or be less competitive in some Mickey Mouse European competition than losing our football the way we like it. Affordable tickets, standing, accessible ko times, having a beer during the match, supporting your team in a loud and creative manner and mostly not being part of an oil sheikh billionaire pissing contest.
German fans goated for this. We dont care if we cant compete internationally longterm. We only want that the fans can be heard and dont end like english clubs with no rights
Where’s JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie 😪
