Fans uprising - do investors break football? Guests: Martin Kind, Kevin Kühnert, Ariane Hingst and much more.

tennis instead of football-fan protests threaten games of the 1st and 2nd league

In the current issue of "Hart but fair", moderator Louis Klamroth discusses the topic "Uprising of the fans - do investors break football?". The guests include Martin Kind (Managing Director Hannover 96 Management GmbH), Kevin Kühnert (SPD General Secretary), Ariane Hingst (multiple world and European champion, Managing Director Sport FC Viktoria Berlin) and Markus Babbel (former football professional etc. FC Bayern and FC Liverpool, European Champion 1996).

The discussion aims to illuminate the possible effects of billions in investors on professional football. Fans are increasingly on the barricades and protest against the commercialization of sport. In some leagues, games are even shortly before the demolition.

in Berlin there are also protests from fans against the investor of the local association. This tries to influence the club policy and to achieve an increased focus on commercial issues. The fans fear that this will be at the expense of the traditional club culture and sport.

Historically, there have always been conflicts between fans and investors. A particularly well -known example is the takeover of the Chelsea FC by the Russian billionaire Roman Abramowitsch in 2003. After the investor's entry, large sums were invested in the club, which led to sporting success, but also changed the identification of the fans with the association.

In order to further deepen the discussion, other areas of football are also considered in the program. How can men's football learn from women's football? Are leagues with unconventional rules, such as the Baller League and the Icon League, the future?
