Not ordinary. Bundesliga fans have said enough and are rebelling in the most curious and loud way in protest against foreign investment. The German League is experiencing an unprecedented ‘fire’ that, day by day, greatly affects the development of the competition.
Yesterday was a new chapter in the battle between Werder Bremen and Cologne at the Rhein Energie Stadion, with angry protests from the stands to the point that toy cars were thrown onto the field and the match had to be stopped.
Matches are delayed, stopped or suspended in the worst case scenario. Without further ado, it happened during the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, where tennis balls and chocolate balls were thrown onto the field.
The controversy comes from afar, as the Deutsche Futball Liga (DFL), the regulatory body of German professional football that includes its first two divisions, is seeking the integration of a private and foreign capital investor to promote the rights on television through an Investment fund. This is something that is widespread in European leagues, but in Germany they do not see it well and it has met with loud opposition from its followers.
The storm intensified when the DFL voted in favor of entering into negotiations to include a private equity investor to advance the television rights. 24 of 36 First and Second clubs gave the green light to this option in the second round in a very close and controversial decision.
The result was constant protests and an image that spread around the world, with objects thrown stopping every game. Stoppages of matches in the 12th minute (the number of fans) spread throughout German football.
The meeting between Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg, of the twenty-first day of the Bundesliga, was stopped for twelve minutes due to protests from fans of Signal Iduna Park who threw chocolate coins and tennis balls on the grass against the arrival of foreign investment in German competition.
