As a child he wanted to become a sports commentator. “I love politics, but only sport makes my eyes shine,” says “Krone” columnist and top political scientist Peter Filzmaier. The 56-year-old is now making a boyhood dream come true and will write regularly in the Red Bulletin from Tuesday. Before that, he reveals why we love athletes, why Messi is better than Ronaldo, why he doesn’t believe in a Rapid championship title in the near future and why no one can come close to basketball legend Michael Jordan.
“Kron”: Mr. Filzmaier, why do athletes find their way into people’s hearts more easily than politicians when they are both involved in the country?Peter Filzmaier: Athletes have greater credibility; they succeed in conveying this sense of unity.

Athletes are the last professional group that has managed to maintain a positive image in a polarizing time.
