Absolutely love that and also how protesting actually solves things in Germany.As some of you might have noticed pretty much every match in the last weeks was interrupted by the fans. Throwing of tennis balls, remote cars with smoke bombs, remote toy planes, banners and loud chanting against the DFL (Deutsche Fussball Liga/German Football League)
Reason for that was that the DFLwanted to find an Investor which the fans wanted to avoid at all cost to avoid shenanigans like cup games getting played in Asia, 50+1 put under threat etc.
Yesterday evening the leagues plans got officially canceled and the protests lead by the Ultras played a huge role.
There was even a public discussion on TV a couple of days ago during prime time where supporters of the deal got pitted against fan representatives and it's fair to say that the fan representatives completely dismantled ex players like Markus Babbel and owners like Martin Kind.
I know this is an unpopular opinion especially on a Man City forum but 50+1 has to stay at all cost and the league has to remain in the hands of the fans.
I bet the first thing that comes to your mind is: So Bayern is going to win the league for the next 20 years in a row. The deal would have most likely increased the gap between the top clubs and the smaller clubs even more.
The common goal amongst fans is to prevent the Bundesliga to become like the PL where the working glass gets outpriced, fan culture dies etc. and not to prevent Bayern from winning the league.
Proper football with proper atmosphere and fans
