The person in charge of the FC Bayern Munich. wide shot over the goal, says Stefan Nestler, feels a little reminiscent of the performances of Donald Trumps are with your media.
“It is an important day for FC Bayern,” said Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in the tone of voice of the Federal President. You will be in the future, “disrespectful, derisive, outrageous” criticism of the media players of the FC Bayern don’t like them, and, if necessary, the courts turn on. Rummenigge cited even article 1 of the basic law. The securitised inviolable Dignity of the human person, the Bayern Chairman, was not true, apparently, for football players. In the end, this is now.
To an affair of state explains
That Managers of football clubs against your opinion, unjustified or excessive criticism of the media for the military and their employees, is not uncommon and also legitimate. However, the General settlement of Rummenigge, Bayern President Uli Hoeness and Director of sport Hasan Salihamidzic of this Friday went far beyond that. The criticism of the so Hoeness literally, “the most important club in Germany,” was, in a sense, declared a state affair. Na Prost meal, if the school makes.
Insulted Liver Sausage

“Is it?” These words Rummenigges you can give the high lords of Bayern actually. The record champion has not won four games in the series, two weeks ago a home game with 0:3 lost. This has not happened for a very long time. The word “crisis” has indeed justified. And it is the right and also the duty of the media to not only report, but to also investigate the causes and to put the Finger in the wounds. Instead of this, to endure, to behave Rummenigge, Hoeness and Salihamidzic as insulted liver sausage and packaging the Whole thing as if they were the activists of human rights. Hoeness referred to in the press as a “great Democrat”. As such, he should know what freedom of the press means. This appearance of the Bavarian giants was just embarrassing.
A bit like Trump
If Rummenigge complained that continuously “would spread false facts” (a contradiction in itself) when he rants about the “naughtiness in Germany”, that the media only between consultants and publishers “dealt” will, then he almost sounds a bit like Donald Trump. Uli Hoeness even more: he Just has to have branded the criticism of the media as “disrespectful” and “disgusting”,” as he accuses the Paris St. Germain sold a Spaniard, Juan Bernat, in the Champions League game in Seville “shit” to be played. In the case of Mesut Özil, admits Hoeness on demand, he sold out, perhaps in the choice of words, as if he had özil’s football shirt called the game “Dirt”: “I’d rather crap.” We learn that The Dignity of man is inviolable – as long as he is a Bayern player.

“We do not accept disrespectful reporting”
FCB press officer Dieter Nickles eventually finished the event quite abruptly with the words: “We decide the question round, otherwise it goes into too much Detail.” All it actually says, as the Bayern officials freedom of the press to interpret.
