Fan protests: German football league “cannot accept game cancellations”. DFL wants to collect one billion euros from a financial investor for a percentage share of the TV revenue.
Fans in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga have been protesting against this for weeks, mostly throwing tennis balls onto the grass. So far, the game has only almost been canceled, as was the case on Friday evening in Hanover. The DFL has “the greatest interest in ensuring that games are not canceled. Because, first of all, that harms the sport."
