Dortmund (dpa) - Reinhard Rauball feels the fans are becoming increasingly alienated from football.
«Signs of fatigue were already noticeable beforehand.
Now through Corona they have strengthened again, "said the president of the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund the" Ruhr Nachrichten "(Monday).
According to the former league president, this trend is not only increasing due to the pandemic: “We have to be self-critical enough that the increasing alienation is not exclusively due to corona, but that some developments - also through discussions such as the distribution of TV revenues - Have left traces. "
The 74-year-old lawyer therefore suggested putting football "back in the middle of society".
“Fairness, togetherness, respect, equality of gender, skin color and religion - football has conveyed such values into society for a long time and very well.
These things have to become more recognizable again. "
When asked how Corona will change football, Rauball replied: "As of now, it would be enough for me if football becomes the way it once was.
But we cannot and must not close ourselves off from any further challenges. "
