Violence in football: Amateurs suffers from the role model of the professionals!

In Göttingen the events overturn on the sports field! Violence and disrespect more and more are spreading, where the focus was on sport. The current Situation in the football stadiums shows worrying tendencies. Again and again there are physical conflicts between players and spectators, while referees distribute yellow and red cards such as confetti.

The Göttingen referees report on an alarming increase in personal punishments this season. The effects are drastic: in the district of Celle, the entire youth game operation was exposed to the U19 to the U19 for two weeks - evidence of the superior willingness to use violence. A particularly scandalous incident occurred during the derby between the 1st SC Göttingen 05 and Eintracht Northeim when a viewer fired a water bottle to a player. And in the 2nd district class, the SCW Göttingen III team no longer dared to get out of the cabin at the start of the game - attacks and threats were omnipresent!

respect? None!

The word "respect" echoes through the stadiums like a mockery. While players and fans call loudly after respect, there is little left of this attitude when it comes to behavior towards the opponents. This disrespect swells to a dangerous social phenomenon that is not only evident on the soccer field. The mental blockade is transferred to the layers of society, where violence often represents the answer to differences.

The source of this brutalization? The Internet and social media! They promote a toxic atmosphere in which one's own opinion is put over everything and the dialogue is caused by a dispute. Sport is no longer just game today, but becomes a reflection of a violent and disrespectful society!
