Fan -Klat in Essen: Germany displayed the German caller!

What a scandal in the 3. League! During a minute's silence for the victims of the terrible attack in Magdeburg, the play of Rot-Weiss Essen against the U23 of VfB Stuttgart occurred an outrageous incident. A single fan called the Völkische slogan "Germany the Germans" loudly during the minute's silence, which immediately caused an outcry among the other fans. The angry followers reacted quickly and drowned out the culprit with "Nazis out" calls. The Rot-Weiss Essen association acted directly and the man was brought to the stadium guard, such as t-online reported.

It was a memorable afternoon where not only the action in the stands caused a conversation, but also the result on the field. Despite two tours against Stuttgart II, Rot-Weiss Essen could only achieve a 2-2 draw. A result that makes Esseners remain on a relegation zone (18th), another setback in this difficult season. But the excitement about what happened during the minute's silence overshadowed the sporting events. RWE's tour of the association underlined the seriousness of the Situation and made it clear that the person in question not only received a house ban, but also a complaint about sedition.

reactions of fans and consequences

Imagine that: A man roars right slogans into a holy silence. But the fans of Essen's west stands impressively showed that such statements remain not unchallenged. They loudly followed the "Nazi-Raus" calls, which was taken up in no time from the entire stadium. This showed the collective determination of the Essen supporters to distance themselves from such ideas. A positive sign after they had only noticed negatively on the previous game on another game, such as Kicker reported.

Not only the fans, the police themselves also became active. A spokesman for the authority confirmed that investigations have now been started to check whether criminal proceedings against the man are initiated. This shows that such incidents in German stadiums are not taken lightly. The reactions of the fans, the association and the police clarify that agitation and extremism have no place in football. One can only hope that these clear messages will also have an effect on other stages and beyond.
