For everyone asking.... The fans aren't protesting against Dietmar Hopp, they're peotesting against what he stands for. The fans want the 50+1 rule to stay (with good reason) They don't want the Bundesliga to become the next Premier League
I implore all the German football fans to continue with their protests. Don't let traditions that protect supporters fade out so easily. I applaud their efforts. The players are seemingly suffering as innocent parties, but it is a necessary concession. I respect these protests a lot. It shows that the German football fans care about their rights and the rights of other supporters of rival teams. Admirable.
Yes but there are better ways of protesting, rather than calling him a son of a wh*re, violating the DFB etc.. the banners are very inappropriate and shouldn't be condemned which is why they arent being condemned. There are better ways to protest than this

Hopp is breaking the german football traditions alongside a few others. and the measures taken against the supporters that are protesting them are harsher than anything else. like everyone mentioned in the comments but against racism games never get stopped. i guess another way of protesting would be to not show up at all but not sure that would be effective.
remember all the millions of men who spent their hard earned wages to build the game of football throughout the 1800-1900s. They all enjoyed the terracing culture and the little bit of freedom on a Saturday afternoon. Billionaires came late to the party and want to change it to suit themselves.
The ref has rules he has to follow. In the Bundesliga, there's a new rule that if something like this happens the game has to stop. It's dumb rule, but a rule is a rule
My God the reaction to this and yesterday's scene is unbelievable. Racism doesn't get anywhere near the same shocked reaction. Bin Hopp/ Bin Racism. We are one.
There wasn't this shock reaction when there have been very insultive chants of thousands of people in stadiums against Timo Werner and Mario Gomez over the course of many months at Bundesliga matches. The 'son of wh*re' chants over many months.
ESPN FC hasn't even uploaded a video where they talk about this incident yet. If it would have been racism all the international news stations would be talking about it after a few minutes of the incident.
Also I do think that a threat on someone's life by hundreds of people is a much bigger deal than monkey noises made by a one to 5 members of the audience.
Why? Because he made his billions in an honest way, bought the club by the books and invests millions in his region through charity? All these football supporters are victims and he's the boogeyman right?
BT SPORT, PLEASE PUT THE CONTEXT WITHIN THE VIDEO. HOPP IS THE VILLAIN HERE NOT THE FANS. Games should be stopped for incidents of racism and prejudice not a billionaire who thinks he's the exception to the rule. Right response for the wrong cause. It's embarrassing frankly.
Nope, the Fans are the Villains. Hopp is a normal Fan, who supports his Hometown-Club. And in Germany Football Clubs dont have a Chance of to success if they dont have Millions or Billions Euros. And as a Fan who wants that his Club has success he spent some of his Money to the Club. But some Fans dont understand this and starting to insult Hopp. And this is illegal.
@Holy Potatoe When racism happens in football,. especially in Western Europe it is generally 1-2 people which is an isolated incident and a matter for the police not the Football Association. If fans were unfurling banners with racial slurs on them then that is a matter for the Football Association to get involved. There is a pretty big difference.
Dietmar Hopp and the DFB tries to break the relation between the teams and their supporters. Players and managers are forced trying to stop the absolutelly normal protests of their own supporters. So damn stupid. I'd like to know how many millions Hopp paid the DFB to enforce this rule of match cancelling.
For those that are not aware Bundesliga has de 50+1 rule which means that the members of the club have to own more than 50% of the club and the hoffenheim owner owns 96%of the club that's it
nothing wrong with this protest.. the powerful elite shouldnt be allowed to just buy there way into the game and then use the same power to stop protests.
Dergom Dergomsson your right about that but here is a point people choose to ignore in their bogus self righteous crusade, Bayern is about 75% fan owned and the rest is private investor(s) yet Bayern is one of few clubs who generate millions upon millions yet all that money goes into the investors pockets while the fan owned majority receive peanuts
Im definetely for the 50+1 ownership rule, or as we have in Sweden 51% rule, which means the fans owns the majority. Hopp is clearly a threat against this reasoning of ownership. He should definitely feel the reaction of the fans. The fans, those who always standby their club. Owners come and go. I rather have passion and no profits when it comes to football.
bedde bedde Passion is not enough.Passion doesnt pay the plauers who work hard.Those 'greedy' owners invest money which make european clubs popular in my country
It’s crazy that they are taking all these serious steps over a sign about a business man but then everyone is like “why would we do this when racists start yelling at players?”

Racism in football: Nothing happens Fans protest against a billionaire who breaks the rules while the DFB just looks on: Match is stopped and fans are condemned
Yes, they did take down the banners. Bit nonetheless the referee told the players to leave the field and to stay off the field for like 8 minutes...

In the Bundesliga most of the clubs are run by the fans, however Hopp is the owner of SAP, a billionaire and completely owns Hoffenheim, sponsor everything.
Most clubs in Germany are owned by the fans, there are like a couple of clubs owned by individuals, hopp is one of those, supporters fear more clubs will be bought out thus leaving fans out of the loop, they fear price rise and decisions being made for profit rather than the well being of the club and its fans.
@@dsintel6652 - Guess that's maybe why the Union fans have decided on copying thjs protest at a games vs Wolfsburg then given they are owned by Volkswagen. (iirc the other exception to the fan owned rule in Bundesliga is Bayer Leverkeusen)
Openly racism occurring in football : football association - it's part of the game Fans protesting against the destruction of German football heritage :football association - end of the world. German fans should stop appearing at the games and leave the stadiums empty till they fix this mess and breaking of 50+1 rule.
RazBaybee basically protesting against the ignorant owners, some of these banners say “football is for the fans not the billionaires” pretty much they are protesting against modern football which is just money money money and no real feeling towards the fanbase but more of buisness/investment oppurtunity
i understand they are protesting the exemption from the 50+1 rule, but I dunno why they're targetting Hopp. Not that I've heard too much about him but he sounds a lot like Dave Whelan at Wigan, makes a tonne of money and puts it back into his local team. I'd do the same if i were him.
@@Stegibbon the problem is that, if Hopp didn't invest millions into Hoffenheim, they'd still be playing in the 4th or 5th league. Hopp disregarded the 50+1 rule.
Fans are protesting Dietmar Hopp overtaking the club with more than 51%. In Germany fans can become members of a club in order to even out the control between investors interests and fans interests. It's something we value because it means we get take part in decision making and a investor cant just run down a club with bad ideas or overspending. The vulgar banners are unnecessary without question but it doesnt change the fact that Dietmar Hopp has very thin skin and wont take the valid criticism most fans agree on.
Banner reads "Whoreson" Amied against Dietmar Hopp. German Billionaire who took over Tsg Hoffenheim and got them to the first League just because of his money.
So what has this guy done to make everyone hate him and why does the game stop because of banners or chants? Seen a few videos this week but none of them explain what fans are protesting.
I'm giving a very poor explanation here: As far as I'm aware, in Germany, teams have a 50+1 rule that states that a club cannot have a majority investor. So basically some guy who's rich af owns more than half of the club. This allows him to dictate ticket prices etc. and gives the club an advantage as he can give them all the spending money they need to buy a strong team. It basically takes the competitiveness out of the game as we've seen in France where PSG spend way more than everyone else and proceed to dominate. That's my understanding of the situation, but I'm sure someone else will give a better explanation
he owns the Majority of Hoffenheim which is usually not possible because in German football one person alone can't own the majority a of a club, but he got the green light. the only clubs that are exempt from this are Leverkusen and Wolfsburg because they wouldn't even exist in the first place without Bayer or Volkswagen. Hoffenheim owner is just a billionaire born in Hoffenheim.
Can someone please explain what the protests are for. I've seen alot of of this going on in Germany but there's never any contexts as to what's going on. We just see games being stopped for a banner. What's the banner stand for? What's this Hopp guy done to get all this hate?
Hopp is a billionaire who pumped Hoffenheim with money and got them into the Bundesliga as the owner. This is against the 50+1 rule which says that one person or a company cant have over 50% of the clubs shares. Leverkusen and Wolfsburg arent affected since the clubs were created for the employers of Bayer(Leverkusen) and Volkswagen(Wolfsburg). Bayern Munich for example is 75% owned by the fans and each 8,33% by Adidas, Audi and Allianz.
I'm confused by all this as an outsider. So they're annoyed he's put money into the club and they are exempt from the 50+1 rule? So what about wolfsburg, leverkusen and leipzig? Why didn't this happen against them? Is it just because a man is an easier target than a company?

@@dickelatics5928 yeah I'm just saying they're going for the easy target, one man with one name rather than the corporations that started the whole thing. Hopp is a symptom not a cause.
Kind of... I believe they sneakily got around the 50+1 rules by issuing a small number of shares and made them so expensive so only fans couldn't buy them...and they are owned by people within the club or in Red Bull.
others mentioned it. They are protesting someone buying a team, ie 51%+ of shares. In germany the fans are quite vocal and active and these fans are protesting the take over of another club by a rich person. They want the game/teams to remain in the hands of the fans.
First of all the fans are stupid, they are protesting because the hoffenheim's owner owns 51% of the club instead of 49 even tho it doesn't change anything in reality
@@louistaylor337 he tries to overthrow the 50+1 rule. Also he sued the fans of the BVB,and they where Bannend from the Hoffenheim Stadium for two years eventhough tue DFB said that there will be no more collective punishments

Er ist ein Investor von TSG Hoffenheim. Ihm gehört zu 51 Prozent der Verein.
He owns more than 51% of Hoffenheim which is agaist the 50+1 rule
those players should be ashamed of themselves
Yeah. They should become fans. Drinking and yelling is such an accomplishment these days.
How come they deal with this more effectively than racism?
I thought RB Leipzig were owned more than 50% by non-fans?
It is
I think they are, hence why they are the most hated club in Germany
Kind of... I believe they sneakily got around the 50+1 rules by issuing a small number of shares and made them so expensive so only fans couldn't buy them...and they are owned by people within the club or in Red Bull.
What's the reason for this banner protest ?
Can someone explain to me why everyone is hating this man?
So... What happened here?
Anyone who watches bundesliga know why the fans are angry with DFB and Hopp?
Can someone explain what they’re protesting or exactly what it is they’re doing please?
others mentioned it.
They are protesting someone buying a team, ie 51%+ of shares.
In germany the fans are quite vocal and active and these fans are protesting the take over of another club by a rich person.
They want the game/teams to remain in the hands of the fans.
Can someone explain whats happening in these games?
Can someone give me some context, please?
First of all the fans are stupid, they are protesting because the hoffenheim's owner owns 51% of the club instead of 49 even tho it doesn't change anything in reality
Fair play to such a small club like Union Berlin to be protesting like this even after going a goal up
Gotta love these fans
can someone tell me what this means??
Who is Dietmar Hopp
