Bundesliga clubs are examining lawsuits against viewer restrictions

The Bundesliga clubs no longer want to accept the current spectator restrictions and are considering a lawsuit. “We’ll also check with other Bundesliga clubs if we can’t find a quick solution here, whether and how we can take legal action,” said managing director Oliver Mintzlaff of RB Leipzig image.

He joined a similar move by Borussia Dortmund boss Hans-Joachim Watzke, which Mintzlaff finds “absolutely right”.

The RB boss (46) called for “pragmatic, logical and understandable decisions” from politicians. The results of the most recent prime ministers’ conference in relation to major events are “incomprehensible to us” and “of course disappointing,” he emphasized, and complained: “We are doing symbolic politics.”

In general, “people felt fooled,” said Mintzlaff, referring to the example of the convalescent regulation, which is being reduced to three months for the population while it remains at six months in the Bundestag: “The federal government cannot paint the world as she likes it. It then ends in a zigzag course that people can no longer support.”
