Montagsspiel - fussballkulturpolitikunterhaltung
In the page's words:
"Sport is apolitical.", "Politics out of the stadium.", "In soccer, only the game counts."
Sentences like these are like a blood curdling rant from the 80s: unsightly, outdated and, above all, dangerous.
Soccer has long been a social space in which all the issues of our time can and must be discussed.
This is precisely where the new format "Montagsspiel - Fußballkulturpolitikunterhaltung" comes in. A compact neologism for a multi-layered format. From now on, Gregor Ryl and Peter Farhangian will talk once a month with different experts and you as the audience about the big and small issues surrounding soccer, society and politics.
