mourning for the Olympics: In Hamburg and Germany as a whole, there are as soon no longer
Only the defeat in Munich in 2013, now the cancellation of Hamburg: The people of this country reject Olympic Games on their doorstep from apparently. That is a fatal signal for the sport. Since a referendum has become a good prerequisite for this project, it is long no political support more give for Olympia fantasies of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB). The idea of playing in Germany is dead.

Many athletes are taken aback. Olympia is still the greatest thing in their lives. They bridge barriers to the development of their talent with the dream of starting in the Olympic team. Now they refer to the rejection itself. But opponents of the Olympic Games in Hamburg did not have the athletes in mind when they voted ‘no’. They defended themselves against the calculus of the makers, nuclear trouble dubbing with emotions.
Major sporting events are no longer socially acceptable
Hamburg’s First Mayor Olaf Scholz had tried the games in 2024 to use for urban development, which should be paid mainly the federal government, but did not want to. The DOSB has not been strong enough Scholz discourage this strategy. For this weakness there is a substantial reason: Major sporting events are no longer socially acceptable. The corruption in the International Football Federation (FIFA), the DFB scandal, daily Doping messages have influenced the vote in Hamburg: this association princes want many citizens do not tilt their money into the throat

While it is unfair to take the reform joyful IOC in a pot with FIFA. But citizens have long understood that unscrupulous football, cycling and athletics officials also influence the IOC, and whether during the blockade of reforms. What if they knew how great the degree of manipulation is actually? That officials in the International Swimming Federation, handball or basketball are not better people?
The unveiling series has only just begun. It proves that the so important autonomy of sport has led for decades to a dubious life of its own, the association world. President and sports idols performing managerial responsibilities believed to be allowed to take out everything. Now you get the receipt. But will pay the athletes. Because the next three Olympic Games to Rio 2016 will be held in Asia, Olympia disappears from the rousing live view of the Germans. In addition, the television marketing strategy of the IOC could lead to pulping, if the new rights owner Discovery transfer licenses should no longer sell at a stretch. All medals, a “family reunion” there will no longer be in the public television. So fingers crossed the nation for a hitherto unknown weightlifter or a luger. They live off of this for a moment.
Ironically, the football is the winner
If you want to protect them, the power conservation system of certain associations would break. But in the face of their inertia, it seems more realistic to await the self-destruction of an outdated sports system. It will encourage many losers for days before it with the senses can be used on old values to make a fresh start.
However, there is already a winner. That’s the irony of democratization. German football has a good chance in 2024 to get the European Championship despite his affair. Since the population is not required.
