Big ups to the FC Bayern supporters for not supporting the club's sponsorship choices. It is so important that the "50+1" rule be maintained in Germany/the Bundesliga. Not only is the game nothing without the fans but "we" are the most powerful, albeit disorganized and disunited, stakeholders in the game.
And not to forget the Bundesliga loosing its importance internationally, by getting financially outclassed. Go watch Kreisliga if you do not like money.
@@luc9joni that was 1 season, traditionally only bayern do well in the ucl bcyz they gave more money then the rest of the league that's why Bundesliga sucks
The only way to reverse this is boycott from the fans. Unfortunately, most of the die-hard fans who ultimately fund and enable the success of the clubs won't seriously boycott their clubs. Those Bayern fans are probably doing the most compared to others yet they still paid their tickets, bought the replica kit and probably a bunch of other merchandise and subscription TV. If fans can make sure that for the season after such a deal is signed the stadiums are either empty or barely filled, the shirts don't sell and they cancel their TV packages then the clubs will listen. I can't see any fans doing that any time soon though.
@@dwkickoff I don't think so at the moment because every club is in the same position so club directors will see the loss of revenue as affected by external factors rather than internal factors. If however, once social restrictions end and fans don't come back because they do not want to see sportswashing sponsors that will have a huge impact as these club owners see other stadiums full while theirs are empty. But I don't see any evidence to suggest that will happen. If anything it will be the other way around and fans will all flock back after missing the game so much. There might be even fuller stadiums than before.

Unfortunately there's no way to stop any of that either. Once the sports turned into a popular competition, it's only a matter of time before politics sneak in.
People always say politics and football shouldn't ever mix and this is why. Unfortunately it is inevitable that this will only become more prevalent, the real question is. How do we stop it? or Can it be stopped and changed?
@@thomasmahoney4991 the people at the top are politicians for their countries already, and because they have so much power, they will never changed anything because of the huge amount of money they get from these business interactions
As long as human still exist in this planet than it can't be change because politic is part of human nature especially political influence since human by nature always want to be more powerfull than others. This video is the perfect example when this video is show how how some people use football to gain influence, this video is also mean to gain influence. So since there is no 'right' or 'wrong' people will use anything to gain influence to be more powerfull than others
Players follow the money and teams follow the opportunity to buy the talent to win championships. You either need a critical mass of teams refusing to accept dirty money or a critical mass of players refusing to play for teams that accept dirty money. Neither is going to happen because the reputation costs are so low and rewards of winning are so high.
I can understand why the countries are doing this - it's a great move for them! But the clubs... it's very simple. They're no longer clubs as we remember them to be. The sport isn't for your local fans any longer. Lots has changed for the sport and personally, I believe it's a sad trend.
I have noticed that videos and news articles covering sportswashing somehow always ignore Chelsea even though they were the first team who started this trend
This source is propaganda. Ignore Russia, China, Rwanda…. Hard to take them seriously when they ignore Chelsea, the current UCL champion owned by a Russian energy mogul.
That’s not even so much sportswashing as much as it is Abramovic having obscene amounts of money because of a corrupt oligarchy. It’s a problem but it’s still slightly different to why Qatar invests so much.
These "regimes" are simply freeing the sport from the Cartel football clubs that held it. Forming the galacticos, hoarding top talents & completely controlling the market so that no one else could come in and invest to gain ground. Now, smaller teams get a lot more money for their talents & the bigger clubs have to pay more for players they want. more teams are competing for European trophies. What is the problem?
Double Standards. isn't Juve controlled by the Agnelli family?. Lazio by Lotito, AC Milan with Berlusconi. Inter and Roma for a period of time with certain Italian families.. you get Real Madrid, Barca, MAN UTD and many other clubs stacking high-end players with millions and millions of euros. but wait, those new evolving clubs must not do something about it.
@@bungeespeaks6081 Has nothing to do with racists you low iq human. By writing Bayern into the headline, it makes them look like the club is bought from a billionaire and only are successful/rich because of that, but this is not true, its "just" a sponsor which almost every big club has.
I miss the days of no sponsors on Barça shirts, only UNICEF. Biggest threat to the beautiful game is the money and politics getting involved, WAKE UP UEFA
Undeniable proof that money is killing football. Several years back then, PSG was at the verge of relegation. Nowadays, they have an Arab owner and were a UCL finalist.
@@bluestorm9977 yes yes let us all take the piss out of PSG but while we’re at it, why not talk about the most successful club in European history and how they were backed by the infamous Spanish dictator Francisco Franco who invested the money he had gained from his fascist regime into sixteen La Liga titles, thirteen Copa del Rey titles, and six Champions League titles for Real Madrid during his reign.
@@dominic1332 was there anything I said wrong? I hope you realize that you look very immature replacing the S in our name with a dollar sign so why should I even bother taking you seriously?
Let's not forget that professional football began in victorian england by mill and factory owners who wanted to give their workers something to do on a saturday afternoon (church on sunday) instead of going to the pub and getting pissed and having fights - it was called "Scuttling". The Peaky Blinders began in that environment and so the employers invested in football so that their workers would be more likely to be at work on monday morning rather than up in front of the local justice... it's always been about money for the Man.
The fact that FC barcelona never had any sponsors till unicef and then in 2014 qatar foundation started to show that the football and the club was in decline. Its so sad to see the best club in world football now struggling in la liga and fighting for ucl placement.
Tifo and DW. But I don't get why there are ads on DW-clips, since it's completely financed by the "Rundfunkgebühren" (television licence fee). Other channels like f.e. "Das Erste", "funk", "phoenix" and so on are completely ad-free. I think they should at least turn them of for German users. But because they're don't rely on advertising at all, since there budget is covered by the fees, they should turn 'em off everywhere.
And some of these so called barons are so clueless about the beautiful game that clubs like Malaga and QPR were left worse than they were before their acquisition
all of these Frenzy started by Perez,, Figo, Zidane, Kaka, Ronaldo the transfer always inflated ever since... and the worst is Abramovich,once he bought entire match Squad on a single Transfer period .. it is make no sense now A Goalkeeper is twice Zidane record transfer fee on 2001.. a player who hasn't had win a trophy like Lallana, is more expensive than Zidane... Today wages Also sky rocket, Messi's single week salary is enough to pay 200 workers (Jakarta) annual income, INSANE!!
@@33lyh Barcelona panic buying after neymar departure is ridiculous.. 3 players 100M+ price tag with insignificant role is a shame, Barcelona drowned in debt
It would be more controversial over monopoly if they buy the club... because -Emirates owned by Dubai -ManCity owned by AbuDhabi tho AbuDhabi and Dubai r different state rule by different royal family but they still under one federal country...
Regarding Qatar I wish you'd cover the scandal during the handball World Cup held in Qatar. Not only did they "buy" players to represent their country, but also they were pushed through by the refs until the final. Something that is not impossible to happen during the 2022 WC to some extent. See 2002 and Korea if you're in doubt.
Nah, South Korea in 2002 made it as far as they did on their own merit - and their rivals' mistakes. You don't get a team like that South Korea through giants like Italy and Spain simply by buying the referees.
It’s lazy. How can you totally ignore Russia (Chelsea) and China? These are far more powerful evil empires. Almost seems like intentional propaganda to distract from the real problem,
In the case of rwanda, Kagame brought the country from a poor place that just had a genocide take place to one of fastest growing economies in sub saharan Africa. This documentary makes him sound bad. I know that he has ruled for a long time but he's done a good job so far. Democracy is not the only way to run a successful country this agenda to push democracy on our countries must stop. On another note this was a very good documentary showing the side of football that we dont really talk about.
Rwanda cannot have a governance model based on 1 man, Paul Kagame. What will happen when he dies? Concentrating power in the hands of 1 man seems like a good idea if the one man who happens to currently have the power is doing good things, but what happens when the next guy comes, takes all that power and is of a different mind? Democracy is a stable governance system that we all need.
A moment of silence for all the clueless Barca/Real/Bayern/Arsenal "fans" who clicked on this video to look down on PSG and Man City, just to be educated about how their clubs are just as scummy.
I love how we brand the French league as a joke because PSG wins every year while the Italian league and German league had the same champions for a decade AND the smaller clubs sell their best players/coaches to these clubs. Let’s call a spade a spade, every league is ending up the same way- a joke.
Guys I’m from Qatar but seriously another big reason people discriminate against us specifically is because we’re a Arabic Muslim country if it was England or Spain doing this no one would care but our background is why people care if you don’t believe me look at Brazil thousands of workers died during the 2014 World Cup but almost everyone tries to ignore it wtf

Honestly, the most suprising thing I am realizing is that the ex legends and platforms are reflecting the bad image of the diehards fans of a historic premier league club instead of revealing the truth. for example, as an arsenal fan, there are many people like me who wants a change of ownership and kroenke to sell but doesn't raise their voice, but fan channels like aftv installed toxicity in the club and hounded wenger but are praising their club owner and putting the blame away. same as the ex legends like keown who allows the media to annoy us and focus on other teams . while pundits in the rest of the leagues mainly Spain act as a fan and are ready to stop the clowns inside their club. proof : bartemou got forced to step down despite winning trophies, while owners like kroenke keep doing their cluelessness without anyone forcing him to sell . Managers and players are scapegoats. Can you speak about this topic?
The glazers at Manchester United are doing the same thing, they don't support ole gunner in the transfer market yet they blame ole for poor performance in the league threatening him with suck notices.
@@eugeneangwa4466 Both owners are bad, but atleast your team win important trophies and buy mega players, while mine made the fans get used to humiliation against big teams, installed losing mentality, and haven't invested a penny . anyway, I hope both will be forced to leave like barca did to bartemeou and return back to our glory days.
@@nathan225 The problem is not years without uefa champions league football, but is unstability, lack of passion, no vision, etc.... . one day we believe we can win the league, another day we feel we are close to relegation. one summer we make great signings but on the pitch we affect those who can provide a great chemistry with the new ones due to politics, fitness issues, etc... . the owners are playing with us like a roller coaster. Therefore, it will be like a honeymoon for us real arsenal fans when kroenke family sell to a new owner. At least we will have a clear picture of what is going on not have managers lying and players underperforming.
@@Karim-rl1xk I honestly long the day when I finally see Arsenal at it’s best just as it was almost two decades ago. When I watched Wenger shame his head as the ref blew time for Arsenal’s last ever Champions League match three years ago at the Emirates, I knew the problem was never Wenger.
honestly its rich Europeans commenting on this when they have caused so much pain and atrocities for the past 400 years all over the world now that other countries are doing the same its bad?
The sport I love and share with billions is corrupt to the fullest by few selected companies and individuals is scary . Never really imagined that seeing sponserd on shirts has that much going on behind the scenes . Great work 👍
well their links to Qatar are pretty big. Winter camps there for many years, sleeve sponsorship. They are not owned by oligarchs but club fanbase is alarmed at how close they are
@@dwkickoff First of all, thanks for the response, appreciate it! While the whole sponsorship thing is completely true, they way I've seen Bayern behave in the past years, compared to other big clubs, especially on transfer market, leads me to believe that they'd be the last out of the big clubs to do something like this. They've made some mistakes in the past and present, but I think Rummenigge & Co. are not that dumb. They know it would be wrong. Sure, they wanted the most money out of their sponsorship deals but they wouldn't let some oligarch take over the club, that'd be a completely different story for them. Compared to other big teams like Barca, Real, Juve, etc. I still think Bayern ist the least endangered of getting taken over by oligarchs bc Bayern's bosses know there's a family there that they don't want to destroy. They sure want the most money possible but not through some rich benefactor. Maybe I'm just a fool, who knows, but that's what I believe in 100%.

@@ken.9320 no, you missed his point. Bayern are not even the 50th worst at this but somehow they list them with PSG and City. It’s preposterous. Learn logic and scale, guy.
What People in countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar do is they go to poor places in Nepal and India and promise ppl money, take them to their construction sites etc and barely pay them. By that time they have little to no money to contact home. My friends that used to live in Saudi Arabia told me about this :/
This is called western media brain washing. Seriously! Is football only related to Europe or some others? It's a sport which has been played for centuries. Europe and America has been using them for political agenda for years and now when eastern countries try to play and wants change their image then what is wrong with it. Coming towards human rights, then I would say that for countries like Europeans and Americans, human rights are scale is different. They have been using this so called "human rights organisations" for their political agendas
Well Rich Clubs influencing football isn't new. You see Manchester United & Real Madrid have been buyin Great Players at a high price from quite a long time. They Make the most costliest teams if you look it up in the history. For City , I can say they're earning very well too because the difference in their revenue & United's revenue over the years has been down to 15-60M . They're earning on the basis of Sponsorships & not to forget they still don't sell players & if they do , their net Profits will be on cloud 7. Even PSG don't throw away money . Yes the Neymar deal was huge but that's how it's. Bayern on the other side is doing Bad to other teams because if you look at other big teams , they don't break the Competition of their league by buying best players of each team while Bayern buys players from Bundesliga & breaks opponents .
The Europa League final in Baku was perhaps the worst in history. Not only it was grossly one-sided, but they couldn't even fill the stadium to full capacity. They allocated a majority of the seats to corporate partners, not fans of competing teams. And it looked like a preseason game on TV because the broadcasting camera had to be set so far away from the pitch, on top of it not being sold out.
Champions League is already ruined and is boring for the vast majority of football fans. You know pretty much who will make the quarter final stage before it starts. Europa League was a bit more interesting until teams who failed in the CL started to enter the EL. Now I start to understand why this kind of nonsense is allowed to happen.
I literally saw the name of Azerbaijan for the first time in Athletico Madrid's kit & silly young me thought they must be a cool country to sponsor a football (not soccer) club.
I’m not a Conservative but when my local professional teams’ ground , Dean Court ceased to be called Dean Court after about 120 years to be re branded after an Insurance Company , it all gets a bit ironic 😕
Including Bayern Munich along with PSG and City is so deeply misguided and totally kills the credibility of this video. Bayern is fan owned and fully German. The main sponsors like Audi are German. City and PSG are owned by foreign states or oligarchs. And how did you ignore the Spanish clubs? If you wanted to mention a German club, it’s Leipzig who is corporate owned. The English league has by far the heaviest corporate influence.
Qatar is way way better than saudi, uae etc in human rights. Thought DW will be neutral but it seems just as biased as others. Every news media should just shut up about the issues of human rights. Cause there is not a single country in the world right now where the human rights aren't violated. And football isn't ruined by rich regimes. Russia world cup was one of the most exciting one. Even during the world cup in brazil, brazilian people were suffering while their govt was spend huge amount of money in organizing world cup.
Football was political in the 1900s too. South American football had a huge political influence. Real Madrid's success was used to "sport wash" Franco's regime in Spain. Not only football, it's true for most international team sport. Like cricket in India-Pakistan now or England-Australia in the 1800s and 1900s.
Money and power always go have in have in the world of sports. Middle East countries like Qatar and UAE put up tons of money for clubs like PSG and Manchester City to be competitive. But the practice of sportswashing is becoming more concerning. On one hand businesses put up money for success but in the other hand human rights violations are a red flag. Can't help it if money and power are dominating the world of European Football.
"we accept that", "we receive the criticism very well", well what are they doing about that?!? she might as well have said "yeah, isn't that great? we don't care..."
But isn't this a bit hypocritical too though? This is like caught up between the idealism of youth vs the pragmatism of experience. Of course the fans of that respective clubs want recognition, identity, a chance to showcase who they are, albeit foul play is definitely debatable. People will relish the joys of capitalism but criticize the sources of it. Of course Qatar's hosting of WC with so many migrant lives lost is saddening to the very core. I am not supporting sportswashing but just like media/tech/data has revolutionized every sport maybe sportswashing too. We may hate it , yes, but as long as the fans love it, the country associated with it is increasing its economy, maybe there isn't much we can do about it. Correct me if I am wrong please.
You're not wrong in an idealistic world, but the people in power are using trillions to manipulate those same fans. Propaganda can make people believe their opinions are truly theirs, even though they've been influenced to think that way. They create a problem, wait for the fans to respond to it in a predictable way, and then offer the solution. That's how they keep pushing agendas on us.

People always say politics and football shouldn't ever mix and this is why. Unfortunately it is inevitable that this will only become more prevalent, the real question is. How do we stop it? or Can it be stopped and changed?
It's the people at the top who make these decisions, and seem to have their minds set anyway so I dont think it will be changed for the time being
@@thomasmahoney4991 the people at the top are politicians for their countries already, and because they have so much power, they will never changed anything because of the huge amount of money they get from these business interactions
@@andrewhodyss9092 exactly
As long as human still exist in this planet than it can't be change because politic is part of human nature especially political influence since human by nature always want to be more powerfull than others. This video is the perfect example when this video is show how how some people use football to gain influence, this video is also mean to gain influence. So since there is no 'right' or 'wrong' people will use anything to gain influence to be more powerfull than others
Players follow the money and teams follow the opportunity to buy the talent to win championships. You either need a critical mass of teams refusing to accept dirty money or a critical mass of players refusing to play for teams that accept dirty money. Neither is going to happen because the reputation costs are so low and rewards of winning are so high.
I can understand why the countries are doing this - it's a great move for them! But the clubs... it's very simple. They're no longer clubs as we remember them to be. The sport isn't for your local fans any longer. Lots has changed for the sport and personally, I believe it's a sad trend.
I have noticed that videos and news articles covering sportswashing somehow always ignore Chelsea even though they were the first team who started this trend
This source is propaganda. Ignore Russia, China, Rwanda…. Hard to take them seriously when they ignore Chelsea, the current UCL champion owned by a Russian energy mogul.
That’s not even so much sportswashing as much as it is Abramovic having obscene amounts of money because of a corrupt oligarchy. It’s a problem but it’s still slightly different to why Qatar invests so much.
Abramovich has a lighter shade of skin, that's why
These "regimes" are simply freeing the sport from the Cartel football clubs that held it. Forming the galacticos, hoarding top talents & completely controlling the market so that no one else could come in and invest to gain ground. Now, smaller teams get a lot more money for their talents & the bigger clubs have to pay more for players they want. more teams are competing for European trophies. What is the problem?
Double Standards. isn't Juve controlled by the Agnelli family?. Lazio by Lotito, AC Milan with Berlusconi. Inter and Roma for a period of time with certain Italian families.. you get Real Madrid, Barca, MAN UTD and many other clubs stacking high-end players with millions and millions of euros. but wait, those new evolving clubs must not do something about it.

Fascinating Documentary! Greeting from Ethiopia!
Let's not forget that professional football began in victorian england by mill and factory owners who wanted to give their workers something to do on a saturday afternoon (church on sunday) instead of going to the pub and getting pissed and having fights - it was called "Scuttling". The Peaky Blinders began in that environment and so the employers invested in football so that their workers would be more likely to be at work on monday morning rather than up in front of the local justice... it's always been about money for the Man.
Bayern did not have a majority share. You may include red bull (s) but not bayern !

Something that is not impossible to happen during the 2022 WC to some extent. See 2002 and Korea if you're in doubt.

In the case of rwanda, Kagame brought the country from a poor place that just had a genocide take place to one of fastest growing economies in sub saharan Africa. This documentary makes him sound bad. I know that he has ruled for a long time but he's done a good job so far. Democracy is not the only way to run a successful country this agenda to push democracy on our countries must stop.
On another note this was a very good documentary showing the side of football that we dont really talk about.
yes this is what i was thinking. the fact is the visitrwanda deal has benefited rwanda, it’s given them the exposure they desired.
Whoever went to Rwanda saw how really Africa can be. Super positive memories from Kigali. 🙌🙌🙌
You make it wrong here. Rwanda doesn't invest much in football, so it hardly takes main scheme.
Rwanda cannot have a governance model based on 1 man, Paul Kagame. What will happen when he dies?
Concentrating power in the hands of 1 man seems like a good idea if the one man who happens to currently have the power is doing good things, but what happens when the next guy comes, takes all that power and is of a different mind?
Democracy is a stable governance system that we all need.

Honestly, the most suprising thing I am realizing is that the ex legends and platforms are reflecting the bad image of the diehards fans of a historic premier league club instead of revealing the truth. for example, as an arsenal fan, there are many people like me who wants a change of ownership and kroenke to sell but doesn't raise their voice, but fan channels like aftv installed toxicity in the club and hounded wenger but are praising their club owner and putting the blame away. same as the ex legends like keown who allows the media to annoy us and focus on other teams . while pundits in the rest of the leagues mainly Spain act as a fan and are ready to stop the clowns inside their club. proof : bartemou got forced to step down despite winning trophies, while owners like kroenke keep doing their cluelessness without anyone forcing him to sell . Managers and players are scapegoats.
Can you speak about this topic?

well their links to Qatar are pretty big. Winter camps there for many years, sleeve sponsorship. They are not owned by oligarchs but club fanbase is alarmed at how close they are
@@dwkickoff First of all, thanks for the response, appreciate it! While the whole sponsorship thing is completely true, they way I've seen Bayern behave in the past years, compared to other big clubs, especially on transfer market, leads me to believe that they'd be the last out of the big clubs to do something like this. They've made some mistakes in the past and present, but I think Rummenigge & Co. are not that dumb. They know it would be wrong. Sure, they wanted the most money out of their sponsorship deals but they wouldn't let some oligarch take over the club, that'd be a completely different story for them. Compared to other big teams like Barca, Real, Juve, etc. I still think Bayern ist the least endangered of getting taken over by oligarchs bc Bayern's bosses know there's a family there that they don't want to destroy. They sure want the most money possible but not through some rich benefactor. Maybe I'm just a fool, who knows, but that's what I believe in 100%.

Coming towards human rights, then I would say that for countries like Europeans and Americans, human rights are scale is different. They have been using this so called "human rights organisations" for their political agendas
Well Rich Clubs influencing football isn't new. You see Manchester United & Real Madrid have been buyin Great Players at a high price from quite a long time.

Money and power always go have in have in the world of sports. Middle East countries like Qatar and UAE put up tons of money for clubs like PSG and Manchester City to be competitive. But the practice of sportswashing is becoming more concerning. On one hand businesses put up money for success but in the other hand human rights violations are a red flag.

But isn't this a bit hypocritical too though? This is like caught up between the idealism of youth vs the pragmatism of experience. Of course the fans of that respective clubs want recognition, identity, a chance to showcase who they are, albeit foul play is definitely debatable. People will relish the joys of capitalism but criticize the sources of it. Of course Qatar's hosting of WC with so many migrant lives lost is saddening to the very core. I am not supporting sportswashing but just like media/tech/data has revolutionized every sport maybe sportswashing too. We may hate it , yes, but as long as the fans love it, the country associated with it is increasing its economy, maybe there isn't much we can do about it. Correct me if I am wrong please.
You're not wrong in an idealistic world, but the people in power are using trillions to manipulate those same fans. Propaganda can make people believe their opinions are truly theirs, even though they've been influenced to think that way. They create a problem, wait for the fans to respond to it in a predictable way, and then offer the solution. That's how they keep pushing agendas on us.
