🤯 FIFA monetises everything! Germany star tells mad World Cup shirt story

🤯 FIFA monetises everything! Germany star tells mad World Cup shirt story We all followed it: FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s idea of selling shares in the World Cup has failed spectacularly. Quite a few people are saying: Luckily!  In recent days, many people had weighed in on the debate, but little was heard from the pros themselves.  That has now changed, because the first player from the German national team has finally spoken plainly. Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann warned against the over-commercialization of football in an interview with ‘Bild’. He appealed to the bosses: “Please just let football be football, so that it remains about the sport!” Sport and football, he said, are so beautiful and thrive on emotion and the game itself: “That must not fade away. We mustn’t let it get to the point where all of us who love the sport eventually lose interest because it’s being changed so much.” Baumann also shared a funny yet almost slightly tragic commercial anecdote from the World Cup. His teammates and he had small badges on their jerseys. For players who had been there longer, it said “Legacy,” while his own said something like “Debutant.”  After the match, the badges were removed from the jerseys again. Baumann told ‘Bild’: “It was explained to me that they’d probably make money from that too.” He could only think: “Leave my jersey alone, I want to take it back with me!” With his clear message to Infantino and co., the German national team goalkeeper, who has been relegated to the bench, is probably speaking for many football fans.
