Columns Top sports are in a state of mental discount: Sports executives are drooling on dictators ’dollars, and the media is only interested in viewership figures.

Entertainment sports are part of a free market economy and are subject to the same obligations and requirements as, for example, telephone manufacturers, writes Henrik Dettmann, a columnist at HS Vision.

Do you dream on the organization of major sporting events?

In that case, make sure that there is a dictatorship in your country that wipes its nose with human rights and isolates the minorities that are perceived as harmful to the concentration camps, and builds venues with slave labor regardless of nature.

When the cash register of the state propaganda fund is in order, there is a winning concept in the race search. This will inevitably come to mind when looking at the year of sports 2022 and its upcoming major events. From the beginning of the year, we will be able to enjoy the Chinese Winter Olympics and the dictators ’anniversary year will culminate in the World Cup in Qatar.

Is it is distressing to follow the mental rebate state of today’s top sports organizations as sports leaders drool in greed after dollars dictated by dictators and, contrary to old ideals, promote the world into a concentration camp.

The Olympic Committee and its international federations justify their approach by acting like Robin Hood – collecting money from the sheriffs of modern Nottingham and donating it back to the sport and its good cause. The amount of money that the true other side of sports organizations distribute for the common good is significant. Also of note is the PR value enjoyed by the major Napoleonic races of the 2020s.

The public media talks about their lofty ethical values, but the next day sends a group of hundreds of employees as guests to the author.

Rotten is also in the media.

The commercial media washes its laundry white, shouting that we operate on commercial principles: we buy and sell rights and provide entertainment to the people. It is not disturbed by the dictators’ presumptions when the viewership figures are in order and the advertising business is running.

The public service media is, if possible, an even more important factor in maintaining the status quo. It is clear that all sports that are taken behind pay-TV will sooner or later wither.

The public media talks about their lofty ethical values, but the next day sends a hundred-strong set of employees as guests of the dictator. In the name of a free market economy and its operating logic, it eats at the hands of the dictator by running after the biggest, most beautiful, and most moneyful spectacles, nothing else interests him in the slightest. A good example of this is the treatment of women’s sports.

The main players in the sport in the West must outline that they will no longer allow a number of free riders to refer to the common good.

There is no mirror failure if the face is skewed: media however, by smoking, we do not have access to the root causes. Recreational sports are part of a free market economy and are subject to the same obligations and requirements as, for example, telephone manufacturers.

The foundation of sport – like the foundation of politics – is a passionate way of doing things for people. Its underlying principles include meeting people, getting to know each other and learning from each other. Over the last hundred years, sport has shrunk the world more than any other aspect of human life. Because Roger Talermon and Sami Itanin speeches about the cancellation of the olympics are short-sighted piety. There is nothing to be gained from sinking the Olympic movement – in the worst case, the dictators would permanently own the movement for their own purposes.

Populist instead of talking, athletes should focus on keeping their own nest clean and trigger a change in the mental climate of recreational sports. The main players in the sport in the West must outline that they will no longer allow a number of free riders to refer to the common good.

By far the most significant merit of sport is the appreciation and unification of different peoples. It’s time for the athletes to get back to their roots – not because of others but above all to save the sport itself.

First a step towards change is that the Olympic Committees and the major sports federations in the West do not award any significant dignity to the metropolises of the erected, statue-builders of their own statues. Instead, the Games, and with it the sponsors and tourists, will be directed to those countries that are committed to sustainable development and human rights.

This does not mean boycotting tyrannical countries and excluding them from the competition system. Individual athletes and citizens are the victims of their leaders, not complicit in them.

Personally, I miss the big competitions of the future, which are held in stadiums, where long-lasting tickets for a middle-class wallet are drawn. The opening shows of these competitions are a couple of steps more modest and the runners-up of their construction projects will be paid fair compensation for the work done.

Perhaps in such competitions, sport and respect between peoples would once again rise to prominence.
