Fussball war unser Leben

Billions on Earth are captivated by football. However, a toxic alliance of commerce and ideology threatens the very essence of the world's most beautiful pastime. This book addresses the threat posed by opportunists, politicians, and their journalistic accomplices who parasitically exploit the appeal of football. Its critical perspective on politics and media is shaped by the undeniable impression of an increasingly intrusive instrumentalization of sports driven by current global agendas. The sociological lens of the book intertwines with the author's personal insights as a devoted football student, decades-long amateur player, variously a coach, passionate club fan, and long-suffering supporter of a national team that is gradually losing its luster.
