Athletes only resort to PR phrases. What is often criticized, now make individual athletes to the topic. They show that there is another way.
“Anyone who addresses critical issues immediately triggers a scandal. All-life quotes are made into big lines. Due to this development, there will be much less content from the players in the future, and we will all have to put up with a lot of meaningless stuff, “said Bayern defender Mats Hummels. He also criticizes that “very normal things can no longer be said (…)”
Players would have in his opinion, no desire to get into negative headlines. As a result, the inhibition threshold to say something. Hummels, on the other hand, takes it upon himself to get into trouble again and again.
Last week, top biathlete Arnd Peiffer also hit the headlines. He had criticized that at the Olympic Games in Pyoeng Chang again and again because of trivia stress is made. One should “(…) not say this and not post it. You have to put on exactly those things and make tens of applications if a sponsor posts anything that’s related to your name. ”
It is not the first time that he finds very critical words. He had already criticized the lack of sustainability in the run-up to the Olympic Games. “When the games are played, it’s not always about whether they can have great and fair competitions.” Instead, the Olympic Committee (IOC) is often linked to corruption. “The myth Olympia has lost a lot of its population,” says Peiffer.
So they still exist, the athletes, who sometimes say their opinion. We at the DIC recommend: more of that! A profile is created primarily by a clear attitude. “(…) I’m just not the guy who praises everything in heaven, just because he is successful,” says Peiffer, showing that you can certainly make a profile – if you dare.
