The restart of the Bundesliga last weekend has drawn criticism from the sports community in football-mad Germany with world champion rower Oliver Zeidler branding it "a joke" and criticised an "insane system".
"It's a joke," Zeidler told AFP subsidiary SID.
"If children cannot go to daycare and caterers are not allowed to use their full capacity, then allowing millionaires on the pitch sends the wrong signal."
- 'Justified and sensible' -
============================
"As a fencer, I have always been concerned that there is more to the media than just football."
