Bundesliga: Ittrich condemns the online hunt against Zwayer

Patrick Ittrich has condemned the hostilities against his referee colleague Felix Zwayer in the strongest possible terms. “The fact that Felix Zwayer has to be afraid for his family is the most disgusting thing of all. It hurts yourself,” said Ittrich in the “ran Bundesliga web show”.

“I also know from the past that you are attacked,” explained the 43-year-old: “You have to try to deal with it, but at some point you have to ask yourself whether it still makes sense .” Ittrich from Hamburg is active in social media himself, so “I know what can happen there. But I find it incredibly disgusting.”

“Insulted, discriminated against and insulted” – Ittrich condemned the handling of Zwayer

Soccer players would also be “insulted, discriminated against and insulted,” the police officer emphasized: “I don’t know what people imagine doing what they have a right to do. It’s not a legal vacuum. Whether it’s in the stadium or on the internet – I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.”
