Uli Hoeneß stayed back for a political one. However, the honorary president of FC Bayern has recently become more and more commented on world events. Many T-Online readers like this, others want him more reluctance.
Uli Hoeneß has made a name for himself as a loud commentator of football in the past decades. Now he is also more and more political. So he publicly reveals his desired government, stings against the AfD and insults Elon Musk.
“Hoeneß is exactly the type this country needs now,” says Robert Hiersemann. Florian Wichert replies: “He must not become a permanent voice of the nation.” The Pro & Contra of the two T-Online editors that you can read here triggered different reactions.
“This country needs you like Uli Hoeneß”
Yvonne Möritz writes: “We need many exemplary people who have their ears in the people and say clearly and clearly their opinion.”
“For God’s sake: let the Hoeneß disappear in the sinking, where he belongs,” says Günter Gap. “There are enough arrogant machos.”
Peter Zeimet Mail: “Why should he keep his mouth? For the populists who broaden their opinion with maximum media power today, this country needs one like Uli Hoeneß. In any case, he has the format to violate a Musk – without paying attention to political correctness in every sentence.”
“Nobody needs such a steam chatterer,” says Manfred Drop. “What he made at ‘Maischberger’ was only polemics – as always. If he appears again on a talk show, I immediately switch to another program.”
Anne Loan says: “Uli Hoeneß is known to say what’s going on – in a nutshell. Our so beautiful country needs more guys, especially in these dilapidated times.” The T-Online reader believes that the 73-year-old can articulate herself more eloquent in the media than the normal citizen, which is why she prefers to see one in programs like him.
“Basically, Uli Hoeneß speaks plain text and mostly recognizes the poodle,” sends Franz-Josef Glas in advance. “But due to his tax evasion, he forfeited the role model function and is not sustainable for politics.”
Hermann Engelmann It sees it differently: “Uli Hoeneß is exactly the right man, because he has experience not only with people, but also business nature. It would be great if he could help politicians with his clear statements and then be implemented his suggestions.”
“Mr. Hoeneß should take care of his FC Bayern,” criticized Mona leaves. “He can do the big jacker. But he should finally stop doing one on wannabe politicians and adding his mustard everywhere. As a saying says? Schuster, stay with your strips. He should stick to that if he doesn’t want to become a joke. It would be better to disappear from the big stage.”
Werner stork Extremes: “A hearty and violent voice of a Hoeneß is more than appropriate. With it, one expresses itself without consideration of losses. Such a figure would be good for German politics. We simply need more critics to step on the tanty. Because there are simply no teasing, the uncomfortable, the dirty slides and the uninhibited. Putin or Orbán inappropriately with their gentle tones. “
“What Mr. Hoeneß spreads has no relevance for politics,” believes Achim Ludwig. “His formulations are pure chatter that every normal citizen can express. His advantage is the stage that he enters as a prominent and which is given to him.”
