Claudia Neumann was the subject of a really nasty review.
Claudia Neumann shared her views on the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter. PDO
Germany is spoken by the feedback that the football commentator Claudia Neumann has received from his work on the ZDF channel in the Champions League final match on Saturday night.
Neumann, 59, made history as she became the first woman in Germany to act as a commentator at the climax of club football’s most prestigious cup competition.
The flip side of Meriit was that the most visible feedback was inferior. According to Bild, Neumann’s performance was not the best and included some slips, but of course that does not justify the way the quality of his work was treated.
Former player and football influencer Katja Kraus sees the underlying Neumann gender. He describes the social media rants that have been unleashed as a “sexist shitstorm”.
– Commenting is of course a matter of taste, but women start to avoid it even before kick-off. It is completely detached from the essential evaluation, Kraus points out in an article published by ZDF on Sunday.
For Neumann, the situation is not new, as he has a lot of experience working as a commentator all the way up to value competitions. ZDF has previously reacted to offensive feedback by filing lawsuits against internet commentators.
– Claudia Neumann is a professional and experienced commentator, which she proved again in the Champions League final. Constructive and fact-based criticism of his work is perfectly fine. However, the amount of hate and insults he received is unacceptable, ZDF’s director of sports York Path underscore at the channel output.
