RE: German Athletes (edition 1) - Football - Franz Beckenbauer
He rose up to the sky of sports. For this he deserves all our admiration. But after his active career he sunk deeper and deeper into ambiguous affairs. So he desproyed a lot of his reputation. It's so foolish. He had enough money. Why did he do so?
I know where you come from - and agree - his reputation has declined, what ever is true from the affairs to me he remains the awesome football player - he played in a djungle of total corruption if i may say so talking about FIFA and UEFA - probably it would have been better for him to stop after his team manager job - but let us face it football is a money business - and probably one of those sectors with higher public interest compared to other industries - corruption is a part of EVERY industry in every country - but most is not knwon public - and humans are humans - even THE Kaiser
