Emancipation reached Soccer-Stadions' ranks

The whole world has waited for it, the event which does not know any barriers like different nations, cultures or appearances, the event where eleven sports men run behind a little black-white ball:
The World Cup of Soccer in Germany. Sitting in front of your television faces of celebrating Africans dancing with Europeans, overwhelmed Asian faces meeting fans from America flicker in front of your eyes. You might think: ’this is it! That is what it should be like, when a lot of different nations celebrate in a wild mixture on streets full of colored flags. Sports do not know any exclusion!?
Our politics should be like that! No racism, everybody in peace and harmony…

“Stop that!” the little dirty laughing devil in the back of your head shouts…"Stop that exaggerated optimistic attitude.”
The smile in your happy face vanishes.
Have I forgotten anything? you are asking yourself. “Yes, you have”, says the little devil.
“Have you not forgotten the female world?” But this time it is your turn to laugh dirtily. You are able to make that little devil disappear. I have not forgotten women, you think!

This year we all were able to recognize that also soccer is reached by the
emancipation movement of women.
The times are over when women are desperately sitting at home, not knowing which program to switch on because everywhere the black-white ball is rolling on the television screen, the times when men left for watching soccer with friends but women sitting lonely at home.

No, an emancipated woman snaps friends up, wears colored T-shirts with flags on it, roots for her favorite team and just celebrates with her male soccer-friends. The emancipation has done recognizable steps.

Angela Merkel, the Federal Chancellor of Germany, sets a good example for all the women who indeed are interested in soccer but do not have the courage to watch it lively or in a group of men. Angela Merkel supported the German team on the first ranks, although her present did not bring the victory to the German team she brought a small contribute of victory to the emancipation of women.

Nice bikinis with flags on it, attractive tops for women with flags on it and other flag decorated clothes show that women who are watching soccer do not necessarily have to fulfill that stereotype of women watching soccer: Ten or twenty years before women watching soccer often were known as more male than female: They were the reason for a lot of laughters on the male side of soccer fans. Today women accept their femaleness and do not see in their feminine traits any barrier to watch soccer! While you were gazed with a doubting glance several years before as a woman sitting in a soccer stadium today you are definitely not the only woman watching a game.

The wave of emancipation has reached the sports field and we will see if this wave will develop enough force to destroy other sandy barriers of anti-emancipation….not just on the sport field!
