(Germany, European Championship Football Tournament) Munich (dpo) – The German national team will play the second group game against Hungary in the pink away jersey. Because there were also critical voices in the run-up to the game, ARD wants to broadcast a second livestream in black and white in addition to the usual livestream of the game, so that fans who are insecure about their masculinity can also enjoy the game.

“The colorful standard live stream is basically there for all football fans,” explained a spokesman for ARD. “The second livestream in black and white is also aimed at those particularly sensitive men who have a problem with the color pink because they are not sufficiently stable in their masculinity.”

Instead of dangerous pink, the national team’s jersey will then appear in harmless grey. Other dangers such as colourful captain’s armbands or fans with rainbow flags would also be defused.

“We see this service as an important step towards more inclusion,” the broadcaster said. “In this way, insecure men are also taken into account in their gender role. No one has to fear anymore that they will become homosexual or transsexual at the sight of the German away jerseys or suddenly no longer be considered a real man if they don’t express their disdain for the colour every few seconds.”

ARD wants to increase the well-being of this target group even further: In addition, the sound of the audio commentary is to be mixed so that it sounds as if it was recorded with a microphone in the 40s.
