Moin Jens,

Many thanks for the effort! I will be checking in every other hour, looking forward to breaking news from the Euros and candid stories from the steam room…

BTW, do you know what German teams/speakers participate?

Kindest regards from Heidelberg,

Hi Jens,

Thanks for keeping the rest of us informed!

Wrt the motion, I don't think it's a good one. How can you justify that two systems are combined, the sports and the criminal system? I mean, what do we have criminal courts for if not for punishing criminals? What's the added value of punishing sports teams they belong to?

But I guess that already goes too much into the debate; seems like I miss debating more than I was aware of.

Greetings from New York!

Matthias

mlux: One argument that occurred to me is that it disincentivises teams from buying known trouble makers. For example, Newcastle United FC (English soccor) bought Joey Barton from Manchester City. He was a known trouble maker and, I *think* had a criminal record. He has gone on to cause trouble at Newcastle. With the motion in place, Newcastle may not have bought him and it could have removed a trouble maker from the English game.

It works better though, when the crimes are more serious: as far as I rememeber, Joey Barton's are pretty small fry. Maybe drug offences in sports like baseball would be a better prop? Many baseball players are known to dope, right?

Well done to the Tallinn folks for getting back on time. Thanks Jens for keeping us updated. Will you be able to post any scores from how teams are doing?

I mean, isn't this a similar debate to Amy Winehouse not getting an award because she is doing drugs? Artists and sports-people are representative of their countries and role-models, not just persons. And while to Amy Winehouse you can withdraw the prize without hurting others, prizes in football are won primarily by teams so that's whom you punish. With the nice upturn that on role models such as sportsmen you get an extra mechanism for enforcing them to obey rules, which is team pressure.
