00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:02,440
Hey!

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,720
Did you hear about
Ute Groth applying

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,080
to be head of the German
Football Association?

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,570
Ute?
A woman?

5
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:08,760
Yes why not?

6
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,960
She was once chairwoman
of DJK Düsseldorf.

7
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,240
But DJK Düsseldorf isn't
the German Football Association is it?

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,120
True, but why do you
see a woman as being

9
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,880
automatically less
entitled to get the post?

10
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:24,440
Women’s football is as much a
part of the association as men's is

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,960
and the male predecessor
Fritz Keller

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,800
isn't leaving the post
with a lot of integrity, is he?

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,400
Yes, he did make a very
inappropriate analogy about a Nazi judge.

14
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,121
But the German
Football Association

15
00:00:33,321 --> 00:00:35,120
is the largest sports
federation in the world.

16
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,080
It has traditions that
can’t be altered just like that.

17
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:40,600
There are no women in
the UEFA leadership either...

18
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,000
I know, it's quite upsetting!

19
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,800
But UEFA is
working to get

20
00:00:44,801 --> 00:00:46,720
more women
in prominent roles.

21
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,560
Take Bibiana Steinhausen, the first woman

22
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,440
to referee a
men's game in 2017.

23
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,440
If the experience is there,

24
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,200
gender shouldn't matter.

25
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,440
What's do you think?

26
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Would European
football benefit

27
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,640
from more
input by women?

28
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,360
