Keep the football 2018 World Cup held in Russia? German politicians have questioned the after MH17-launch. Is a boycott call useful? The reactions of the media – in cooperation with Press Compass.

Spiegel:To want to take the World Cup in Russia, distracts from the actual question from what it was worth to us, Putin show a border, Nikolaus Blome writes. The demand is a pure smokescreen, because: “The EU countries find it difficult to adopt tough economic sanctions.” Those who rush to the Football symbolism, let him turn in plain ridiculous.

Bild:”Take away the World Cup Putin!” Demands Hans-Jörg Vehlewald to “Bild.de”. It is only apparent as sports and politics have nothing to do with each other. 1980 were boycotted in Moscow because of the former Soviet attack on Afghanistan and the Olympics. Putin should not mimic the sports-loving Angel of Peace 2018. A World Cup have no place in the land of terror helper.

Tagesshau.de:”Those who demand that knows that this will never happen,” says Andreas Meyer-Feist on “tagesschau.de”. It is so rare that the Fifa’ll be impressed by such discussions. To demand Symbolic boycotts, do not hurt anyone. Economic sanctions, however, would also make ourselves create. Much is the part of European leaders to do more to build up pressure on Putin.

Deutsche Welle:”The debate about the Football World Cup […] is superfluous,” Sabine Faber writes for the Deutsche Welle. It is a classic silly season theme. Really important are economic sanctions, which act immediately. Who can tell how the world political situation would not change until 2018 also now. Boycotts of sporting events are merely symbolic in nature and made no real impression on governments.

Rhein Zeitung:”Politics does not interfere since,” says Rena Lehmann of “Rhein-Zeitung”. Even if the Fifa World Cup after controversial standards forgive, yet it were their own. While the risk of instrumentalisation by Putin there. But we do not know so, as the conflict in Ukraine will develop. Maybe was a World Cup in Russia in four years even a chance for reconciliation.

RP Online:”Of all conceivable sanctions but the withdrawal of a sporting event in four years has the least effect,” Robert Peters writes on “RP Online”. To provide non-enforceable claims, belong to the inevitable background noise of the summer theater. They concern only the headlines. Russia will smile about this discussion anyway just tired.

British Press

Independent:”To punish Putin for the MH17 disaster we must boycott Russia 2018″ Jack Gilbert. What should the West’s reaction be? Economic sanctions on Russia of course. But we should go further than this and attack Putin where it really hurts — his pride.

The UK should boycott the 2018 Russian World Cup for the victims of MH17. We should refuse to send our players to the tournament, and send a clear message to the Kremlin that we do not stand for Russia’s aggressive expansionism.

By sending our players to the 2018 Russian World Cup, we would be validating the Russian state, and handing Putin a powerful propaganda coup. Despite what some people might say, sports and politics are connected. A boycott of the 2018 Russia World Cup would therefore be a powerful strike against Putin’s regime. It would also finally challenge the lunacy of Sepp Blatter and his governing of Fifa. But most importantly, it would be a just reaction to the 298 innocent civilians killed last Thursday.
