E-Sport Verband Bayern hat dies direkt geteilt
Federal state associations for esports criticise government and unanimously call for non-profit status The lack of recognition of the non-profit status of esports is upsetting the esports associations in Bavaria (E-Sport Verband Bayern), North Rhine-Westphalia (e-sport.nrw) and Schleswig-Holstein (E-Sport-Verband Schleswig-Holstein (EVSH)). Their message to politicians is to keep their promises and create certainty so that Germany remains internationally competitive. "It is disappointing to see that esports, which was already clearly anchored in the coalition agreement, has once again not been taken into account," explains Sandra Bloy, President of the EVB. "The international environment clearly shows that esports is a serious and worth-promoting industry and community," adds Bloy. "Germany should not fall behind." "During this legislative period, representatives of all governing parties have repeatedly stated that the non-profit status of esports will be granted. The fact that this has once again not been taken into account not only leaves the many volunteers in esports out in the cold, but is also likely to cause lasting damage to trust in political promises," says Andy Franke, President Landesverband für E-Sport NRW. "Esports not only deserves the recognition of non-profit status, it is long overdue. Tens of thousands of people in Germany support the structures of esports on a voluntary basis. In clubs, associations, schools, university groups and other organisations," says Phillip E. (Ebben), 1st Chairman and Managing Director of the EVSH. https://lnkd.in/e8bHrMMr
