TV channel “Match! Football 3 censored today's matches of the German football Bundesliga.
According to Sports.ru, the TV channel interrupted the broadcast of the game Borussia — RB Leipzig at the 13th minute.
Journalist Dmitry Nizovtsev published a recording of the fragment. Broadcast host Igor Kytmanov says: “Unfortunately, we have to interrupt and interrupt our broadcast for reasons beyond our control. Because, as is commonly believed, football is out of politics, but in the German Bundesliga, alas, this rule is not always respected. What exactly was the reason for interrupting the broadcast is unknown.
In addition, earlier during the Freiburg-Bayern match “Match! Football 3″ included footage from the stands if anti-war slogans or inscriptions in support of Ukraine appeared on billboards.

For example, at the 76th minute of the game, the advertising banner showed the inscription Peace Now! and the flag of Ukraine. In the broadcast of «Match 3» at this moment they include a frame from the stands. Moreover, the score and time of the match are not shown on the screen. This fragment was probably recorded before the start of the game, as there is a similar shot in the broadcast before the start of the match.
