As oe24.at reported on Saturday, MVC Motors, a cooperation partner of the Bundesliga soccer club, has terminated the contract with Grün-Weiß.
A statement could already be read on the company’s Facebook page on Thursday. “As MVC Motors, we would like to distance ourselves from the recent incidents. The inappropriate statements made by some Rapid representatives contradict our corporate values,” it said. MVC Motors confirmed to 90minuten.at the end of the contract, which was originally scheduled to run until 2025.
After the videos appeared with homophobic and other offensive statements, the League Senate 1 initiated two proceedings against the Green-Whites – one against Steffen Hofmann, the other against Rapid in general and the players involved such as Guido Burgstaller or Marco Grüll as well as Kulovits. There is a risk of game or function bans and even a point deduction.
