– Why are you such a – in a global perspective – small nichesport so much attention in the media?
– It is, after all, not football or another major sport, it is all about.

so writes Thomas R in one of the many thousands of comments that have been written about the Danish gold on Facebook. But where most of the cheering and praises, then it seems Thomas, who must focus on the many write – and send-hours, the Danish media have used the Danish national team in denmark:

– I’m just trying to put it in perspective.

– F. ex. won the 16-year-old Clara Tauson in the last week of the Australia Open in a much bigger sport in an international context – but without getting much credit.

– And in the UK and Southern europe and Russia is handball also a small nichesport.

– But the problem is that the 2 statskanaler DR and TV2 has completely failed the major sports and left it to the commercial TV-channels and so do many people settle for nichesporten handball!

– On the German TV gad, the f.ex. not even send the final but sent the skiing, says Thomas, who has scored 40 answers. Most disagree:

Handball – 28. jan. 2019 – at. 12:17 of the Crazy gold-audience: Greater than EM 1992

– It is the dumbest thing I have heard since Joachim B Olsen said about poverty in Denmark, perhaps In the family, writes Pjevs V f.ex.

Handball is a big sport in Denmark.

– the Game is also invented here, so it’s not so strange.

– And to claim it is not a major sport is just downright stupid, writes Michelle H, and Jesper E disagrees:

– WHAT???

Handball should be in the highest degree to be our national sport, not football, writes Jesper, but what do you mean?
