Local Competition
In the town of Landsberg, like many other small southern Bavarian towns, football has never been the dominant sport. The local ice hockey club, EV Landsberg 2000, currently playing in the 2nd Bundesliga (II), is much more popular and successful. Against this, the TSV has a hard stand in attracting support and sponsorships.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or competition:
“Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
