Maybe i don't understand the sentence, but does this mean that 47,1 % of the German population don't want any soccer on TV ?

Can't tell you, they did not publish the exact question. Maybe they asked for permanent soccer on TV or if there should be more? I think more than 52.9% are watching soccer at a WC, so this answer can't really be true.

Maybe it was that they wanted soccer on free tv instead of Premier? Just a thought.
