"If I remotely knew what these idiots wanted from me, it would be all the easier for me to understand," said the Hoffenheim owner after bizarre Bayern scenes.
Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hopp has told those who protest against his backing of the Bundesliga club that he will not stop attending matches.
Saturday's 6-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich was halted during the second half after visiting fans held up banners insulting Hopp.
After the referee took the players off the pitch to wait for the banners' removal following appeals from the Bayern players, the two teams saw out the rest of the match by passing the ball among themselves as a show of solidarity towards Hopp.
Bayern head coach Hansi Flick and chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge apologised after the match for what they described as "ugly" and shameful protests.
Hopp: "I can't explain why they are so hostile towards me"
Speaking to Sport1, Hopp said: "If I remotely knew what these idiots wanted from me, it would be all the easier for me to understand.
"I can't explain why they are so hostile towards me. It reminds me of very dark times.
"I don't want to talk to these people. It's pointless. They live in another world. I don't want to and I can't talk to them, not at all. I don't know what to say to them.
"Why shouldn't I go to the stadium anymore? The people who do this are the ones who should stay away."
"We're used to things. You get attacked on the internet. You encounter incredible hatred there, and also in the stadiums. But this weekend – that was a culmination," he said to Sport1.
"Ultras are given too much power. The clubs are afraid. They [the ultras] are not for football, but against it. They have to get out of the stadiums."
Former Bayern and Germany star Stefan Effenberg added: "The DFB [German Football Association] and the DFL are responsible. Everyone knows the problem, but nobody does anything."
