Sports rights are extremely restrictive as to where footage can be broadcast.
As such it's not uncommon for broadcasters to use footage they have the rights to on their domestic bulletins, but block it on international rebroadcasts. For broadcasters (like ARD) that make their news bulletins available globally online, the online copy has to be similarly blocked.
This is often seen on Sky News on YouTube. As that feed is available worldwide they sometimes opt-out of the sports bulletins shown in the UK and replace it with pre-recorded segments. It was also common for BBC News to use footage on domestic bulletins, but stills on News Channel coverage that was being simulcast with BBC World News.
