Li Meng, the player who won the second place in the World Cup in women’s basketball and won the team in the group match, was criticized by a small number of people after the match. Because of a high fever, Li Meng missed the semi-finals and finals. After the finals, when she posted a post on social media to celebrate winning the silver medal, there were many questioned messages in her comment area.
Someone said, “the silver medal has little to do with you, and it still stands in the C position.” Someone said, “after a few years, you will regret it. I am really disappointed with you, which is like being a deserter.” Others said, “fever, can’t you play with a shot?”
For these remarks, the bold Li Meng chose to go back directly: “Please have a high fever of 39.4 ℃ and short clothes shorts running for 10 thousand meters and 35 minutes, and the live video will be witnessed by fans and friends.” Be a kind person.”
These “sprays” are both ball blindness and “heart blindness”.
It is said that they are ball blind because their remarks show that they do not know about this sport. They don’t know the team’s decision-making. The coaching staff and team doctors have a higher level of evaluation and decision-making power on whether the players can play in the field. This is not the matter that the players themselves have the final say; they also don’t understand that in such ultra-high-intensity competitions, a 39-degree high fever will seriously affect the players’ competitive state and may even have a greater impact on the athletes’ physical health, regardless of whether they give injections or not; they didn’t know much about it. Li Meng averaged 14.6 points in five group matches and was the scoring king of the team, without her winning the highest 23 points in the match against France in the 1/4 final and the 4th three-point goal in the company, the way for the Chinese team to advance would be much harder, physical reserves before the semi-finals and finals are bound to be greatly reduced.
What’s more, team sports, sharing honor is a natural thing. Not to mention that Li Meng had already made great contributions. Even if he was just an ordinary player and a substitute, he was also a member of the team who worked hard and contributed to the team’s preparation and lineup thickness, qualified to share medals and applause.
Saying that they are “blind” is because their remarks show that they do not care about and love specific athletes, turn a blind eye to their efforts, and do not care about the health of athletes, they are more concerned about abstract honors and achievements, and once athletes have a little disagreement with them, they will be questioned and criticized.
Although such audiences are very few, people are not unfamiliar. Similar remarks can also be found in the comment area of athletes of many other events. Yao Ming has experienced it, Yi Jianlian has experienced it, and Su Bingtian and Liu Xiang have also experienced it.
Admittedly, sports do have certain professional barriers. Ordinary people may not know how much the impact of high fever on the state is, how difficult it is to recover from Achilles tendon rupture, and how random and uncontrollable the recurrence is, I don’t know how many professional evaluations athletes have to go through to judge whether they can finish the race when they have old injuries to the Achilles tendon, I don’t know how tangled the athletes themselves are-they want to stick to it more than anyone else, and they have endured the pain that most people can’t stand.
In addition, the decision-making power for athletes to play is in the team, and the cooperation with advertisers is also decided by the team. National team athletes are more likely to fulfill their obligations than to enjoy the benefits. These “common sense” were also out of public view for a long time, which caused a lot of misunderstanding and became the “oral reality” of some people attacking excellent athletes “.
However, even considering the factors that lead to misunderstanding and misunderstanding easily by professional barriers, at least, some people should have at least empathy when evaluating athletes and should maintain at least respect for things other than their own majors, you should leave room and bottom line for your remarks.
Fortunately, when Li Meng was attacked, more netizens either chose to speak up or choose to actively “popularize science”, while very few netizens who “do not enter the oil and salt” and are at the top of the line, managers of social networks also made restrictions and punishments on their aggressive remarks in a timely manner and played a positive guiding role. I believe that in the near future, the public opinion environment of athletes will be more improved.
Don’t let those hard-working athletes feel cold.
