The 2022 Snooker Champions League is in full swing, and the world's top sixteen players are also taking the opportunity to prepare for the next Masters, but one player is under attack from public opinion outside the arena.
Now ranked 7th in the world, snooker Grand Slam winner Sean Murphy has been in a very bad situation in his recent life, as he was verbally abused by the outside world and fans due to inappropriate remarks made during the British Championship, and this incident has not been alleviated by the passage of time.
Recently, Sean Murphy was interviewed by the Subway Newspaper, in which he was helpless to say that since he made controversial remarks about amateur players, he was "threatened to live" and maliciously abused on his personal social platform every day, and his life became very bad and in a worrying situation.
The previous british championship incident believes that most fans have also heard about it, Sean Murphy in the first round of the tragic defeat of Chinese youngster Scarlett SiJiahui, after the game bluntly said that amateur players should not appear in the professional arena, losing to amateur players made him feel extremely angry.
At that time, the incident immediately caused an uproar, not only the media and fans, but even many snooker stars also stood up to accuse Murphy, and under the pressure of public opinion, Murphy finally personally and publicly explained and formally apologized to Scarlett.
However, Murphy's remarks this time are obviously a bit serious, because he still insists that he does not agree with the view that amateur players appear on the field after apologizing to Scarlett, which directly makes the British local snooker fans unacceptable, resulting in more and more fans joining the "insult" Murphy camp.
Murphy said in an interview: "I didn't know that my remarks would cause me so much trouble, I just said the truest feelings in my heart, but everyone is obviously making a big fuss, and I have never seen them pay such a lot of attention to snooker."
Not long ago I was stuck in traffic on the road, and someone next to me recognized me and he actually made a verbal personal attack on me directly through the car window, I just made some remarks after the race but I didn't expect to be crazy to this extent.
Although Murphy has apologized to Scarlett, his insistence that amateur players are not worthy of being on the field has clearly angered British fans, and although snooker is a niche sport in the world sport, it is irreplaceable in the hearts of British fans.
Murphy said: "Until now, I still receive all kinds of verbal abuse on social platforms, and even people make "death threats" against me, and my life is completely covered by this bad thing.
I've been labeled a loser and a loser by them now, and I wish I hadn't said anything after losing the game, but hopefully it's just a life episode that won't affect my previously perfect career.
However, Murphy finally said that although his remarks at the time were somewhat inappropriate, the idea that amateur players could not participate in professional games was the view he had insisted on for many years, and was not deliberately aimed at the youngster Scarlett.
Through Murphy's interview, it can also be seen that the Attitude of British fans on this matter, but until now it is really unexpected that they have been threatened with death, and it seems that Murphy's next career will definitely think twice before he makes his own remarks.
