At the Beijing Winter Olympics on the evening of February 9, Former Olympic champion Wang Mao and former head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team and famous mouth Huang Jianxiang served as commentators for the men's 1500m short track speed skating quarterfinals. The tournament was contested by her former disciple Sun Long. But apparently Sun Long's performance disappointed her. At the beginning of the game, Sun Long was still in the lead, but soon Sun Long was thrown away by the opponent, until the sprint stage Sun Long looked very listless, and finally Sun Long failed to qualify.
Seeing that the performance of the former disciples was so bad, Wang Meng was also angry and criticized Sun Long fiercely in front of the national audience in the live broadcast room. Wang Meng said: "When I was still the head coach, when I was playing in Germany, Sun Long was like today's game, lacking the courage and attitude to fight forward, as soon as the game was over, I directly bought a ticket and sent Sun Long home - not just to send him back to China, but to send him home, back to his provincial team!" ”
In response to Wang Meng's public criticism of Sun Long in the commentary room, it also caused a controversy on the Internet. There are critics who support Wang Meng, on the grounds that Sun Long's attitude to the game that day is really very poor, and both as a senior and a former coach are qualified to criticize his problems.
But there were also voices against Wang Meng. Some media people said that as a guest of the commentary, Wang Meng should not publicly criticize a contestant in such a fierce manner during the commentary. After all, In the commentary room, Wang Meng's identity is a narrator, and the job responsibility of the narrator is to be objective and fair, without any personal position tendency. Some netizens said that during that competition time period, your job is to help the audience interpret the game, analyze the game from a professional point of view, and help the audience to better appreciate the game. Your selfish, completely uncontrollable emotional venting behavior is disrespectful to the audience and is suspected of occupying public resources to do whatever you want.
At present, Wang Meng's public anger against Sun Long is still continuing to ferment on the Internet. After seeing Wang Meng accuse Sun Long, many netizens also began to follow suit and go to the Internet to tyrannize Sun Long. When he saw that the situation was getting more and more serious, Wang Meng also felt the negative impact he had brought to Sun Long. Wang Meng said: I love him deeply and are responsible, I have deep feelings for him, I watched him grow up, but what do you say he does? You can't beat him online, and if you talk about him, then I certainly don't want to.
At present, the development of this matter has a negative impact on the 21-year-old Sun Long. As a young athlete, he still has a long way to go in the future. Although Wang Meng repeatedly explained that she was deeply in love, the responsibility would be fiercely criticized. But it is still very inappropriate for Wang Meng to angrily criticize a young athlete in front of the national audience.
It is not terrible that Sun Long made mistakes as a young player, and I hope that he will not leave a psychological shadow because of this storm. Here, we also call on the public to stop online violence and give Sun Long a private space. We hope that Wang Meng, as a public figure, should pay attention to his own words on the public platform. Because your words and deeds will have an immeasurable negative impact on others and society.
