On March 8, Beijing time, Wei Shao's wife, Nina, continuously updated the social media, accusing her family of being molested by fans and death threats. Westbrook has not performed well since joining the Lakers this season, has been the target of criticism from fans many times, and now it seems that some crazy fans have not even spared his family.
"I'm now being harassed almost every day because of basketball games, they're verbally abusive and deathly threats against me and my family, they're expressing what they call 'truth, and it's really hard for me to accept that." Nina wrote on social media: "I have devoted my life to encouraging and supporting others to live their true selves, to find the right to speak and peace of mind, but I do not do these things to get attention, to get clicks, or to show myself... Basketball is a sport, it's my life, it's my kids' life, it's my family's life, and humiliating anyone for any reason is not the solution to the problem. ”
Nina also talked about her husband, Wei Shao. "He's going to be himself, I don't need to defend him, I love him, I support him, I'll accompany him through all those unjustifiable hates and negativity." I hope that those good and talented players will not be subjected to this type of humiliation and insults because of the games they like. ”
When it comes to death threats, in fact, as a Lakers player, it may not be unfamiliar. Danny Green, who conceded a key goal in the 2020 Finals, revealed that he had suffered death threats. He said he was really stressed and anxious, and he didn't even dare to read private messages and messages on social media. His fiancée and family were also affected. In the end, the Lakers got their wish to win the championship, and Green said he could get a good night's sleep too.
Further ahead, Blake, who once played for the Lakers, also received death threats, and in 2012, Blake also received death threats because he conceded a key goal, that is, in the series against the Thunder.
Not only the Lakers players, but even the Lakers female owner Jenny Bass was not spared. In June 2020, Jenny Bass posted a death threat letter she had received. The letter read: "Dear XX – after 60 years of being an avid Lakers fan, I'm going to say now, let those overpaid XXX and NBA go to hell." Go to hell and be with XXX Kobe Bryant. —Joe-XXX"
To such a death curse, Jenny Bass responded: "After much deliberation, I have decided to share this letter I received on Monday so that everyone can see that hatred is real, that this is what is happening in the world today, that it is real, and that exists." To Joe: Does sending this letter make you feel better? Really, all you're doing is wasting your time, energy, and stamps. Why don't you look in the mirror and see what's ugly about yourself? Because I refused (to write you back). I've been getting similar letters all these years, and the advice I've always gotten is to ignore it, which I've done before, but won't do it anymore. ”
Basketball shouldn't be so hateful, it's just a job for players, and death threats are really too much. What do you think? Welcome to leave a message to express your opinion.
