In today's era of the convergence of sports and entertainment industries, every move of world-class star Messi can spark heated discussions around the world. Recently, the "breach of contract turmoil" caused by Messi's failure to participate in a friendly match has once again focused on the complex relationship between sports stars and commercial contracts, fan expectations and national emotions.

Professor Chu Yin expressed his views on this, emphasizing that it is necessary to distinguish between commercial breach of contract and personal moral character evaluation, and pointed out that it is not appropriate to easily elevate business decisions to the level of contempt for others.
Professor Chu Yin's point of view:
We return to this friendly that caused an uproar. As a business activity, the core of its operation is undoubtedly based on the spirit of contract. Messi's failure to appear as promised is indeed a breach of contract from a legal and commercial point of view.
Fans buy tickets to enter the stadium to a large extent for Messi, a superstar in international football, so we should fully understand the feelings of some fans who feel misled or have their rights and interests damaged.
In the actual process of rights protection, it is difficult to quantify the emotional loss of individuals and resort to law, and it is more necessary to rely on the event organizer to make corresponding compensation or explanation based on the principle of good faith.
Whether Messi will not be able to play due to injury, or if there are other reasons, it is unknown. But in any case, as a reserved and well-respected professional footballer, there is indeed a higher level of social responsibility and fan expectations.
Even if your physical condition does not allow you to participate in the whole process, if you can greet the audience in some form without affecting your health, you may be able to better ease the atmosphere of public opinion. It's not just about sportsmanship, it's also about respecting consumer expectations.
In response to Professor Chu Yin's views, different voices appeared on the Internet. Some netizens questioned Professor Chu Yin's identity and the importance of his views, and even linked it to the national position, believing that he did not show the so-called "scholarly spirit".
However, netizens who support Chu Yin called for everyone to remain calm and rational, pointing out that nationalist sentiment in the current society is easy to sway public judgment, thus ignoring the essence of the problem - that is, to follow the spirit of contract to resolve commercial disputes.
In fact, the rational attitude advocated by Professor Chu Yin is exactly what we need when discussing such public events. Excessive emotional interpretation can lead to distortion of facts, and linking commercial breach of contract directly to moral character and even national dignity undoubtedly magnifies the scope of the controversy.
In the context of China's rising rise, the public should certainly be confident and not complacent, and when judging the behavior of international stars, it is also necessary to take into account international practices and domestic feelings, and not be biased or blindly followed.
Write at the end
We need to face up to and uphold the principle of fair trade in business activities, and we also need to understand and guide the emotional demands of fans and the public, avoid emotional confrontation, and promote more rational social dialogue. Intellectuals and opinion leaders from all walks of life should adhere to the spirit of rational analysis and objective commentary in the complex public opinion environment, and strive to build a social environment that has both the spirit of the rule of law and warmth.
