In a small interaction in the football world, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo recently sparked heated discussions on the Internet for liking and commenting on a dynamic post by former Real Madrid teammate Mesut Ozil on social media. Among them, the most lively and dramatic is the group of "plum blowing groups" active on the Internet, who staged a ridiculous farce with a very ironic double standard attitude.
A few years ago, Ozil was boycotted by Chinese fans because of some unfriendly remarks about China, as a conscientious Chinese, these are beyond criticism! But Ronaldo's recognition of Ozil was originally an expression of friendship between two former comrades-in-arms, but it attracted many fierce artillery fires from "plum blowing". They usually chant the slogan "respect the personal feelings of the players", but now they have turned into judges and lashed out at Ronaldo's actions. This distorted logic, as if in their worldview, the meaning of Ronaldo's existence is only in comparison with Messi, rather than his own independent values and interpersonal relationships.
What's even more dumb and laughable is that the double standard of "Mei Blowers" is vividly expressed. They turn a blind eye to Messi's differential treatment in exhibition matches between China and Japan, and even praise him, but when it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, they immediately put on a harsh face, portraying ordinary social interactions as a drama of loyalty and betrayal. This kind of absurd behavior of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing ordinary people to light lamps is undoubtedly shocking.
All in all, this incident not only exposed the bottomless star-chasing mentality of some "Mei Blows", but also revealed their extreme double standards in evaluation standards. A true fan should understand and respect each player's emotional expression and personal choice, rather than narrowly seeing it as a bargaining chip for idol competition. After all, in the world of football, in addition to fierce confrontation and competition, there is also that same precious friendship and respect. And for those who are keen to play with double standards and infinitely amplify contradictions, it may be appropriate to put aside prejudice and return to the understanding of football itself and the human care of players.
