In early September, the craze of Curry's trip to China sparked a frenzy among countless fans, but at the same time, there were also some controversial incidents. Last night, Curry arrived in China, and outside the hotel, hundreds of fans gathered in Chengdu, the first stop of his trip, to welcome the NBA superstar. Among them, there is one thing that has caused a certain amount of controversy, that is, a fan pulled Curry's clothes at the scene, and then suspected of starting a scolding battle with other fans in the group.
The reason for the incident was that when Curry walked into the hotel, the fan suddenly reached out from the crowd and grabbed Curry's clothes. Although on-site security responded quickly to protect Curry's access to the hotel, the episode still sparked a lot of discussion among fans and the media. More attentive netizens found that the fan posted a first-person video claiming to be "King" on Douyin, and the user's ID turned out to be "Lebran23James", which made people have to suspect that his identity was a James fan.
James and Curry are very good friends, but because the Cavaliers and Warriors have faced each other in the Finals many times in the past few years, their fans are often antagonistic and "rivals". After the user named "Lebran23James" was exposed, he instantly became the focus of public opinion, and many Curry fans believed that this was a deliberate "provocative" act by James fans.
As the matter unfolded, the user with the IDs "king" and "Lebran23James" started a confrontation with Curry fans in the WeChat fan group. According to the screenshots of netizens, the user scolded many fans in the group, and his words were vulgar and filthy. The two sides blamed each other in the group, and an online scolding war quickly escalated. This kind of situation is actually not what we want to see, and star chasing should be based on rationality and respect, rather than showing their loyalty through extreme behavior.
The act of dragging Curry on the spot has obviously crossed the line, causing not only unnecessary distress to the idol, but also to the surrounding fans and security personnel. And on the Internet, provocative ways to cause disputes are even more disrespectful to the fan community. Although the competition between idols is fierce, the communication between fans should be more civilized, respect each other's preferences, and avoid unnecessary conflicts. In the process of chasing stars, there should also be a sense of proportion and a bottom line, and rational star chasing can make the interaction between idols and fans more healthy.
I hope these fans can be more rational! Let the next few stops of Curry's trip to China go more smoothly!
