"If a person pays attention to sports, he must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences of winning or losing. This is the charm of competitive sports." This is the first response of Chen Meng after winning the championship. Rice circle culture.

Real old national table tennis fans

must not understand

The women's singles final between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha

Why will the Chinese win the championship

be ridiculed by the Chinese?

Why would someone give Chen Meng the middle finger at the Olympics?

Why do some people accuse Chen Meng of not winning the championship?

...

In fact, it was not Chen Meng

nor Sun Yingsha

who was wrong, but the one who put his talents and dreams up for sale

"Fanquan" sports

On August 7, the Ministry of Public Security Post: After the Olympic table tennis women's singles final, some netizens posted offensive and slanderous remarks. Among them, a netizen posted a post slandering relevant athletes and coaches, causing a negative social impact. The Beijing Public Security Bureau took immediate action and arrested the suspect He Moumou (female, 29 years old) on August 6. She confessed to venting her emotions online and making remarks that slandered relevant athletes and coaches. The Beijing Public Security Bureau has detained him under criminal detention in accordance with the law, and the case is under further investigation.

Some people who have come all the way to Paris call them "fans", which is obviously not accurate enough. They don't watch football, they are just "fans" of individual sports stars. Their existence has puzzled the fans. It turns out that there is a kind of fan who likes to hug together, like to take pictures, like to refresh the screen, like to curse... but they don't like to watch football.

And such "rice circle" behavior

In the Chinese sports world

it is no longer limited to table tennis

In the women's ten-meter platform final on August 6, Chinese team member Quan Hongchan successfully defended the title , helping the Chinese team achieve five consecutive championships in this project. Chen Yuxi won the silver medal. So far, the Chinese diving team has won 5 gold medals in this Olympic Games.

"Chen Quan's combination"'s championship battle

has come to an end

Anyone who pays attention to diving knows

Under the influence of some extreme fans

Chen Quan and Chen Quan can achieve such results

In fact It's not easy

It all started with last year's National Diving Championships. Quan Hongchan, who lost the game, said in the post-match interview that she did not lose unfairly and that her performance today was indeed not as good as Chen Yuxi. However, some so-called fans angrily criticized the referee, believing that the referee deliberately lowered Quan Hongchan's score. Quan Hongchan, who was only 16 years old at the time, could only persuade fans to "stop talking" over and over again. Afterwards, Chen Yuxi, who won the championship, was bombarded on social platforms, and the private messages written in the background were offensive.

In the Chinese sports world

the “penetration” of fandom culture has been around for a long time

In April last year, Fan Zhendong ’s hotel room was illegally invaded by a strange woman. He wrote in the statement afterwards: “The intrusion should be The incident was extremely harmful to me. To ensure my safety, I have decided to stop any form of contact, including receiving letters." Fan Zhendong has repeatedly called on fans to maintain rationality and boundaries and not to get involved in fandom habits.

Similar things also bother Wang Chuqin . In October last year, because the filming video was circulated on the Internet, Wang Chuqin wrote: On the field, I am an athlete, and outside the field, I am also an ordinary person. I hope everyone can respect each other’s privacy, keep a distance, and give me some private space to breathe. .

Those fans who have changed their nature will not care about privacy, let alone achievements, because what they like has never been sports, not even the athletes themselves, but a kind of "delayed gratification" similar to spring planting and autumn harvest, a kind of "delayed gratification" similar to spring planting and autumn harvest. A "taste of life" of dreams and miracles.

"Voice of China" once reported that a table tennis fan applied to join a player's fan group, but the application to join the group has not been approved. Later I learned that as long as they follow or like other national table tennis players, administrators are not allowed to join the group.If this operating system of rice circle culture is applied to Chinese sports, it will appear more blind, narrow-minded, weird and unreasonable than in the entertainment industry.

How to define

What is the fandom culture in today’s sports world?

In the field of sports, if you practice for two and a half years, there is a high probability that you will not even make the school team. Everyone knows that an idol will never become a hero, so a group of believers who happened to be there turned to believe in real heroes. Theoretically, they can follow anything as long as they are "in a hurry."

This is a kind of "market culture" that has arisen among netizens in the fan circle on the Internet

At the moment in August

The wind in the fan circle is blowing to Paris

From table tennis to diving, from Chen Meng As for Chen Yuxi, in recent years, the so-called "rice circle" culture has been like a wild horse, deviating from the scope of normal entertainment activities. Purely subjective personal likes and dislikes have become the only criterion for measurement, and it has completely exploded in the Olympics. While it harms athletes, it also pollutes the spirit and soil on which Chinese sports depend.

In Tokyo

In Paris

On every inch of land where Chinese players arrive

For a long time

We have been waiting for a heavy rain

On August 4, Weibo officially issued an article, commenting on the situation in recent days. A total of more than 12,000 pieces of illegal content were cleared up in the discussion of relevant competitions, such as trolling and malicious attacks, and more than 300 illegal accounts were banned in stages until they were permanently banned, depending on the severity. Douyin also issued an official statement. During the Olympics, the platform cleared more than 38,000 pieces of inappropriate content related to sports fans, and banned 445 accounts from stage to permanent bans. This is the destined ending of the rice circle culture. Two years ago, the words Fan Zhendong used to reject extreme fans became the most honorable ending to this farce - I wish everyone a happy life.

Becoming a hero is not a must for ordinary people. Even if you don’t have talent, don’t aspire to be another person. Be yourself in every arena of life, and still love life after recognizing the truth of life. This is enough. .
