Prior to this, the public was disgusted by the fact that some members of the media and former players of the national team used to arrange pre-planned "programs" on the air, acting in tandem with each other and pretending that everything was real. On the surface, they claim to be doing it for the good of the national team and youth training, but behind the scenes they are actually maximizing their own profits. There is no problem with earning money per se; the crux of the matter lies in what their starting point really is.
In addition, the topic of "the profitability of women's soccer" has once again aroused a sensitive discussion and become a sharp needle, with the two sides of the opinion of support and opposition divided. Some fans believe that women's soccer players are not easy to pay, and there is nothing wrong with participating in live broadcasting after the end of their careers; while others believe that live broadcasting is nothing to be ashamed of, and that it is a personal choice. But the income of female soccer players (especially national team players) is already considerable, and it makes no sense to emphasize it too much and create hotspots.
As things stand now, more and more fans are supporting the "villain's" point of view, and the income of the players of the women's national team is actually still quite substantial. Compared to the golden age of men's soccer, there is naturally a considerable gap, but compared to the world average, there is still no problem.
Chinese soccer itself is relatively fragile. If too many internet "fish and dragons" are added, especially if there are more bad influences, the bad consequences will far outweigh the good. Let's hope that the past keepers of the goal won't make the same mistakes as others, and that their sadness is genuine, and that their next actions will truly contribute to the progress of soccer.
