The anti-corruption storm in Chinese soccer has a new topic after the airport video incident. Recently, there were rumors that Hao Junmin, the former captain of the national soccer team, was also taken away for investigation. Later, media personality Zhao Zhen denied the rumor, "He doesn't go online much, this is really sitting at home, away from the sky."
Rumors open their mouths, and rumors break their legs. In the online world where everyone is a "microphone", the bottom line between right and wrong is gradually blurred, and the flow of traffic begins to favor events with grooves and explosions. Many things begin to ferment, the parties involved are inevitably affected in various ways, in this context, most of the parties involved have only two choices, one is to be silent, waiting for justice to come; the other is to fight back against the wall of sighs behind the screen, the cost can be imagined.
Based on the specificity of the industry, this phenomenon is constantly amplified in Chinese soccer. Soccer is a topic of public concern. Officials, players and coaches all live under the spotlight. In addition, the anti-corruption storm is increasing. There is a time lag between the detailed investigation link and the official notification, which gives rise to rumors and rumor mills that are exploited by people with ulterior motives.
It has been proven in the past that there are indeed such characters in Chinese soccer. They use black news and chaotic voices as their main means to gain a large number of fans and huge traffic in the wind and seize the opportunity to gain benefits that cannot be seen in the light of day. Their mission runs counter to the ideal of developing soccer. Although their behavior is beyond the legal yardstick, it is enough to be judged by the industry's morality and sportsmanship.
At present, a network V has been continuously banned, and rumors without evidence have been denied one by one by major platforms. Today's soccer anti-corruption storm is not only an encounter, but also a public opinion war. In the context of insisting on the correct direction, the relevant departments need to consider the mechanism of topics in the new media era. On the one hand, they use a heavy fist to crack down on criminals, and on the other hand, they use a quick knife to cut off the source of rumors and severely punish acts involving criminal issues.
Going back to the beginning of the thread, the law and controversy will clearly explain whether or not Ai Junmin has a problem. Until then, all subjective speculations are full of malice and fun. In the past, rumors from coaches to players, officials to referees have been included in the anti-corruption storm list, but the vast majority of speculations have been proved to be nonsense, which has become one of the obstacles to the normal investigation process.
The law is serious. If rumor mongers have no commandments, they will be duly punished. The eyes of the masses are bright. If they repeatedly make fun of everyone's intelligence, they will eventually become traffic outcasts.
There is still a long way to go in the fight against corruption in soccer, so don't let the rumors get off the beat.
