Shanghai media look at the news voice, for Wang Frost in the World Cup elimination after the remarks, should fully respect the right of athletes to speak out publicly.
In the Women's World Cup, Wang Frost questioned in the post-game interview, "What about the qualifying round?" She confessed that this is not a bad thing, as facing up to the gap with the strongest teams is also a kind of growth. However, her comments triggered a strong rebuttal from Sports Weekly reporter Liang Ximing, who bluntly stated, "With such a mentality, this voice should be completely shut down."
Shanghai media pointed out that this is not the first time Wang Frost "cold water" on women's soccer. Previously, she had publicly called for support for women's soccer, not to disparage men's soccer, but to reveal the true face of women's soccer, and questioned the efficiency of the current training system.
Being conscious of the gap with others is the key to recognizing reality. Daring to laugh at oneself is a manifestation of love for life. Fan Zhiyi's bold words, "I don't even want to lose my face", are still impressive. But who can blame him for his confidence and love of himself? It is vital that athletes are given the freedom to express their views, because real progress cannot be achieved through empty talk. The only way to embrace a brighter future is to be honest about the issues.
