Competitive sports do not allow fans to dominate the field

2025-01-16   

Recently, a special meeting on the ideological work of the General Administration of Sport system and the governance of chaos in the "fan circle" was held in Beijing. Director and Party Secretary of the General Administration of Sport, Gao Zhidan, stated at the meeting that we must focus on the key points of the struggle, take the governance of the chaos in the "fan circle" as an urgent task, strengthen team management, publicity and guidance, enhance risk prevention and control, and focus on key groups. We need to enhance our abilities in risk prediction, risk resolution, and risk prevention. Cheering for the glory of competition and cheering for idols in one's heart has always been a landscape of sports events. However, in recent years, the fan culture in the sports field has gradually deviated from the healthy track, not only eroding the public's enthusiasm for related events, but also bringing unnecessary troubles to athletes' training and life. Some fans trample on the spirit of sportsmanship and booe athletes; Enthusiastic fans are blocking airport hotels, posing a safety hazard to athletes; There are frequent "verbal battles" on online forums, and smoke is rising everywhere... The chaotic atmosphere inside and outside the arena is worrying. It is urgent to sweep the chaos of the 'fan circle' out of the arena. To reverse the public's perception of 'traffic'. Whether in the sports or entertainment industry, the chaos in the food industry often cannot escape the clutches of "traffic first". With the development of attention economy, many people associate the commercial value of public figures with quantitative data such as the number of followers and rankings, which also conforms to certain market logic. However, when it comes to the field of sports competition, the situation is not entirely the same. The achievements of athletes are always reflected in the arena. Without the prerequisite of competition results, any amount of data traffic is just a castle in the air. In recent years, the booming development of sports industrialization has led to an increase in product endorsements and event announcements for many athletes, further blurring the boundary between athletes and entertainment stars. Some fans mistakenly portray athletes as entertainment symbols, attempting to influence event training and team arrangements through data traffic. This extreme 'field control' behavior not only damages the team harmony among athletes, but also seriously offends the spirit of sportsmanship. It should be recognized that excellent athletes always rely on absolute strength, and standing on the podium can win attention and cheers from the world. Clarify the boundaries of fan behavior. True love must be related to responsibility and restraint. When it comes to idol behavior, following and following favorite athletes or celebrities is understandable, but it must be done with moderation and not exceed the bottom line. For a long time, there have been countless public figures who have suffered heavy losses due to the crazy behavior of their fans. Some people miss out on job opportunities and end up on the brand's' blacklist 'as a result; Since then, some people have lost their popularity and been "beaten by everyone" on the Internet; The airport chase and high-speed car chase make people even more vulnerable... Who would want such irrational family members who compare themselves to celebrities and athletes? Currently, many athletes have disbanded their fan groups and set a safe distance from their fans; Weibo and other public social media platforms have also set up dedicated channels for reporting chaos in the fan circle. Looking ahead to the future, it is necessary to establish rigid requirements for the typical chaos of the "fan circle". By combining case reports with public appeals, we aim to capture typical examples and deter fans, guiding them to pursue celebrities rationally and strengthen self-restraint. (New Society)
