The issue of naturalizing players in countries in Southeast Asia has become hotter in recent years, in which Vietnamese football welcomes 2 Brazilian-born factors, Xuan Son and Hoang Hen. Speaking about this topic, Madam Pang - President of the Football Association of Thailand, declared that she does not follow the path of naturalizing players without indigenous origins”. And as usual, some people feel normal, because that is a way to protect their football identity, others jump up like being stung by a bee, accompanied by criticism, evaluation, judgment...
From a social perspective today, that has also become... normal, even when the "neighbor"'s problem is thousands of kilometers away, it does not affect our family matters.
Putting the story at the center for discussion is not wrong, because like all other aspects of social life, giving opinions to express perspectives, based on each person's frame of reference. But when raised to debate, refutation, sarcasm, criticism, there are limits that are violated.
Many people look at other people's choices with too hasty a mindset to conclude. And of course, when the value systems are not the same, it will be a fierce conflicting story. The question is, why do we spend so much energy and focus on other people's affairs? To show understanding, knowledge? To show ego, or to distinguish the right path, the wrong path?
There is no choice that is completely right or wrong if placed in different contexts. Madam Pang, when in office, made such a statement. But in the future, what if successors have the opposite choice? Who knows.
Many things in life are not a problem with a unique answer. Each person, each organization is on their own journey, with different priorities and limits. The difference is not the problem, but a natural part of development.
So, we don't need to judge which choice is better. Instead, we can learn to observe and understand, because the diversity in choice can promote each other in the development process, while making every journey worthwhile.
