ASIAD 20 is taking place in Japan and most Vietnamese fans can only watch on television, grasp information through media channels. The era of very fast information speed seems to also make people's reflexes and reactions super fast.
The fact that 2 shooters of the Vietnamese shooting team lost a spot in the men's and women's team 10m air rifle final on September 22nd is an example. The information appeared, along with the fact that 2 athletes from the host country Japan - ranked right behind in the qualifying round, were allowed to enter the final shootout (then won a Bronze Medal), becoming the basis for social networks to become a place to vent anger, vent resentment and create conspiracy theories about the organization of the host country.
However, after receiving more information, the reason why the Vietnamese shooter was eliminated was a technical error (clothing), with regulations on pre-, post-, and random checks already in place, at other events, not just ASIAD.
Furthermore, when professionals who understand the strict regulations of this sport provide a deeper and clearer analysis, the law is the law and the decision of the Organizing Committee is not outside the framework of evidence at the time of inspection and regulations. That is, with the same outfit, at 2 times, 2 spaces, 2 different impact conditions, technical errors can completely occur.
Even, like the 2 Vietnamese shooters, technical shifts occurred only in the period before (still qualified) and after the qualifying round.
Many people sometimes rush to evaluate because of emotions, but when they understand the problem, they can re-examine it and consider it a lesson for themselves, even if outsiders do not care.
Conversely, many people consider it normal. Judging people, judging society - always starting with skepticism and negativity - becomes an instinctive reflex. And more dangerously, even when the problem has been clarified, they do not need to understand, still maintain a one-sided, harsh view. And spread it...
An individual may be less influenced, but many such thoughts combined will be like waves accumulating negative energy. And in the social media environment, how can they be completely prevented!
