Like many other issues, some people object, some agree, some choose to stay silent, but above all, society is once again stirred up by a seemingly private statement. Many people felt self-conscious, saying that this statement showed classism, away from reality.
But if we look back, the story is not necessarily right or wrong, and there is no need to divide the sides to support or refute. Because in the end, each person, each family has different circumstances. Income of 10 million VND in other urban areas compared to 10 million VND in rural areas. Some people are willing to spend a third of their income playing their favorite sport, while others prioritize taking care of essential needs in advance.
Pickleball, or any other sport, is not at fault, not the starting point for controversy, but should be viewed as a physical training activity, improving health, connecting the community. That is not the basis for classifying people.
From a positive perspective, the fact that a new sport for Vietnam is mentioned a lot, whether by noise or controversy, shows that society is paying more attention to mobilizing and practicing. And that is a good sign.
Sports should be a common land for all classes and ages. The important thing is not to play any sport, but to feel happy, healthy and suitable for your conditions. Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, no one has the right to impose standards on the lives of others - even more importantly, income cannot be used as a criterion for judging a game.
Controversy only causes us to spread our energy on unnecessary things. And tolerance, understanding and respect for other people's choices are what make society healthier. Because a sentence can make others uncomfortable, but a positive perspective can make many people happy.
