Sports and human nature

Lê Vinh |

Sports that reflect human nature have been receiving a lot of attention recently.

When Federico Valverde blocked Alvaro Morata in the Spanish Super Cup a few years ago, many people were angry, but few people said that the Uruguayan player's nature was bad. When Carlos Alcaraz has consecutive scoring situations for the opponent in tennis, people know who he is.

Some players can "eat" a ball, can scold, disappoint their partner in a pickleball situation, and cannot confirm that they are originally bad. But if I repeat it many times, it is exactly the nature. Sports dont create human personality, just reveal it.

Sports are direct, without scripts, without editing time like in movies, and have no place to hide. Human emotions in sports are often nud, primitive and therefore, their true nature is often obvious.

So, saying that sports are places where human nature is most clearly "exposed" is also true and not necessarily true. Sports arouse fighting instinct and the desire to survive - similar to what humans faced thousands of years ago - but in a more civilized form, with rules and audiences. When a player is bad, it is not because they are bad, but it can be because of the "survival" in the game, promoting the "child" part to be stronger than the "person".

Negative reactions are sometimes not permanent in nature, but they are a portrait of a person under extreme pressure. The portrait himself may not have expected it. Nowadays, social networks not only record but also greatly enhance the nature of sports people. A small action can be edited, shared and commented on tens of thousands of times, leading to the formation or prejudice about a person's personality in just a few seconds of image.

Therefore, when fans shout or criticize an action on the field, it is also necessary to remember: It may just be a cut - not the whole scene. Everyone can't control themselves at times. We should look deeper into the problem and remember that social networks are not the referee.

Sports are a fair game, because they give people the opportunity to... correct their mistakes. A defeat does not end a lifetime. A bad behavior that cannot be denied during the entire training process. Just like in life, the root is not falling, but in how people stand up - and how they stand.

Because of that, sports are not just for show. But to review. People's charm. Check yourself. In real values.
