Recently, the famous football player Messi stood on the cusp of China.It evolved from a business activity to a political storm, and staged a fierce discussion on a athlete.
The team of the United States Federation International Miami was invited to Hong Kong and the Hong Kong League Player team to play a friendly exhibition competition, but as one of the main players in the team and the most popular Argentine star Messi, because they did not play, causing the audience to be strong.Dissatisfied, after the event, the team and Messi expressed anger with a boo.
The anger of the audience was extended through the Internet, causing many Chinese netizens to start a word of verbal section of Messi. At the same time, some Hong Kong politicians also expressed their dissatisfaction with Messi. For a while, Messi except for the world's most popular player.Instead, there is also the most popular player status in China.Not only did the Chinese Football Association delete Messi related news on the official website, Chinese officials also announced the cancellation of the friendly match between the Argentine football team in March.
Throughout this, it is essentially the dispute between the consumer rights and interests of the audience and the organizer of the exhibition competition.Messi promised by the organizer will definitely play and buy tickets to enter the venue, but in the end Messi did not appear on the court and was inaccurate.
However, under the help of some people with concerns, this incident rose to political issues. Messi was not interpreted as an insulting behavior of China. In addition, Messi, in the entire Hong Kong itinerary, including avoiding political figures after the game, including the postscending figures.In contact and being maliciously stepped on Hong Kong and watched the low Chinese of the low Chinese.
In fact, participating in various friendship or performances is the normal schedule of the football team. Such games can not only provide additional game experience for the team, but also increase the team's exposure and attract more fans.It is also the same as the invitation party. In addition to the above benefits, it is also an excellent business opportunity. The organizer of the Hong Kong Performance Competition is the magazine Tatler Asia. It has been entrusted to the Hong Kong government and has strong support from the Hong Kong government in terms of money and venue.
Not only the Hong Kong government wants to improve Hong Kong's image through this show, injecting vitality into the downturn's economy. At the same time, a group of politicians in Hong Kong also want to make this event and take Messi to enhance their own image and increase their political chipsTherefore, Messi's unsuccessful appearance has led us to see many Hong Kong officials asking him in a hurry.
However, in the friendly match, the main players are not playing. After all, the focus is on the two teams instead of individual players.When the friendly match is promoted to become a business exhibition match, the appearance of the star players will become an important part of contract negotiations. The invitation partner will not only be the team's side.The corresponding salary, after all, the competition outside the league often belongs to the special work, and the execution depends on the contract agreement between the players and the team.
Therefore, when facing consumers, the organizer of this exhibition is guaranteed to sell high -priced tickets on the spot, but when facing the team, they did not spend more money to ensure the appearance, which actually constituted fraud.Although the organizer unilaterally claimed that the contract required Messi to play, but did not show any clear evidence, and at the same time, the organizer did not issue any requests to Messi's team or Messi himself.Fang wanted to bully and conceal it, with small.
The strange thing is that as the party's party, many Hong Kong politicians do not hold accountant from the organizer, but have blamed a player on the Internet to incite national emotions through compositions to raise a simple business activity to political issues.Only Deng Jiabiao, a legislator of the Hong Kong Federation of Industry and Industry, grabbed the organizer of Shenyin back to the table, asking the other party to refund the matter for misleading consumers, and disclose the details of the contract to explain the public.
A football player can become a public enemy in a day within a day. This is really ridiculous but funny. In addition to prove that public opinion is easily incited, it can be seen how much the political figures can cause the operation for face, which can cause how big can it causeInfluence.This incident will be extended again. It will be damaged not only the face of others, but the international reputation of Hong Kong and even the mainland, and become a laughingstock.
