On August 10, well-known football media person Zhao Zhen talked about Guo Tianyu, who recently joined the Thai League, through social media. He said, “I heard that this time they may use severe punishment, all involved will be banned for life, to serve as a warning to future generations.”
Zhao Zhen wrote that he had drafted a statement about Guo Tianyu’s case yesterday, but thought better of it and abandoned it. He heard that this time they may use severe punishment, all involved will be banned for life, to serve as a warning to future generations.
In addition, the media person said that he personally believes the best basis should be the judicial judgment. For example, the ban period should be twice the length of the prison sentence. If the prison sentence exceeds 10 years, they should be banned for life. The judicial system’s penalty should be the best standard for the nature of the involved individuals. There are indeed cases where individuals actively manipulated matches for profit, which is egregious and deserves a lifetime ban. But there are also several situations. Some are due to long-term unpaid wages and desperation, some are due to friendship pressure, and some are coerced by veteran players.
The media person also said that it is easy to severely punish those who make mistakes, but it will also lead to the impression that they are bad people who do bad things. It is difficult to reintegrate those who have made mistakes, because it requires more effort from our system and ourselves, to prevent the same thing from happening again. Throwing them out is always the easiest solution, but isn’t our goal to see Chinese football on the right track?
