真不能怪人家多想,韭菜國劣跡斑斑嘛:

“WTA發表這項聲明之前,遭到網球迷與球員相當嚴厲的批評,其中包括獲得18座大滿貫賽后冠的球星艾芙特(Chris Evert),她在網路上號召以主題標籤「」()發文,獲得回響。

艾芙特今天發推文說:「的確,這些指控令人感到非常不安,彭帥14歲我就認識她了,想必我們都很關切,這是人命關天的,她在哪裡?她安全嗎?誰有她的下落,不勝感激。」”

翻白眼:

"WTA(國際女子網球協會)今天發聲呼籲,彭帥的指控必須獲得全面、公平、透明的調查,而且中共不應該審查,外界對彭帥的人身安全感到擔憂,主席賽門(Steve Simon)稍早接受《紐約時報》訪問表示:「我們已經接到包括中國網協在內的多個消息來源透露,她現在安全、沒有受到人身威脅。」

不過賽門也說:「我的理解是她在北京,但我無法確認,因為我沒有直接和她交談。」包括WTA官員以及現役球員,沒有人能聯絡得到彭帥。"

每天逛Yahoo!首頁時, 若美國本土沒啥大新聞或突發事件, 中國相關新聞報導最多可以佔三分之一強且大多不是正面下標. 這股反感趨勢在今年尚未停歇, 日韓那邊據傳也有類似現象, 戰狼國形象差恐怕會持續好一段時間:

{ The stern talk from WTA and its chief executive Steve Simon, who has praised Peng’s “courage,” is a sharp contrast to the IOC’s effort to tread carefully. Could it be a harbinger? “Unhappiness and even anger at the leagues and companies that yield to Beijing have been accumulating outside China,” Ho-fung Hung, the Henry M. and Elizabeth P. Wiesenfeld professor in political economy at Johns Hopkins, told me in an email. “Sooner or later the image damage to their brand would reach [a] point that they could no longer ignore.” }

全世界都知道韭菜國固有特色:

"特赦組織中國問題研究員阿卡德(Alkan Akad)表示:「國際奧會已陷入險境,他們原本應該極為謹慎,避免加入粉飾可能侵犯人權狀況的安排。」

「以往我們曾看過各種類似事例,當事人別無選擇,只能說出別人要他說的話。」"

WSJ這篇WTA叫停所有在中賽事的報導,簡單用一段就把IOC裡外不是人的尷尬說明白。當然,WTA執行長的微言大義也是值得摘要引述的:

"The IOC’s role in smoothing out the Peng situation comes as China as it prepares to stage the Olympics there in February. The event has already drawn plenty of criticism for China over various issues, including the country’s treatment of ethnic minority Muslims."

“In good conscience, I don’t see how I can ask our athletes to compete there when Peng Shuai is not allowed to communicate freely and has seemingly been pressured to contradict her allegation of sexual assault,”

“Given the current state of affairs, I am also greatly concerned about the risks that all of our players and staff could face if we were to hold events in China in 2022.”

大家生氣氣~

"針對澳網禁止球迷穿支持彭帥T恤的決定,擁有18座大滿貫金盃的娜拉提洛娃在推特寫道:「這真可悲。世界女子職業網球協會(WTA)真是孤軍奮戰!!!」文末還附上「彭帥在哪裡」的主題標籤。"

"維權人士在眾籌平台GoFundMe網站發起募捐以製作更多T恤,不到兩天就達成1萬澳元(約新台幣20萬元)的目標金額。

維權人士麥克斯.莫(Max Mok)告訴澳洲廣播公司(ABC):「我們要印1000件T恤,看他們擋得了多少觀賽群眾。」"
