Aside from all things at the badminton level, one question is, is it necessary to accept legal sanctions for breaking the law?
At present, it is only said that the report of the company to which they belong confirmed that Kento Momota and Kenichi Hotan were indeed involved in gambling related to the underworld, and the court did not make a formal judgment, but it is estimated that the judgment is almost the same result. As badminton players, once the charges of black gambling are settled, it means the badminton career is completely over.
The word that really stimulated the public in this incident was "disqualification from the Olympic Games". Perhaps the contradiction lies in whether the player's career should be ruined because of his personal morality. However, their behavior is not a private moral issue such as extramarital affair, but an illegal act involving black gambling. Even if the Japanese Badminton Association doesn't deal with it, at this juncture, when Rio started, they are estimated to be still squatting, and they can't go to Rio without being disqualified.
There is a paragraph in the news link given by the title owner that Japanese players must sign a pledge to join the national team. I think there must be a clause about the image of athletes in the pledge. From the perspective of badminton association, it is also very simple, and this trend cannot last long.
If the two men make a mistake this time, they can still escape the sanctions and represent Japan, then in the future, all powerful and influential athletes in Japan can do whatever they want, because they set a precedent and act according to the Japanese temperament. Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.
By the way, by the way, the coach of the Japanese badminton team is Park Joo bong, a Korean. This gentleman is strict in running the army. At the beginning, Kenichi Tanaka, the number one badminton star in Japan, was expelled from the team by Park Joo bong because he didn't actively train. How can he tolerate two players who violate the law and discipline this time?
From this point of view, I have to admire the practice of the Japanese Badminton Association. I went to Park Joo bong as a coach and won the Thomas Cup. To fully support Park Joo bong's practice, he did not hesitate to break his wrist and expel Tianer Kenichi, successfully welcoming the rise of Kento Momota; Before this Olympic Games, Kento Momota and Tian Erxian were decisively recalled to return to China for investigation. Along the way, the Japanese Badminton Association does not condone the mistakes made by a single star player. Everything is based on the development of Japanese badminton, and it is foreseeable that Japanese badminton will blossom and bear fruit like Japanese football in the near future, and it may even start a ruling period.
However, with such a strict Japanese team, why did the two leading figures go on making headlines after another without looking for trouble? If they don't die, now the Japanese team has two world-class men's singles, plus a world-class women's singles Okuhara hopes that the heyday of the Japanese team may even come early.
Finally, I'll open a brain hole with great fear. Kenichi Tian and Kento Momota are both leading figures in Japanese badminton. If the eldest brother goes in, will it be unbearable to give up a string of younger brothers?
