There were disdainful remarks by Patrick Peterson before, and discriminatory remarks by Darnell Docter later. Later, Vernon Davis, Logan Newman, Marcus Lynch and others all tweeted. launched a counterattack; of course, Lu Hong later gave a powerful counterattack with his two remarks in front of reporters and on Twitter.
All the interactions between the two parties were displayed on social networks and publicly displayed, especially between Vernon and Docter.
One sentence after another, sentence after sentence, began to flood the screen. The two people completely ignored the other teammates, just like shrews scolding the street, they started to scold each other regardless, and the more they cursed, the more unpleasant they were. The scene was spectacular. It triggered a cry of exclamation, and all netizens on Twitter strolled over to watch.
Gradually, fans of the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals began to quarrel on the Internet.
49ers fans expressed strong dissatisfaction with Docter's racially charged remarks. Everyone united and condemned it with overwhelming force; while Cardinals fans argued that it was just a joke, and I support Docter's remarks and believe that in this week's game, the Cardinals will completely defeat the 49ers in the main wing.
This time, the language among the fans became more vulgar, more powerful, and more violent, and the scene began to become chaotic. All the dirty words were flying all over Twitter. Some words turned into star symbols, and some No, those strange remarks were overwhelming, and gradually turned into a big melee.
Subsequently, San Francisco 49ers players such as Aldon Smith, Colin Jones, Ted Ginn, Kyle Williams, Kendall Hunter, Patrick Willis, etc. also came one after another. Twitter expressed support for Lu Ke and strongly linked to Doct’s inappropriate remarks.
Not only the 49ers, but also more and more players from the Cardinals have begun to join this fight. They have accused the 49ers of not being able to afford to lose. Apart from words, there is no actual action at all. In this week's game, they will Another easy victory.
The quarrel between the fans from both sides escalated further. It gradually spread from Twitter to Facebook, YouTube, photo walls and other social media, and broke out into an all-out war. The two teams, which had no grudges against each other before, were now completely at odds with each other. They became furious and began to yell at each other and start tit-for-tat confrontations.
The further escalation of the matter occurred on the oil pipeline.
One user posted a video of what happened at a store in Phoenix. Two fans wearing Cardinals jerseys had a verbal conflict with three other men in casual clothes. The 49ers and Cardinals were frequently mentioned between the lines; and it almost turned into a physical conflict. In the end, mall security immediately The ground stopped when necessary, and thus an accident was avoided.
The video then adds an explanation of what happened:
Those three men in plain clothes were San Francisco 49ers fans. In a part not recorded in the video, three people discussed this week's game at lunch. They believed that the 49ers were bound to win on the road, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from two other Cardinals fans and launched a rebuttal.
Then things got out of control.
After the video was released, the arguments between fans from both sides on the Internet became more and more out of control. They had even forgotten the focus of each other's original argument, and just belittled each other, despised each other, and discriminated against each other.
Now, the whole thing is going off the rails bit by bit and getting ugly, but the real highlight comes when team manager Trent Baalke shows up.
Trent issued a statement on his semi-official Facebook page, which roughly means:
San Francisco is an inclusive city, and the United States is an inclusive country, blah blah; and the NFL is a league full of infinite possibilities, blah blah; Lu Mao stands on the bill for a Chinese player. This is the progress of the times, and those Prejudice and discrimination will never be tolerated.
To put it simply, Trent unswervingly expressed his support for Lu Ke, asked the league to find out the matter, and also used the official account of the NFL and Roger Goodell.
This time, things have reached a new level, and officials have to intervene.
Since Lu Ran entered the league, everyone knows that this day will come sooner or later. Just like the first black player stood on the game banknotes, the first Chinese player to step onto the basketball court will inevitably cause controversy——
If it were just a rotation of players, the controversy might be smaller, but with Lu Wei as the starting quarterback, the attention is naturally different. What's more, Lu Su has achieved incredible results in the past few weeks. It will eventually come, which is a matter of time.
Now, it's finally here.
Roger Goodell publicly stated that there is zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, especially in the NFL. They will launch an investigation to find out the ins and outs of the matter and impose corresponding punishments to express the league's attitude. .
Although everyone knew that this was an official statement and there would be no results in a short period of time, and it might even be just official polite words, Doct still couldn't hold it in anymore, and couldn't suppress his anger at all, so he released it as soon as possible. Twitter expressed his disdain and contempt, "Those cowards and sissies will only hide behind adults and are too cowardly to challenge. They really vividly illustrate the ultimate in shamelessness."
However, this tweet was deleted in less than five minutes after it was posted.
Despite this, some netizens still cleverly left screenshots as evidence. Everyone knows that Doc made a special point, obviously aimed at Lu Ke, condemning him for turning this matter into an official incident of the team and the league.
Doct posted this tweet and then deleted it, which is the best proof——
Either it was the pressure from the Arizona Cardinals or the pressure from Docter's agent. Regardless of the situation, it means that the matter has completely escaped the player's personal control and has risen to a more serious level. Everyone must be careful in their words and deeds.
Maybe the league will take it seriously, maybe not.
But what is certain is that the tension between the two teams and the fans of the two teams has completely deviated from the track, far exceeding expectations. The next game is likely to turn into a fight to the death. A strong fight. There is no shortage of motivation for both players.
At least the tip of the iceberg can be seen in the reaction of San Francisco 49ers fans.
Fans headed by Chris Wilson and Jonathan Baldwin issued a formal call for more fans to join them and go to the away game to cheer for their home team, even if they cannot enter the stadium. They also want to show their support up close and personal outside the stadium.
If this is a one-day rivalry, then San Francisco 49ers fans are already prepared for it to gradually spread from the Internet to real life.
The influence and radiation of this incident completely alarmed the entire league. All news media focused their attention on it, and it even became an incident that cannot be ignored during the season.
Reporters dubbed it the "Davis-Docott Incident" because it grew out of an altercation between the two players on Twitter and became the start of the "49ers vs. Cardinals" confrontation. , the smell of gunpowder in the same area began to become more male-like.
More importantly, for the first time, the league has truly faced up to the issue of "Chinese players joining the league" and it has risen to the level of race. Opposition and discriminatory remarks were instantly exposed to the broad daylight.
Even now, racial discrimination against black people by whites still emerges in endlessly, especially in the central and southern regions. Serious problems have always existed and will continue to exist.
Now, the focus of controversy surrounding Lu Ke has gradually entered a higher level. From a positive perspective, this is also the inevitable result after Lu Ke achieved such outstanding results, because he finally has the threat. In other words, this can be seen as a side affirmation of Lu Xunli.
Leaving aside topics at the league level and social level, what is certain is that neither the 49ers nor the Cardinals want to lose this game, and have even left the playoffs, adding more players who cannot lose. reason.
People always say that the stadium is like a battlefield, and the sworn enemies in the same district are like sworn enemies. In the past, this was the case in every game between UCLA and USC; but Lu Ling only participated in one of them, and only in the last quarter of the game. Therefore, strictly speaking, Lu Ke was more like Be a spectator, not a participant.
This time, Lu Ke was completely involved.
Originally, Lu Su was worried that these gossipy news might affect the preparation process for the game, and any potential distraction was inappropriate; but then Lu Hao realized that his competition experience was not distracting enough, and everything was a matter of time. A double-edged sword, it can be a bad thing, but it can also be a good thing——
For example, now. The Twitter incident turned into a huge motivation. The entire team was enthusiastically preparing for the game. Every player was full of desire and couldn't wait to teach the Cardinals a lesson. There is nothing like the first factory. Defeat can make it easier to shut up the opponent, especially at the opponent's home court.
Not just fighting for a playoff spot, not just fighting for victory, but more importantly, they are fighting for their own dignity, their own pride, and this is a battle that no one wants to lose. .
Before officially heading to Glendale to start this week's guest trip, Lu Su has one thing that must be done:
Accept the competition tasks, count the basic points, and complete the short-term sniff.
