When the Mirror Is Ignored: The 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Culture of Humiliation
本站:原文:
guó jì国际tǐ yù bǐ sài体育比赛cháng cháng常常bèikàn zuò看作quán shì jiè全世界yì qǐ一起qìng zhù庆祝deshí kè时刻

International sporting events are often seen as moments when the whole world celebrates together.

People hope that in the games, people from different countries, religions, and cultures can enjoy football together and value effort, teamwork, and respect.

However, before and after the opening of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, some players were detained at airports, and some referees, officials, and fans were denied entry even though they had travel permission.

zhè xiē这些shìrànghěnduōrénjué de觉得gōng píng公平ràngrénkāi shǐ开始sī kǎo思考wèi shén me为什么yǒu xiē有些rénhěnróng yì容易tōng guò通过biān jìng边境yǒu xiē有些rénquècháng cháng常常bèihuái yí怀疑bèiwéi nán为难shèn zhì甚至gǎn dào感到diū liǎn丢脸

These incidents made many people feel that it was unfair, and they also led people to ask: why do some people pass through borders so easily, while others are often suspected, made to struggle, and even made to feel ashamed?

wèn tí问题zhǐ shì只是ān quán安全jiǎn chá检查gèng shì更是wǒ men我们zěn me怎么kàn dài看待réndezūn yán尊严

The problem is not only security checks, but also how we view human dignity.

The author believes that violence is not necessarily only hitting people; it can also be a culture: one that makes some people used to controlling others and makes some people silently accept inequality.

If international sports truly want to represent peace, inclusion, and equality, then humiliation should not be allowed to become the rule.

The World Cup is not only about football; it also reminds us what kind of world we want to build.
