On the evening of the 10th, the national football team challenged the Australia team away, and there is no match on the CCTV program list at present
The battle of Australia: the battle of 1710, the silence of CCTV and the shouts of fans
On October 10, at 17:10, the Chinese men's football team will challenge Australia at the Adelaide Oval. The third round of the top 18 of the World Preliminary Tournament should have been the focus of attention, but because of CCTV's "absence", it was overshadowed by a peculiar color. There is no such competition on the program list, is this an accident or inevitable? Let's take a closer look.
1. The contest of 1710: a battle that cannot be lost
The performance of the Chinese men's football team in the previous two rounds can be described as "miserable": 0:7 loss to Japan and 1:2 loss to Saudi Arabia. Australia's record is not much better, losing 0:1 to Bahrain and drawing 0:0 by Indonesia. The two teams are currently sixth and fifth in Group C respectively, and this game can be described as a back-to-back battle that cannot be lost. It's like two students who are frantically tutoring before the final exam but still failing, desperately trying to pass the final quiz in order to graduate.
2. CCTV's silence: the game of high-priced copyright and "boycott".
The official explanation for CCTV's absence was that the AFC's agency, Asian Football Group (AFG), had made an overly high offer, and CCTV decided not to buy broadcast rights in order to resist unreasonable price increases in the sports rights market. It's like if you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and find that the price of vegetables has been speculated to sky-high prices, so you resolutely choose to go home empty-handed in protest. This kind of "boycott" behavior not only reflects CCTV's determination to protect its own interests, but also triggers the public's thinking about the chaos in the sports copyright market. However, does this "boycott" really work? Does it really protect the interests of the fans? This is worth pondering.
3. iQIYI's struggles: high membership fees and poor viewing experience
iQIYI, as the only broadcast platform in China, charges a high membership fee (9 yuan for membership or 18 yuan for a single purchase), and there are problems such as jamming during the live broadcast, which has caused widespread complaints. It's like if you pay a lot of money for a concert ticket, only to find out that the view from the seats is very poor and the acoustics are terrible, which is undoubtedly unacceptable. iQIYI's move has undoubtedly exacerbated the dissatisfaction of fans and exposed many problems in the sports event broadcast market.
Fourth, the cry of the fans: the "abandoned" national team?
In the face of CCTV's "absence" and iQiyi's "high price", fans expressed different opinions. Some people think that there is always a way to watch it, and it doesn't matter if it is rebroadcast or not; Some people also believe that CCTV's non-broadcast behavior represents the "abandonment" of the national team to some extent, after all, it is the national team and should be supported. These two views reflect the different attitudes and expectations of fans towards the national team and the broadcast of sports events. It's like if your child goes to a school sports day, you can not watch it live, but you still care about the results of his game.
5. Conclusion: Behind 1710 is the thinking of the entire sports industry
Behind this game, it is not only a football game, but also a torture of the entire sports industry chain: Is the high copyright fee reasonable? How do you balance commercial interests with fan interests? How can we better ensure the fan experience? These problems deserve our in-depth consideration, and they also require the joint efforts of the entire sports industry to solve them. 17:10 is not only the beginning of a ball game, but also a deep reflection on the future development of sports. Let's wait and see how this game will end up and what kind of mark it will leave on the hearts of fans.
