「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

運動員的教養

運動員的教養



運動這個消閑的活動,自從轉向專業化之後,投資在有潛質的幼苗,成為全世界的一股風氣。七八歲的男孩女孩,成為觀察對象,若被探子(Scout)發現有潛質,就會向父母監護人游說,去參加訓練營,去找專業教練,利用專業的培訓,希望有朝一日成才,轉成職業運動員。 但講到尾,就是可以“搵大錢“!


在外國首先父母家長,就被游說先付出金錢,去培訓子女,不是所有的孩子都生在富有家庭,不是每個家庭都能負擔,聘請專員教練進行培訓,但為了將來搵大錢,很多平常家庭的家長,都愿意節衣縮食,送子女去參加訓練班。得到成功的背後,裡面的感人故事,講之不盡,訴之不盡,聽之不盡,搵大錢的背後,是一段段血淚史。


在中國體育探子,不停在農村,小城市發掘”苗子“,把他她們從少小,就要離開父母,帶到簡陋的所謂培訓中心,利用土法苦練,希望有一天能進入省市級的體育隊伍,獲得較專業的培訓,再利用此為踏腳板,希望跳上國家級別的培訓中心,最終能夠代表中國出外比賽,贏得冠軍金牌,衣錦還鄉,裡面的感人故事,講之不盡,訴之不盡,聽之不盡,搵大錢的背後,是一段段血淚史。


這些孩子,有男友女,一早放棄基本學業,專心接受訓練,參與搵大錢計劃。一早離開父母,固然缺乏家教,而負責訓練的教練們,也疏忽對”苗子“的個人修養的灌輸,因為他她們都是靠苦練成功,個人修養欠奉。


《Bloomberg Sept. 13》An outburst by defending champion Serena Williams over a foot fault capped her loss to Kim Clijsters in the women’s semifinals at the U.S. Open.

Clijsters, the 2005 champion who came out of a two-year retirement a month ago, will play Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark for the title tonight at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

“Played probably the best match of my career tonight and it was the craziest too!” the Belgian wrote last night on her Twitter social networking site.

Serving to stay in last night’s match at a set down and trailing 6-5 in the second, Williams was called for a foot fault by a line judge on her second serve at 15-30, handing Clijsters two match points. A player’s feet cannot touch the baseline during a serve.

Williams turned to get another ball and seemed ready to serve when she changed her mind and walked over to the line judge, shouting and pointing her racket. As Williams walked back to start serving, the line judge reported the incident to chair umpire Louise Engzell.

The Associated Press reported that Williams told the line judge: “If I could, I would take this ... ball and shove it down your ... throat.”

After speaking to Williams and tournament referee Brian Earley, who had walked onto court after the clash, the umpire gave the American a point penalty because she had received a warning after breaking her racket on the court at the end of the first set. Tennis rules dictate that a player’s second code violation is a point penalty, according to the Web site of the U.S. Tennis Association, and this infraction handed the reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champion a 6-4, 7-5 loss.

Williams then walked over to a stunned Clijsters to shake hands, and walked off the court.

‘Unsportsmanlike’
“She was called for a foot fault, and a point later, she said something to a line umpire, and it was reported to the chair, and that resulted in a point penalty,” Earley said in a television interview after the match. “And it just happened that point penalty was match point. It was a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct.”

Williams, the second seed, appeared composed at a news conference after the match. She declined to say what she told the line judge.

“What did I say? You didn’t hear?” Williams said. She denied threatening the official, saying: “I’ve never been in a fight in my whole life, so I don’t know why she would have felt threatened.”

Williams, who was full of praise for the way Clijsters played the match, didn’t apologize for her behavior.

“How many people yell at linespeople?” she said. “If you look at all the people that kind of yell at linespeople -- players, athletes get frustrated. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that happen.”

‘Unfortunate’ Timing
Clijsters said the incident made it difficult for her to celebrate. As a wild-card entrant, she will be playing for her second major title tonight in just her third tournament since coming out of retirement, during which she had her first child.

“The timing is unfortunate,” Clijsters, who is friends with Williams, said at a news conference. “To get a point penalty at the time, it’s unfortunate. But there are rules. It’s just unfortunate that it has to happen on a match point.”



【明報專訊】涉嫌一句「拿球塞進你的喉嚨」,令今屆美國網球公開賽 的女單夢幻4強戰戲劇告終。衛冕的莎蓮娜威廉絲爭議地被判發球雙錯誤,讓對手克莉絲達絲 獲決勝分機會之餘,「細威」再遭司線員投訴她出言恐嚇,主裁判於是判罰細威1分,賽事亦隨即結束,剛復出的「阿甘」得以盤數2﹕0獲勝,晉身香港時間今早9時的決賽。

這場「前一姐大戰」因天雨屢次延期,要到當地時間周六晚上9時多才展開。細威首盤輸4﹕6,第2盤落後5﹕6和細分15﹕30之際,她的第2發球被指踩界違例,出現她今仗第4次發球雙錯誤,亦讓克莉絲達絲領先40﹕15,有2個決勝分機會。細威對判決大感不滿,向司線員怒罵,據報她所說的是﹕「如果可以,我會拿起這個XX的球,強塞進你XX的喉嚨中,殺死你。」

被判第2發球踩界
司線員隨即向主裁判報告,再召來賽事總球證,經過爭辯和商議後,由於細威第1盤已因擲球拍受到警告,因此罰她1分,正好成為克莉絲達絲的決勝分。細威於抗辯期間向司線員強調﹕「我從沒說過要殺你,你是認真的嗎?」她賽後亦堅稱﹕「沒有,我沒有恐嚇她(司線員)。我已絲毫記不起當時罵了什麼,這是說真的。」

否認恐嚇賽後拒道歉
無壓力犯錯多達31次、第2發球得分率僅32%的細威,拒絕為行為失控認錯。



新聞報導:Serena Williams told the line judge: “If I could, I would take this ... ball and shove it down your ... throat.” 因為裁判員說她發球時越界了。結果因為細威之前,發脾氣打爛球拍,加上責罵裁判員,被球證判罰扣一分,以示警戒,但這一分就是輸掉整個比賽的一分。


外國的體育明星,都有專業的公關培訓,教曉他們面對傳媒時,作出得體應對,做好公關形象。中國的很多金牌運動員,連被傳媒訪問,都語無倫次,詞不達意,最近中國體委經已留意,加以培訓,進步了很多。但內裡的就要從平常的生活觀察,”拍拍騾子“ Paparazzi 從沒有放過,任何揭發體育明星,他們糜爛的私生活。


英國 Football球星和巴西 Soccer球星,就不斷傳出,在酒店內攪性派對,烏煙瘴氣。美國的 Football球星也不遑多讓,更甚的一位參與”闘狗“而被判入獄的 Michael Vick,出獄後重投 NFL 的費城老鷹隊。


連 NBA的小飛俠 Kobe Bryant 也曾涉及強姦案,最後當然賠錢,得到庭外和解,不了了之。NFL Superbowl 的冠軍匹芝堡鋼人隊的 QB 四分衛 Ben Roethlisberger,也是帶著強姦的指控,還未了結,參加剛剛開季的美式 NFL足球賽。而英式足球的 C朗也是緋聞不絕,抖暑時間,傳出和名女 Paris Hilton約會,並沒有做好一個 Role-Model 模範生。


雖然不應該”一竹筶打一船人“,運動員都有好教養的好例子,但也不能否認,運動界卻存在不少,缺乏教養,表面風光的“渣滓”運動員。



後記:
至于莎蓮娜 威廉絲今次的舉動,被全世界口誅筆伐,有目共睹,細看“你喉”的短片,這位 linesman 司線員貌似是位亞裔女士,雖然不應把種族問題帶入體育運動,但不難令人懷疑,大美國主義的威廉絲,若見到司線員是位白人,會不會同樣出言辱罵呢?可惜遍查網上,都沒有司線員資料。

【明報專訊】莎蓮娜威廉絲辱罵司線員,除令她於美國公開賽女單4強出局,手尾還陸續有來。「細威」遭罰款1.05萬美元(8.14萬港元),是女網球手歷來最重罰款;大滿貫委員會亦繼續調查事件,細威或被禁參加明年的澳洲公開賽。 細威在周六晚之役因不滿被判發球踩界犯規,辱罵司線員「拿球塞進你喉嚨」,結果被罰1分,直接令她輸掉該仗,讓克莉絲達絲 晉身決賽。美網發言人昨日表示:「莎蓮娜威廉絲因在4強戰的不合乎運動員操守行為,被判最高罰款的1萬美元(7.75萬港元);另外她在第1盤尾段擲球拍,罰500美元(3900港元)。」罰款將從細威的獎金中扣除。 聲明續指:「大滿貫賽例允許大會繼續調查,研究威廉絲行為應否判成『嚴重違規』,是否須追加處分,調查已正式開始。」倘細威罪名成立將面臨停賽,可能被禁出戰明年初的澳網。 細威醜態成為美國報章口誅筆伐目標,賽後堅拒道歉的她經冷靜後態度軟化,強調事件源於「對網球的熱誠」。 【明報專訊】表現一向穩定的費達拿,今仗無緣美網6連霸,除了狄柏度表現出色外,他表現失準亦是關鍵。「費一哥」全場62次大意失誤,第1發球成功率只得50%、11次發球雙錯誤,加上他罕有地情緒失控,直接將錦標拱手相讓。 全場62次失誤 一向冷靜的費達拿在第3盤大發雷霆,指摘對手太遲要求使用鷹眼系統挑戰判決,他對球證怒吼道﹕「我在2秒後便要求挑戰,可是他卻在10秒後才提出。」球證勸他冷靜,費一哥卻罕有地爆粗回應﹕「別叫我冷靜,我不管你說什麼垃圾,別跟我提這他媽的規則。」 【明報專訊】英格蘭足總以入球後挑釁阿仙奴球迷及蓄意踩傷尹佩斯,昨日正式起訴曼城前鋒艾迪巴約,他隨時面臨6場停賽重罰。 對此,曼城領隊曉士為愛將辯護﹕「艾迪巴約絕無侵犯尹佩斯之意圖,球證當時看得一清二楚,而沒有任何判罰。」至於當日因艾迪巴約衝向阿仙奴球迷前慶祝,被雜物擲中受傷的保安員,獲贈簽名球衣「補數」。 至於周日將與曼城上演打戰的曼聯,領隊費格遜拒絕評論艾迪巴約應否受罰,卻指足總尺度應該統一,暗示2005年朗尼一掌推向當時效力保頓的賓希姆面部遭停賽3場,艾迪巴約亦應受罰﹕「球證判決尺度不一是球賽一部分,但你不會願意看到不一致的判罰。」 伸延閱覽: Serena Williams threatening linesman at US Open Youtube.com Serena Williams Outburst on Foot Fault Hands Clijsters Victory Bloomberg.com 細威恐嚇司線員出局「拿球塞進你的喉嚨殺死你」 Yahoo 新聞 細威罵司線員罰款一萬 Yahoo 新聞 細威或禁戰澳網 Yahoo 新聞 輸掉比賽不滿判決費天王爆粗 Yahoo 新聞 Roger Federer XXX in US OPEN 2009 Youtube.com 英足總控艾迪巴約 隨時重罰停6場 Yahoo 新聞 Adebayor's kick to Van Persie & Celebration Youtube.com

唔同意你的看法,
就如我之前所言,
修養是從小培養,
但不一定要在學校裏教,
從訓練中亦可以,
運動員從小就講求刻苦、紀律等等,
這亦是人格的培養之一!

之餘運動員亦是普通人,
有好有壞,
這不關他/她們從小接受訓練的問題,
我們不應該把運動員stereotype!

新鮮兄:我咪喺 conclusion 咁寫咗囉!
抄錄如下:雖然不應該”一竹筶打一船人“,運動員都有好教養的好例子,但也不能否認,運動界卻存在不少,缺乏教養,表面風光的“渣滓”運動員。

衰人度度都有,
不用講運動員啦!

"一早離開父母,固然缺乏家教,而負責訓練的教練們,也疏忽對”苗子“的個人修養的灌輸,因為他她們都是靠苦練成功,個人修養欠奉。"

你上面咁講就唔啱啦,
唔覺咁樣就免缺個人修養培訓喎!
唔好話無講過呀!

新鮮兄:正常家庭的孩子,在家要有家教,也在學校接受教育,雙管齊下。事實上很多的運動員沒有做好 role model,缺乏修養,文中已列出多個例子。你不同意也不能勉強你,唔喺完全無分歧,至可以做朋友嘅。
