The weight of ‘7 Days’ that represented the country and the controversy over the ‘cotton bat’ disciplinary action

Fans shouldn’t be sincere.

The conclusion of the ‘drinking scandal’ that shook the baseball world was concluded. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) held a reward and punishment committee on the 7th and issued a disciplinary action against Kwang-Hyun Kim (SSG), Cheol-Won Jeong (Doosan), and Lee Yong-chan (NC), who were caught up in controversy over drinking at an entertainment bar during the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) tournament.메이저놀이터

Based on Article 151 of the association rules, ‘Damaging Dignity’, KBO provided 80 hours of community service and 5 million won in fines to Kim Gwang-hyeon, who visited the entertainment bar twice, and 40 hours of community service and 3 million won in fines, respectively, to Lee Yong-chan and Jeong Cheol-won, who entered the bar once. punished

According to the announcement of the reward and punishment committee, none of the drunkenness the day before the match raised in the initial suspicion and the attendance of the waitress were confirmed. The key is ‘drinking during the national team call’. Although the reason is not a ‘dignity damage act’ for which the level of sanctions is specified in Article 151 of the Code, the reward and punishment committee considered it as ‘a case of causing social controversy’ and decided to punish in accordance with other examples (gambling, violence, drugs, drunk driving, etc.). Since the punishment level was not specified, there was no choice but to be controversial about the ‘cotton bat’ punishment.

It is not the day before the game, but it is pointed out that their lax mindset was revealed only by the fact that they drank during the call-up for the national team. It took a week for the national team to arrive in Tokyo, a fierce battleground, and finish the final game against China in the group stage. In the yard where the first round elimination was virtually confirmed due to the worst performance, not being able to endure the remaining days is a regretful enough part.

It is also a problem that the place was an entertainment bar. Even if there was no meeting of waitresses, it is regrettable that it should have been there, just like the old saying, ‘don’t tie a hat under a plum tree’. If it was a drink to alleviate the anger over the defeat in the Japanese War, it would have been no problem even if it was in the accommodation with beer purchased from a convenience store.

There is a message that players should not miss in the controversy over the severity of punishment. In a situation where the competitiveness of Korean baseball is constantly being pointed out, it contains the wishes of fans who want players participating in international competitions to have a stronger sense of mission.
