Raptors’ Chris Boucher thinks sports betting has worsened NBA fan criticism
Chris Boucher认为运彩加剧了球迷们批评
Fan interactions with professional athletes help make sports special, except
when that privilege is used negatively, which is becoming a recurring trend
amid the legalization of sports gambling.
Toronto Raptors power forward Chris Boucher detailed some of his dealings
with basketball fans on the latest episode of the Hustle Play podcast,
revealing he’s received plenty of hate-fuelled criticism via social media.
It is something he feels has worsened since sports betting became legal in
Ontario last April.
Now, Boucher has been unfairly attacked repeatedly on Twitter and Instagram
over what fans perceive as poor performances.
球迷能与职业球员有所互动，有助于运动赛事，除非这种权力被人滥用上，然而在运彩合
法化的过程中，这种特权出现了反复滥用的趋势。
多伦多暴龙队员Chris Boucher 在最新一期的 Hustle Play 播客中透露，他在社交媒体
上收到了大量充满仇恨的批评。 自从去年 4 月运彩在加拿大安大略省合法化，他觉得情
况已经恶化。在 Twitter和Instagram 上，有球迷因Boucher在场上表现不佳而攻击他。
“It's just people want to put you in trouble,” Boucher said. “People want
you to do what they want and what they see you for. And that's the issue. And
the betting is not going to make it better now with the parlays and all that.
“Somebody said 'I chose the wrong slave today.' They literally sent me that
message. I had to read it. I couldn't believe it.”
“他们只是想找你麻烦。他们希望你做他们想做的事，做他们眼中的你。这就是问题所在
。通过关投注等，不会让事情变得更好。”
有人说‘我今天选错了奴隶(Slave)。’
“他们真的传了给我这条信息。不得不去读这讯息。 我简直不敢相信。”
Boucher said the fan was upset because he only received five points from the
6-foot-9 forward when he needed 10 to cash his bet.
With these incidents on the rise league-wide, NBA players are becoming less
inclined to interact with basketball fans at arenas in fear of receiving
backlash in a public setting. Though that doesn’t apply to all 30 fan bases,
it happens far more often than it should.
Boucher说球迷很不爽，因为他需要Boucher在比赛中，得到十分才能赢钱，而Boucher只
得到五分。
随着这些事件在联盟不断增加，NBA 球员越来越不愿意在球场与球迷互动，因为他们害怕
在公共场合受到强烈批判。 虽然这并不适用于所有 30 支球队球队，但它发生的频率远远
超出预期。
“And now, guess what, the players now they don't really mess with the fans
as much,” Boucher said. “We're lucky we're in Toronto, and we got the best
fans. But I'm saying, imagine if you get messages like this. Now, you don't
really want to— you don't know why that person is talking to you. I need you
to score 10 today.
“Do I really want to talk to you now? Because if I score eight, you're going
to flame my Twitter, my Instagram, and everything.”
“而现在你猜怎么样，球员们现在不会真正搭理球迷了。 我们很幸运在多伦多，我们有
最好的球迷。 但你想像一下如果你收到像这样的私讯。 现在，你真的不想，也不知道那
人为什么要和你说话。 他可能在对你说 ‘我今天要你得 10 分’那我还要跟你说话吗?
因为如果我得了八分，你就会到我的所有社交软件去喷我。”
As a player, Boucher says the hateful comments will eventually crawl under
your skin after a certain point. And when that happens, you could react in a
way that is completely out of character.
“It gets to you," Boucher said. "Now it's what, you're going to delete all
your social and all that? Now you're losing your life, the life that you'd be
living. And everything changed.
“So I could see how somebody could lose their mind over this really clearly.
If you don't have the right people around you and if you don't have the right
motive and the right intention on everything you do, you could lose that
easily.”
作为一名球员，Boucher 说仇恨的评论最终会在某个时刻去影响到你。
当这种情形发生时，你可能会做出不符合你性格的反应。
“这会影响到你了，所以现在是，要删除所有社交软件吗? 失去你的生活，然后一切都改
变。所以我很能理解有人因此而失去理智。 如果你身边没有合适的人陪伴，如果你做的
每件事都没有正确的动机和意图，你很容易就会失去理智。”
Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal, reportedly being investigated by the
Orlando Police Department over an alleged altercation with two fans, knows
all too well how aggressive spectators can become.
The police report says one of the individuals targeted Beal over losing a
$1,300 bet, prompting the All-Star guard to turn around and confront him. It
also alleges that Beal swatted at the man’s head, knocking off his hat.
The alleged victim told police that he wants charges filed against Beal.

希望对Beal 提起诉讼。
