The contrast of winning the professional basketball championship in Busan KCC

There have been a lot of angry posts on the free bulletin board of Jeonju City Hall. It was not about politics or people's livelihoods. The ignition point was that the professional basketball team Busan KCC, who left Jeonju for Busan last year, won the championship. It was a basketball team in their hometown until last year, but winning the championship in another region ignited a sense of loss among fans. They know well that their voices are echoes without echoes, but they had no choice but to express their deep heartbreak.

Let's try to translate some of the comments from citizens. "It breaks my heart to see you win with the Busan KCC, not Jeonju." (Mr. Hwang) "Do you know what you have done? I have been rooting for the basketball team for more than 20 years." (Mr. Park) "Jeonju City blew away one precious piece of sports, culture and capital from the citizens of Jeonju. Even old memories." (Mr. Hwang)

Their feelings are "abated," "Are you still trying to attract a second division team?" and "KCC victory is a good thing." The title of the article is "Juju City, a mockery of Jeonju City." Sports folk' complaints against the decision-makers in Jeonju City are straightforwardly revealed.

Professional basketball KC has been established as Jeonju's luxury brand since 2001. Jeonju Gymnasium was small in size, but was located in the city center, so it was accessible, and local fans' enthusiasm for cheering was the highest in the country. Fans watching professional basketball on weekends were happy, and the benefits of professional sports combined with the leisure time of modern people were not bad for local governments.

The team also displayed good performance. During the former coaches Shin Sun-woo and Heo Jae, they continued their tradition of winning the championship title, and before this season, they recruited Choi Jun-yong to predict a box office hit to the extent that they were called a "super team." With Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, and Ra Gun-ah, and even Song Kyo-chang, who was discharged from military service from Sangmu, stars gathered in one place to mobilize fans.

However, Jeonju City underestimated the potential of professional sports, one of the pillars of citizens' sports welfare. They also thought it easy to change a professional club into politics. Contrary to what they had promised during his predecessor, the newly appointed mayor seemed indifferent to basketball. It was a critical decision to build a second tier professional baseball stadium instead of a new stadium.

KC's team was in a different position. In Korea, running a sports team covering professionals and amateurs is not for profit. Rather, investing in deficits has a social contribution. Under these circumstances, there was pressure to build even a gymnasium, and crucially, he lost trust when he felt that basketball was being neglected by the new head of the local government. Eventually, KC decided to move to his hometown and moved to Busan through the board of directors of KBL, leaving professional basketball, which had been loved by Jeonju citizens, with no promise of returning anytime.

KC won the first season before his hometown, and the contrast between Busan and Jeonju citizens was extremely mixed. Busan citizens enjoyed the joy of a local professional team winning for the first time since 1997, and the mayor of Busan decorated a page of honor by being rinsed by players at the championship site. 메이저사이트

A citizen who posted a message on the bulletin board of Jeonju City Hall wrote, "With your stupid judgment, I have lost the pride of having a popular professional sports team beyond professional basketball. You should feel sorry for the citizens of Jeonju." That's right. Denying the former mayor is foolish. But if the decision had deprived hundreds of thousands of citizens of their daily happiness.... It is ignorance, not folly, and disloyalty to citizens.
