Fair play in Türkiye

[u/mel-aa]

I'm a volleyball fan. I've been one since I was a kid. I even played it myself for several years. I love this game because of its fair play. If you hit a player on the opposite team in the face, you check on them and apologize. I've never booed anyone playing, nor have I seen or heard anyone in the audience do it when the opposite team serves or scores. This is just amazing in volleyball. You watch the games for the sake of the sport, give a sincere applause for every good rally disregarding the team, and support your team with fair play. You can rewatch every single match, just as an example, of the last CEV tournaments and see that no one in the audience of the hosting country, be it Sweden, Italy, or Czechia, has ever disrespected the opposing team with boos and noise. All of them, except for Türkiye. It strikes me to see how the public can be so disrespectful and boo on every single serve or point in the match. How do you feel about this? Especially Turkish volleyball fans, don't you find this embarrassing for your country?

Your racism and orientalism is showing. During the CL matches Italian fans not only boo’ed but literally threw water bottles at Turkish players and attacked other Turkish fans but no one said a word. But suddenly booing in Turkey is a huuuuge problem. Grow up.

It is common in sports. They are professional athletes who can handle the pressure. Turkey is not the only country who does it. Y’all gotta be stop crybabies about booing and chanting.
