The moral responsibility of professionals vs privacy is a different world...Baseball Players' Continuous Deviation, How to Watch It

The aftermath of the revelation of the abortion scandal by a professional baseball player from the national team has not subsided. On the night of the 10th, female B began posting an article on an Internet bulletin board that shot KBO League players in the metropolitan area under the title of 「Exposing the privacy of professional baseball player A」, and this fact became controversial on the 11th.
If it was a simple suspicion, the grounds presented by the woman B were very specific and detailed from meeting to problem. The reason was that even though A had a girlfriend, he continued his relationship with B, who he met as a fan, and even forced him to get pregnant and have an abortion. In this abortion, B said he was diagnosed with a possibility of infertility.
However, even after the revelation, player A is still performing training and games normally. Mr. B did not mention his real name, but he presented details that could fully tell who he was, such as the Seoul metropolitan area team, the former national team, and the finishing of his 2003 birth.
Anyone who is a little interested in baseball knows who this player is. However, player A remains silent about this issue. The club found out and fell into the so-called "mental breakdown". By moral standards, this player was clearly at fault. However, it was not a legal punishment for using violence or driving under the influence of alcohol, so it was impossible to discipline the player. Furthermore, player A is at the heart of his power. Playing the second half of the year without Lee was hurt enough to give the impression of giving up his performance.
The Lotte Giants' Na Kyun-an incident is a similar example. Lotte kept quiet about the issue and kept him in the game even though Na Kyun-an was known to be involved in an affair controversy. The reason was that the club could not even touch his personal life. Na Kyun-an is an indispensable native starting agent for Lotte, who won gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last season.
The clubs are dying, too. Similar things continue to happen, so we educate and do new jobs. But nothing changes. Even so, you can't follow and control grown-up players one by one. The image of the club and the group falls due to the individual deviation of the player. The club handles all the after-effects, but the player agents are quiet when this happens. He only works hard when negotiating salaries.
But even if it's not a legal responsibility, it's certainly right to do what you shouldn't do as a professional player. Even if the fan approached first, he deceived the fan and even made the worst of abortion. There are inevitably many fans who are uncomfortable watching Lee continue to play without expressing his position.
However, there is also a cautious opinion that too high standards may be applied to a series of accidents as professional players. A senior club official complained of difficulties in dealing with these events, saying, `They can happen even among ordinary people, and baseball players are socially buried.' Some may say that the private life outside of baseball is up to the individual and that he just needs to do his best at the ballpark.
What's right. If it is not a crime, should we focus on our immediate grades or meet the public's eye level first. Rather than that, if it is virtually known who this player is, it may be the least courtesy to express any position and move on. It's not a matter of disciplinary action. If you feel you have done something wrong, it would be your duty as a professional player to say anything, whether you apologize or confidently claim that it is a matter of entertainment of a young player before marriage and that it has nothing to do with baseball. Hiding is not everything. If it's something that fans want to know and are curious about, the professional has an obligation to explain it.
In the end, fans can make a judgment. If you think it's right not to support players who cause such problems, you can do it, and regardless of that, if baseball and players like it, you can continue to support them. However, in that case, it is another problem that the deviations of players who do not feel conscious of the problem can continue.
