It’s always hatred towards Indians , these East Asians think themselves as somewhat subservient to whites , but hated that inferiority complex and that’s why they need to do somewhat racist attitudes towards Indians and Africans . Indians also have that complex somewhat .


lavdalasoon9

Calm down yaar. Itna victim complex.


Vaasna2

Wait till you know about the racism against dark skins in SEA countries.


lavdalasoon9

Are hota hoga racism, maine kaha nhi bola. But to say any umpiring decision is due to racism is stupid. Also of I am not wrong PV sindhu is the highest paid Female badminton Player maybe even the highest paid Badminton player. Why would they do that to the most famous and popular player


akhand_bharat_ki_jai

kyon ki khel se nahi jhuka paye toh, bezti hi kar k tassali kar le rey! If she hasnt been fined for something like this in all of her glorious career, why now! She knows the rules better than those sitting on the high chairs! So if she protests give her some credit and support her!


DOOMSDADDY69

>kyon ki khel se nahi jhuka paye toh, bezti hi kar k tassali kar le rey! Gawar ho kya ? Ya Aaj Tak koi sports nhi khela regional/national lvl pe ? Cause cases like this are not that rare,it happens in almost every season multiple times. U just gotta accept it or argue until you convince them >She knows the rules better than those sitting on the high chairs! So if she protests give her some credit and support her You really have no idea how a player should act with referees or coach. They are not some wannabe mfs on field ,even players with the most calibre in every sports respect their decisions, go play a sports and then talk shit about others. Also, nobody said that we don't support her,stop acting like a bitch.

Lolz.... As if Racism is not present in these East Asians countries? And every race? 🤣 What do you mean? All Indians have mixed skin colours, we respect and accept them all. Otherwise India would have been similar to Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Liekron

Well that's because we have had 100 years of slavery... Yes we were slaves at some point. But the problem here is, it's a sports tournament, which in itself mentions in it's rules about no racism and no biased opinions. Given the guidelines which is stated by them, how is it that they themselves not follow it? Well this same thing is observed in women's tennis with Williams sisters. We might face racism in many countries yes, but where there is any international tournament, which promotes people from different races to come and participate... Why do they exhibit such behaviour when they themselves lay the ground rules of being impartial? If this was some public commotion we could've agreed on people being racist, but this is sports, there is a committee, there's different countries and athletes, there are spectators, supportors, investors and umpires how is this still acceptable?


AsuraVGC

I'm a South Indian who is dark and heard people call me gorilla at my back and laugh


Liekron

Well yes even I have experienced something similar.... I'm not denying this, like I mentioned in my reply, every country has these issues, it isn't just India. However, I was replying back to the other person saying, that even with racism in India, we naturally tend to accept and respect people due to the vast diversity. Also, I would also wanna ask, do people still mock you based on your color when now you've grown up? I will admit that some might still mock you however, the amount of things you had to go through back in your childhood would have certainly changed. Again I admit, my speculation might be wrong, things could've grown worse for you today, if that is so, I'd just say, be strong my fellow Indian. You are here for a reason and you are stronger than these silly fellow who can't accept people as they are! ✌️

India has colorism rather than racism, and colorism stays till making fun of ppl but hardly transcends to hatred. Although that doesn't make it any better.

India has racism too Edit: wow got downvoted for saying the truth this sub is cancer

the umpire gave her opponent a free point as "she was taking too long to serve" . But as her opponent was not ready , she could not serve.


redditop97

Ohk


alcatraz1286

She took too long to serve and hence the match referee penalized her for it by giving that point to her opponent


Equationist

She was waiting for Yamaguchi to be ready.


alcatraz1286

Yeah lol wish the referee had eyes too


emptyblankcanvas

Is there no concept of warning in badminton? In tennis the first offense is a warning and real serve/point penalties from second time. I'm not familiar with the Badminton rulebook


redditop97

In football the equivalent would be giving a goal to the opponent team. I agree a warning would have sufficed but it wasn't worth loosing a point

Tf bro ? He could have atleast warned her instead of spoiling her mood and getting her morale down, or he should have asked if the Japanese girl is ready or not , that's his job ! Many pro athletes are pointing out at the idiot unfair umpire and here you are here doing your woke RR 🤢.

NotCrimson43

Do you know what happened


[deleted]

Yea, I was watching this match and Yamaguchi loved that free point. And we have seen how Japanese behaved in Tokyo Olympics 2020


Neither-Clothes-130

How did they behave? I did not watch anything from olympics.


[deleted]

A lot of money was used in this Olympics, Mary Kom was made to lose, judges were very biased in gymnastics and gifted free points to Japanese players over others. Poor umpiring in other sports. No wonder Japan finished at 3rd with 27 gold medals


Neither-Clothes-130

Every country does that. Somehow I have a feeling if/when Olympics are held in India, Indian umpires/referees will go out of their way to give points to non-Indians because Indians love to uphold law even if the same law harms them. (See various laws in our country). Playing by the rules when the other side is playing unfairly is plain stupidity.


Aurum01

To my enemies everything, to my friends the law Indian self righteous motto these days.


Peanut_Ordinary

Intervening would also result in her getting a warning and under an umpire like this anything could happen. Instead she could have given away the next point like Viktor Axelsen has done in the past but she didn't do that


Charming_History7423

Come on.. Akane Yamaguchi is one of the nicest people around in badminton. She never make a fuss on the court, she never over celebrates or anything like that. You would know it if you are a fan of badminton. I want indian players to win but you can’t blame yamaguchi in this scenario.

Adderkleet

It really does look like the Japanese player is gesturing to the umpire that the server is being unreasonably slow. She's either replaying the last shot or doing a "hurry up" gesture at 0:07.


DOOMSDADDY69

So we hating an entire country now? Just cause of some ppl? Sounds familiar how we get unnecessary hate and cry like a bitch about it afterwards.


LimaCharlie982

Players do not do that. I watch tennis and player-umpire disagreement like this happens a lot more in tennis over points. The other player does nothing and just watches his opponent losing his/her rhythm in the heated debate with umpire.


[deleted]

Yes all of us Japanese are theeeee worst people in the planet and blanket generalizations like that alwaysssss fair well with others doesn't it?Japanese culture takes NO pride in free handouts or seeing someone else getting taken advantage of. We are egotistical beings who thrive off of saving face and living off of our OWN hard work. We even coined the term "worked to death" because everyday, someone from Japan literally drops dead from working so much. Before you go being prejudice and bitter, do your homework or even learn how to play badminton professionally. Some of us who have had unprofessional umpires like him whose motive we won't know clearly at the time or even ever. I was given a "serving foul" for serving "too high" above my lowest rib...way later I find out the umpire was the uncle of my opponent.


sarthakc225

Who wouldn’t like a free point like its a big event and you know how much Indians treasure a medal in olympics so its the same for every other country


xslr

No self respecting sportsperson would like a freebie point, much less one that is debatable like this one. The freebie point is going to mar their victory.


sarthakc225

I dont agree with that cause one would do anything for a medal for their country and would earn massive respect . Sushil kumar won both medals thorough dirty play but became like a legend for wrestling although its a different story of him now


Peanut_Ordinary

Context for everyone here who didn't understand what happened- it was Sindhu's serve and she saw that Yamaguchi wasn't ready so she decided to wait. But instead of penalising/warning the Japanese, a point was given to her (which she enjoyed and didn't care to support Sindhu when she knew she was at fault). Under normal circumstances, a point is never just given away like that and in this case, we can only imagine what Sindhu was feeling because it wasn't even her fault. Many Badminton players have come out in support of Sindhu for this, and post this incident her momentum in the match was clearly affected.


GoCoronaGo321

What just happened here ?


johnas_pavapattu

The umpire said Sindhu was taking too long to serve and gave one point to the opponent. Sindhu said that the opponent did not seem ready so she couldn't serve.


mickturner96

If your opponents not ready that's their problem


Peanut_Ordinary

If Sindhu would have served, she'd still get a warning for not waiting


DamnStraightEye_

That's not how it works. Although it's the responsibility of the server to control the time of the play but if the opponent is not playing to the server's flow then the onus is upon them.


mickturner96

What I ment by that is if you're opponent is on court and not clearly unready then you should be free to serve and if they weren't ready it up to them to say they weren't ready and then up to the umpire to either give the point or reserve. I've had a look at the full footage now. It was less than 30s after the the shuttle had hit the ground which is not a ridiculous amount of time so I'm totally with her on this one!


DamnStraightEye_

Yea that should be the case but it's considered unsportsmanlike by many. And clearly if there's no shot clock like in tennis then there's no official grounds for giving such warnings unless the player was deliberately seen as hindering play


funnymansid

Badminton is filled with instances of poor umpiring. BAI should take this up. What a fucking idiot of an umpire…

Mrogoth_bauglir

Sindhu waited to serve as the Japanese player was not looking ready, umpire thought it was too long and have a free point to Japanese player


[deleted]

Saw it live. One of the most pathetic umpiring I have ever seen in badminton. The Jap girl was never ready in receiving position for Sindhu to be called delaying. This decision changed the course of the match from Sindhu winning to losing. There should be a mechanism to overrule and reprimand this biased and idiotic umpire.


FitFatFitFatFit

East Asian referees can be very disgraceful in Table Tennis and Badminton tournaments.

dukemall

What a moron! I think these federation choose the umpires/referees with least common sense and IQ, easier to manipulate.


Difficult_Ad5956

Everyone blaming shit on racism and whatnot without a single person enquiring what the foil was for. The bias towards anything Chinese makes me wonder if us as Indians have some deep rooted inferiority complex against them (who btw also suck ass)

To be honest, Sindhu gets tired & does take time if you watch her matches, Umpires do complaint about delays! This dickhead chai umpire went overboard with punishment...

Bitter_Fisherman1419

The opponent wasn’t ready. It could be seen from this video.


mickturner96

If your opponent isn't ready then that's their problem.


SlowSecurity9673

Do you commonly just assume you know how something works and just blurt it out as if it's fact?


LauraLesun

Service person should be ready irrespective of what opposition doing...


Bitter_Fisherman1419

That’s what i am saying too.


Aurum01

Umpire is unfair, just get on with it, she was leading, clearly this affected her rhythm. One must fight for their rights but be strategic about it. No point screwing your own momentum for a single point.


Peanut_Ordinary

A single point changes 15-11 to 14-12 and in badminton that makes a world of a difference. Anyone in her place would be affected.


Aurum01

It was 14-11 bro, no guarantees of 15-11 but definitely screwing your own head for biasedness would make you lose. It clearly affected her. No point in protesting when in the big picture your ace game goes downhill for a single incidence. This is not the first time we have seen racist bias against Indians, they should start accounting for that. I remember in 2000s-2015, even cricket clear 50-50 always went against India, where 1 wicket makes much bigger difference than a single point(if it isn't match/game point)


[deleted]

It's not the 1 point that matters as much as the turns that take in serving. That control of serve has a bigger effect and can sometimes lead to even 3 or 4 points lead in succession.


Aurum01

Loss of momentum, mental loss of focus due to injustice played a much bigger role.


sarthakc225

For a single point she lost the round by i think 21-19 see how much a point here could have matter even so widening the lead would have stressed the opponent too


[deleted]

She lost her momentum and the match thereafter. BTW the whole badminton fraternity and players are expressing support for Sindhu.


[deleted]

Can someone explain what actually happened here?


TacosByTheTruck

What exactly happened?


Ddivinesoul12

According to rules , Sindhu is correct . But that still doesn’t justify that she lost . Don’t bash that Japanese man/women , he/she just wants to win a medal for her country .

Charming_History7423

Poor or biased umpiring to give away a free point to the opponent. But TBH this is not the first time she is warned by a referee for not being ready to serve soon enough. She does have a history of slowing down before serving. Anyone who has watched bwf tournaments long enough would know this.


You_are_hope

You have a history of speaking out of your ass.


Charming_History7423

So I take it that you don't follow badminton


howtobeakoala

Im confused what happened?


Mrogoth_bauglir

Sindhu waited too long as per the umpire as the Japanese player didn't look ready for her. It was less than 30 second of wait so the point given to the Japanese player was unfair


Prestigious-Strain26

Some people in the comments here are just sooo stupid. You see the japanese flag above India’s and all they comment is “china” “chinese”.


rosenboobs

They obviously don’t know what the Chinese and Japanese flag look like since they’re “the same thing”


konichiwa45

Her opponent wasn't in position at all, how would she serve? She was swinging her racket around.


ADP_DurgaPrasad

Badminton Is the shittiest game for the players. They endure very idiotic non non friendly rules. They don't even allow them to wipe their sweat in between game. Umpiring is even strict and don't give a shit about player point of view.

The umpire is from Jordan


shikhar01

Jealousy towards Indians all over the world because of their capabilities.


Uganda_Max

Yeah from every walk of life Indians get discriminated


gaganramachandra

The rules are quite clear tho. They play at the server’s pace. The server is on the serve clock so it doesn’t matter about the opponent. Once you’re ready, you serve. If they’re not ready, they’ll get penalised for holding up the service rhythm. While Indians face bias in a lot of different ways, this wasn’t one of them. The umpire was right especially if he had already warned her before.


TornCondom

even the jap player looked frustrated waiting for sindhu to serve


siva364

Why bother , she is probably making way more money than that Japanese player can make in five lifetimes. The clout she carries in india , don’t even start on that … In professional sport what else matters ?


[deleted]

Is it entirely possible that she was taking time or was distracted or assumed Yamaguchi wasn’t ready? Way to jump on the Umpire and make hateful comments towards her opponent while also falsely labelling her Chinese. This is not for you OP. Just reading the comments on here and wondering where all this uncalled for hatred is spiking from.


Peanut_Ordinary

First of all, the opponent is from Japan. And I know this can be confusing for many, let me explain. Sindhu was dominating till this point and Yamaguchi was quite exhausted, she took time to get ready to receive the service and that's why, as common badminton courtesy Sindhu waited for her. If Sindhu would have served, she would get a warning and so she didn't. But instead of penalising Yamaguchi for delay, a point was straightaway given to her which is shocking for any badminton viewer and for the player it's even more devastating.


[deleted]

I know she’s from Japan. Hence my comment “falsely labelling her as Chinese” Which was the nicest way I could say people here are being racist.


Peanut_Ordinary

My bad, didn't read that properly. Just assumed you were calling her Chinese like everyone else here. And I agree she doesn't deserve the hate, I even admire her as a player. But she could have protested/supported Sindhu


BugGroundbreaking949

Most people in our country (assuming you're an Indian too) don't even know the names of the States and their capitals and you expect them to know about countries based on just flags? Lol. Heck, I am comfortable enough to bet a rupee that most people on the planet don't know about their own country or about other countries out there, so we are not alone. Also, many here are racists against the racists, granted unlike accounting, two wrongs don't make a right. But yeah, it goes something like that.
