If there is a dispute over the farmer identity of the participating players, is the "village BA" still pure? Recently, according to a media investigation in Guyuan, Ningxia, in recent years, "village competitions" represented by "village BA" have sparked a phenomenon level trend, but some new problems have also emerged. What is the password for the emergence of "village BA"? Today, many people must have the same answer: local flavor, folk custom, sense of participation, and popularity. In short, I just felt what sports should be like the most. Although the contestants may not be very professional and the venue facilities may be relatively simple, it doesn't matter. It's enough to compete, and happiness is enough. It is precisely because of the cherishing of this spirit that as early as when "Village BA" went viral on the internet, some people began to discuss: how can the "second half" of "Village BA" not forget its roots and maintain its flavor? Now it seems that such concerns are not unnecessary. For example, in Guyuan, Ningxia, a local cadre said: "Some teams pay too much attention to face and rank, invite players who do not meet the requirements of registered residence, occupation, etc. to participate, and even spend money to transfer their household registration. May I ask, if even some players deviate from their original intentions, how many highlights are left for such a 'village BA'? It is also worth questioning how this trend was formed. Some players mentioned that some places put effort into their player identity in order to make it easier for them to compete for the construction of mass sports facilities and activity funds after winning a place, after all, "only by achieving results can one speak up". Striving for funding is understandable, but if we act in a pragmatic manner based on our political achievements, we may be putting the cart before the horse. You should know that there are lessons to be learned from sacrificing one's inner self for the sake of face. Previously, there were signs of "deviation" and "loss of flavor" in a few mass sports events, such as some units investing heavily in "foreign aid" and even impersonating others, turning good matches into "money and ability" competitions, attracting public criticism. The alarm bell has sounded, but don't follow in its footsteps. 'Village BA' is not only a form of self entertainment for villagers, but also presents another possibility for cultural revitalization. Of course, when the "village BA" fully blooms, not all places can form strong event IPs and release considerable multiplier effects. But in terms of organizing and hosting competitions, "village BA" contains significant social benefits that cannot be underestimated: respecting the pioneering spirit of the masses, boosting cultural confidence, revitalizing sports spirit, and so on. However, once the soul of fairness and purity is lost, these beautiful values cannot be discussed. In last year's "No.1 Document", "village BA" was first mentioned. The document emphasizes the promotion of the healthy development of mass cultural and sports activities such as "village BA". There are two key words worth noting: one is "mass", and the other is "health". In my opinion, on the one hand, it is to ensure fair competition. The report mentioned that in the context of urban-rural integration and social mobility, it is difficult to define the farmer identity of some players, and there is still room for discussion. However, the trend of manipulating matches and participating in gambling should be vigorously eliminated. On the other hand, emphasizing healthy development does not completely eliminate commercialization, but rather, on the basis of building a "moat" for capital to invade the stadium, using the appeal of sports events to drive tourism, catering and other industries, and adopting a long-term pattern to turn traffic into "retention". Let sports be sports, only then can purity be carried to the end. To maintain the "village flavor" with farmers as the main body, "village BA" is still "village BA". (New Society)
