Back from Europe, this year’s US Open has come to an end. Because of the 12-hour time difference, watching the live broadcast of the US Open in Hong Kong is also a painstaking pleasure. Fortunately, taking advantage of the time difference brought back from Europe, I was able to cut the hard work in half.
A friend who played with me asked me if I had watched the men’s singles final. I said I had planned to watch it because it was expected to be Spanish teenager Alcaraz vs. Zukoyu. However, Alcaraz was eliminated by Russia’s Medvedev and the final became the final. When it comes to Medvedev vs. Zugaoyu, the drama is a bit boring. So I chose to watch the replay the next day, and as expected, the final was nothing outstanding. The ball came and went just to see who made the first mistake. The game was very boring. Not watching it was not a loss.
Another reason is that I don’t like either of these two players on the court. When I usually watch them play, instead of wanting to see them win, I want to see them lose. For example, if Zukoyu loses to Alcaraz, or Medvedev loses to Australia’s Kirios, it will increase the visibility of the game.
This is also a typical mentality in psychology. Psychological analysis has found that people who see someone they don’t like lose are often happier than seeing someone they like win. Of course, it will be even happier if you see someone you don’t like losing to someone you like. Neither player in this year’s US Open men’s final is a player he likes, so it doesn’t matter who wins or loses. It’s not worth staying up all night to cheer.
Is this prejudice? Of course it’s bias. Who is without prejudice? Being unbiased means being absolutely impartial. Anyone who emphasizes that he is unbiased is equivalent to saying that he is absolutely impartial, and he must be a hypocrite.
