The pre-season season is over.

The San Francisco 49ers ended their preseason journey with a four-game losing streak, and to make matters worse, rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick finally found some touch in Game 4, and although he contributed two interceptions, he also completed a passing touchdown and a running touchdown, and his performance finally picked up, but he went down with a concussion at the last minute and was suspended for at least four games.

The San Francisco 49ers' nightmare still doesn't seem to be over, starting with Alex Smith's injury before the preseason, then Colin Kaepernick's concussion before the start of the regular season, and finally, the team has to push alternate quarterback Lu Ke to the main position, otherwise the team will be in the embarrassment of having no quarterback available.

In the midst of the chaos, in order to avoid the possibility of Lu Ke being injured again, the San Francisco 49ers had to adjust the team's 53-man roster, release an outside receiver, and then temporarily sign a backup quarterback again.

There aren't many quarterbacks to choose from in the market, and in desperation, they chose Scott Tolsin, who was also an undrafted rookie, from the University of Wisconsin, to serve as Luke's backup. Hoarded four quarterbacks, but two were injured and the other two were undrafted rookies. The situation of the 49ers in San Francisco is truly dire.

As a result, the NFL officially confirmed that Lu Ke from the University of California, Los Angeles, will become the first Asian player in NFL history to officially appear on the league court and officially serve as a starter at the same time. Yes, not only Chinese, but also among Asians more broadly, this is still the first to make history.

After the San Francisco 49ers made an official announcement, the league also made headlines as soon as possible.

It was the first time in rugby history that a black athlete took to the pitch for the first time half a century ago and became a starter. Even, at the moment in 2011, the sensation of the news is even more ferocious -

In football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, ice hockey, baseball and other ball games, Asian and even Chinese players, although they are still at a disadvantage, have more or less become part of the professional arena. Even ice hockey, which has a lower popularity rate, can be found in professional leagues in Canada and the United States.

However, as the No. 1 ball in North America, far more dominant than second-ranked baseball and third-ranked ice hockey, there has never been a start of an Asian player on the professional field of football. It is not until today that history has finally been rewritten.

Although Chinese player offensive tackle Wang Kai entered the league last year, he was not able to start, and even the number of rotations on the court was very limited, which is not the same as the current situation!

The first starting Chinese-American player in NFL history is about to make his debut; And, he's also a quarterback. The absolute protagonist on the football field is not the secret service group, not the defense group, but the 100% ace star position, the quarterback.

Perhaps, he may be a shooting star, and he can't even finish a game, and then he goes off injured; Perhaps, he could be a disaster, the game was a complete mess, and there was no ability to fight at all; Perhaps, he may be a gimmick, a pawn used by the San Francisco 49ers and the NFL to promote the Chinese American market and the Asian market, which sounds good to say, but actually has no meaning.

But, one way or another, this is the moment in history.

In 2008, Barack-Obama became the first black president in U.S. history, and under his leadership, American society is gradually opening up for diversity and inclusion; Now, the NFL's professional game has seen the first Asian-American starter, which is undoubtedly important for the immigrant American society, which has always emphasized multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism.

Almost overnight, the name "Lu Ke" became a label, spread throughout the United States, and quickly became the focus, almost from scratch, reaching a thousand, not a hundred, but a thousand. The attention, the heat, and the hotness are so hot that they are about to melt.

Everyone is curious: Who is this Chinese quarterback? What's going on? At the same time, he has also become a laughing stock, a laughing stock of alliances, and a laughing stock of countries, and has become the object of ridicule and ridicule by countless people.

"It's a professional game, not a game." This comment comes from the Carolina Panthers' rookie quarterback, Cam Newton, "If I'm not mistaken, this is football, not table tennis, and he should have gone to the wrong field and chosen the wrong sport." ”

As Cam said, whether the Chinese player can handle the task of the game and whether he can withstand the intensity of the game has become the focus of everyone's doubts. The label of "Chinese" has almost nailed Lu Ke to the pillar of shame of failure.

"Let me tell you what happens in the first game of the regular season." ESPN's veteran professional commentator, Charles Davis, commented on the show, "He walked on the court, then got sacked, went off injured, and couldn't play any offense again. That's all. Believe me, this is the most merciful ending for him. ”

Charles did not hide the ridicule and disdain, even disdain, in his words, and when he finished speaking, he laughed happily and then explained seriously, "Look at his size, 6.3 feet, but only 187 pounds? Jesus Christ, who looked like a chocolate bar, broke it lightly and then broke it in two. I don't dare expect him to pass the ball, and for God's sake, the defenders better not break him. Otherwise, it would be a scene that will go down in history in the NFL! ”

As one of the league's most senior and professional commentators, Charles has an excellent resume and can be called one of ESPN's trump cards, and he regularly sits on the main show "Inside-NFL" every week.

With sharp reviews, professional posture and authoritative prestige, Charles is the show's ratings guarantee, and other TV stations have been trying to poach him, but ESPN still offered the highest salary in the industry and kept Charles.

Even in the face of a first-year rookie, even in the face of a history-making Chinese player, Charles did not have the slightest mercy, and he was full of firepower, which really brought a shocking education.

"Look at the quarterback's first pass on the court, the interception, the perfect interception, he didn't read the defense, he didn't inform his teammates, he sent the football into the arms of his rival with unerring accuracy, and it was probably the easiest catch of the defender's career. Of course, maybe on a positive note, at least his passing is accurate enough. ”

It wasn't a compliment, it was a mockery, a snarky mockery, and the whole studio burst into laughter, joy and boister. But that's not all.

Charles's spat and disdain continued, "He looked like a lost Little Red Riding Hood on the field, worried about the big bad wolf." With a thin body and a handsome face, God, even I can't bear it. Perhaps, he can charm his opponents with his handsomeness and cuteness, and beg their men to show mercy. Why didn't he stay at the accountant's desk?

The last sentence has actually touched the bottom line of racial discrimination, and as the host, Edard-Boen (Edard-Boen) had to stand up immediately and quietly change the topic before the matter became a big one, "So, you are not optimistic about the prospects of the San Francisco 49ers in the new season?" ”

"Of course not." "What we need to think about now is not whether the 49ers can win the game, but whether the quarterback's pass can break through a hundred yards, no, I correct, sorry, it should be fifty yards; Also, the quarterback will be able to make a few intercepts, and maybe, with a bit of luck, he can hold on for an entire season and break Payton Manning's record of 26 interceptions in his rookie season. Well, at least in the history of the Union, he left his name. ”

Almost every sentence and every word was full of disdain and contempt, and he didn't even treat Lu Ke as a quarterback, and the discrimination in his bones penetrated through words and attitudes.

At the end, Charles even burst out laughing, "I bet you that this quarterback will go home crying to find his mother." ”

In fact, Charles isn't the only commentator who is looking down on the San Francisco 49ers' season prospects, nor is he the only commentator who is looking down on Lu Ke's season prospects.

Bill-ingo, a commentator for NBC television, said, "Standing on the court, he looks out of place, his thin stature doesn't even match that of an outside receiver, almost like a cardboard man." I don't quite know what San Francisco 49ers were chosen, but I could feel Jim Hubble's helplessness and helplessness. ”

Steven-Golic, an expert commentator on sports for The New York Times, commented in the column, "The physical confrontation is completely inferior, the footwork is completely clumsy and difficult, and the defensive reading and passing accuracy are the impressions that the rookie quarterback made after only a handful of appearances in the four games of the preseason." Is he a qualified quarterback? Apparently, he was just teetering on the edge of passing. ”

A similar sentiment was echoed by ABC TV commentator Richard-Riddick, "The San Francisco 49ers could have a better choice." After Alex Smith's injury, Carson Palmer and Matt Hasselbeck went on trials, but Jim Hubble chose Luke. Perhaps, this is the team's consideration of the San Francisco ball market. Other than that, it's hard to think of a better reason. ”

Kim-Gimes, a commentator for the Seattle Post, began to cheer for the team — the Seattle Seahawks, who were the opponents of the San Francisco 49ers in the opener, and at the same time, the two sides were rivals in the same district, "The San Francisco 49ers have already dropped out of the playoff race before the season has even begun." After four consecutive preseason losses, an injury to the main quarterback, and a concussion in the second-round pick quarterback, they finally chose an undrafted quarterback, a Chinese-American player. Perhaps, the 49ers are already planning for the 2012 season. ”

There was a wailing of the whole league, and almost everyone took the whole thing as a joke. Because of the bad news of 49 people in San Francisco, but also because of Lu Ke's Chinese identity. Lu Ke's interception after replacing Colin on the field did not help.

Even if the coalition tries to steer public opinion with the political/political correctness of "making history", so what? No one bought it. To be more accurate, everyone is falling into the ground.
