Couldn't put it better myself. I have a WhatsApp group of high school classmates who voiced similar things you alluded to what the little pinkies said. My view is that the original contract was never disclosed, so there are no criteria to decide whether Messi adheres to the stipulations of the contract or not. It is just like 3 blind men describing the elephant. The funny thing is that one of the government officials was asked about his thoughts on Messi's play in the next stop, Japan. A normal person would say," Of course, we would like to see Messi nurse himself as quickly as possible. It is disappointing not to have him played in HK, but we still wish him a quick and full recovery. Instead, he said I would be very disappointed if he played in Japan. His mentality is that if I can't have it, nobody should have it either. What a guy!

Well, you hit the nail right on the head when you waid "a normal person would say...". Little pinkies are not normal human being, sometimes I even wonder if they are human being.

@@laozhou77 Sometimes I feel a little bit sorry for them, they're just like those people chained under the cave in Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Even when some of the prisoners in the cave were able to have a peek at the outside world and came back and told the others, they wouldn't believe it. My psychology professor friend told me that the phenomenon of my old classmates, educated in HK and then college education in the West and lived in the West that all of a sudden became panda-huggers is the concept of proximity of power. Most of them are not fully acculturated to the West, don't like to speak English, spend most of their time in Chinatown, few Westerner friends. What do you think?

@@laozhou77 Better yet, one of the WhatsApp members started name-calling me as 反中, 賣國賊. I told him I was against the Chinese policies, not trying to rise up to fight against China. Then I told him to be cognizant of where yourself is residing. Did you swear and protect the country you're living in when you took the oath to become a citizen of that country? Then he said he hated being in a group that has 反中人士. I then told him our WhatsApp group is not a big enough platform for him, if he would like to announce to the whole country, I would go with him with a megaphone to the parliament or Congress.
