Netizens, volunteers and athletes have one thing to say to anti-YOG Facebook group: Stop whining
By Benson Ang
August 26, 2010
The anti-Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Facebook group that claims to have more than 2,700 members has come under fire.
Athletes, volunteers and fans whom The New Paper spoke to yesterday hit back at criticisms by the group, with one of them calling members in the group "cowards" for hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet.
A netizen also blasted the group – which calls itself "I hate the YOG organising committee" – for being whiners.
The group's Facebook page has so far attracted more than 10 pages of comments, slamming various aspects of the YOG. These included the recent incident in which 21 YOG staff and volunteers suffered from food poisoning and the amount spent hosting the event.
Several members of the Singapore hockey team, which beat Chile yesterday to finish 5th overall, were livid at the anti-YOG group.
Karleef Sasi Abdullah, 17, said: "The (anti-YOG) netizens didn't see the time and effort we put into the Games. They didn't see us training, getting home late and having less time with our families.
"They also don't see how full the venues were, so how can they just criticise the YOG like that?"
