Polemik All England, Akun Instagram Badminton World Federation Diserbu Netizen

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV - Akun media sosial Instagram milik Badminton World Federation (BWF) diserbu netizen, terkait kabar dipaksanya Tim Nasional Bulu Tangkis Indonesia untuk mundur dari ajang bergengsi All England 2021.

"All Indonesian players will not be able to compete in the current or next round of the tournament and have therefore been withdrawn from the YONEX All England Open 2021," tulis BWF dalam unggahan Instagram, Kamis (18/3/2021).

BWF beralasan bahwa Timnas Indonesia satu pesawat dengan seorang penumpang yang terindikasi positif Covid-19.

"The Badminton World Federation (BWF) and Badminton England can confirm that a number of players and team members from the Indonesian team have been contacted by the UK Government's National Health Service (NHS) Test and Trace service and are required to self-isolate with immediate effect," unggah BWF.

BWF juga mengabarkan bahwa Timnas Indonesia harus menjalani isolasi selama sepuluh hari ke depan.

"In accordance with UK Government requirements, the entire team will self-isolate for 10 days from the date of their inbound flight after a person travelling onboard tested positive for COVID-19.

Sejumlah netizen Indonesia melontarkan protesnya di kolom komentar Instagram unggahan @bwf.official.

Netizen menganggap BWF berlaku tidak adil terhadap Timnas Bulu Tangkis Indonesia. Sebagian meminta BWF dihentikan.

"its not fair, how about India, Thailand, and Denmark players? are you kidding?," tulis pengguna Instagram @rama_kuncoro.
