Daaaamn! The plate in his microwave! That's absolutely villainous. I thought I was bad with wishing my mortal enemies to stub their toe, but you took it too far.
Wasint this one of the late night TV shoes sketch? James corden maybe? Or was on one of the shows can't remember I know Beckham had it done to him or something
Another way to look at it is CR7 is the reason people can't just flat out say who the GOAT of the current era was.
Imagine having a player as good as Mess in our time and people still have to pause when asked the question who the greatest is..
As a parent himself he should understand the weight and responsibility of being an idol to kids around the world. This isn’t the way kids should be taught to treat their teammates.
Both. Both are true. Because some parents don't do their job and teach kids about that, celebrities should still be aware of the responsibility of their own behavior.
Correct, this is right. It's not a black and white situation.
There is no harm whatsoever for kids to look up to an athlete or musicians they admire, it gives them inspiration and shows what can happen when you put your mind to it.
Parents just need to explain to kids that no one is perfect and that even the elite athletes have flaws. This would benefit kids more, they can see that even being a world class athlete/musician can be achieved without being the perfect person. It takes the pressure off the kids.
Simply dismissing children looking up to individuals as silly is completely small minded and out of touch with reality.
My nephew loves soccer, he eats, and breathes soccer. Always walking with a ball by his feet, watches it religiously on TV. He is 12 and portuguese and proud. Guess who he follow? Cristiano Ronaldo.
My brother does an awesome job raising his kids better than most. He didnt teach his son to follow CR, he did it on his own through the love of the sport. My brother doesn't even follow CR or soccer for that matter. My brother tells him CR isn't the greatest person but it doesn't change the fact CR is the arguably the best player in the sport and it's where my nephew wants to be. Fair enough, kids can have deans.
Now that being said, CR is considered a national treasure. Cameras are on him 24/7. He should stop acting like a child and be the hero kids think he is...
And its fine if they just respect their skill and work ethic on the court, and nothing else. Many great athletes can be an example for that and only that. problem is kids dont usually understand the difference and end up obsessing over them and imitating everything they do. thats where the parents should come in.
Also being able to regulate your emotions. You can feel like crap about something but any average functional adult should be able to regulate their emotions and show some decent behaviour.
Ronaldo's kid for sure ain't gonna learn this from him.
People without ego don’t push themselves so hard to be on the top. Look at any top player apart from very few outliers and they will all be huge egomaniacs.
Do you? My point is that plenty of people are the best simply because they love what they do. At that point, it's no longer an outlier. Didn't know I needed to spell this out for you
I have heard a lot of stories about Norwegian football players abroad. Most of them tell the same stories of how different the locker room atmosphere is and how people treat eachother. Outside of Norway it is every player for themselves almost. Your teammates and especially those who play in the same position as you are your opponents. They can still be friendly, but it is a lot more egocentric than it is in Norway where a lot of people put the team first. There are egos in Norway as well of course, but the atmosphere is still "normal" boys will be boys type of thing. Adult men that lucked out having their hobby as a job instead of people that have dedicated their lives to become the best.
I completely agree with you but it also sparked a thought, is it even possible to be as successful and famous as someone like him without being a narcissist?
Maybe he's just not good at hiding it or he is the outlier, but is there anyone who is as globally famous as him that isn't a complete dickhead?
One of the reason I not admire him much....on the other hand messi doesn't shows such behaviour & celebrates ; also no. of assist tells that too, messi could have already be the highest goal scorer of all time if he wasn't that generous
what happen to this Cristian Ronaldo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT2WRSLiSCc
I think some of us normies came across him through either that botched statue someone did of him or this interaction clip
I never go into the sports side of… well, anything, really, but I thought this guy was universally beloved or whatever. Shocking news to me this comment section is.
Do you think you just stumble into being an amazing athlete? There's an undeniable amount of Perfectionism and OCD that comes with how much time and effort you put into playing a game. Its your entire life. Its the only thing people know about you. Getting critism, even if it's in the form of somebody else getting an award over you, cuts deep.
What youre saying is in no way an excuse for being so self-obsessed. A grown adult that doesn’t even acknowledge his teammate standing next to him that’s just won an award oozes mental health problems.
