That's the Power of Ronaldo !!!
He is just an attention grabber. By insulting a sponsor, who spent billions of USD in various football tournaments in the last few years, Ronaldo has greatly harmed the reputation of UEFA and FIFA. From what I heard, the valuation of Coca Cola went down by billions of $$$ as a result of this incident. These sort of incidents will deter corporations from sponsoring such events in the future. They are not paying this huge amount of money to see their own brands getting insulted in the public. I hope that Coke will launch a lawsuit against UEFA, suing them for the damages.
So the question comes here that what benefit Ronaldo gained from this act ?
He don't need more fame by doing this , because he is already famous. He is not paid for doing this either. The mystery remain there
I find it amazing firstly that as an investor you would sell you Coca Cola shares because
a player at a press conference moved 2 advertising bottles aside and said the word Agua.
Secondly its the sponsors of sporting events who actually front up the funding to enable
them to exist, Ronaldo has shown his arrogance in this move. Everyone knows CC is
not a good drink and Water is #1, but I have seen sports people drinking CC during
tournaments for the energy boost.
Just like everyone knows the cheating and antics which Ronaldo is known for in his
playing career but it never stopped him.
Didnt Paul Pogba do something similar with Heineken at a press conference, seemingly
on muslim beliefs?
