Cristiano Ronaldo READS COCA-COLA TO FILTH!

Could someone give us some context please?

Djokovic has talked about how he's never drunk Coca Cola too. They think it's unhealthy (which it is, to be fair).

CR7 was sitting down for a press conference, noticed two Coca-Cola bottles on the desk in front of him, moved them away with disgust, lifted up a bottle of water, and said something like "Ugh - Coca-Cola".

Coke's stock price took an immediate hit.

It's hard for Americans to understand the power of world soccer.

r3, specially in Latin America.

About time.

He probably felt like he was giving Coke free advertising by sitting behind the bottles and that's why he moved them. I'm sure if they offered him 10 million to star in a 10 second ad he wouldn't be so high and mighty. I'm not impressed.

Woka-Cola

It’s pouring sugar into your blood

Soda is 20 lbs easy when trying to lose weight

Love ❤️ these responses; Woka, Joan

[quote] I'm not impressed.

I'm impressed. Its a rubbish product in PLASTIC bottles which are polluting the Pacific Ocean.

If you watched the video at the link, it made clear how he won't promote unhealthy products. His children aren't allowed chocolate. They eat fruit instead.

Are you African-American, OP?

Does the word 'read' allude to reading the Bible?

[quote]His children aren't allowed chocolate. They eat fruit instead.

Pineapple isn't too healthy either.

The power of the most famous football player

soda's gross. good for him!

What's with these guys named Ronaldo?

I would like to read OP to filth for using the expression "read to filth." Ugh

Come now. It's because they didn't give him the paycheck.

R11, R16 'Read to filth' seems equally as awkward as 'speak their truth'.

I assume they're both derived from Southern Baptist churches.

No chocolate for those adorable children? He's an insufferable cunt!

“Reads to filth” it’s one of the stupidest expressions - you sound like a complete moron, OP.

Where’s the reading to filth, you dumb fuck? He moved coke bottles out of the way.

He's not a moron, R20, he's an African-American.

R21 He's not 'reading' he's using sign language in lieu of words.

Isn't he sponsored by Herbalife?

Average sized dick.

Of course, it would have been unforgettable if super-straight CR7 had pushed the bottles aside while shouting "Don't fuck with me fellas!"

r10 you PR swallowing bitch, the VW logo behind him is the promotion of an unhealthy product. The WHO has conclusively linked respiratory illnesses and air pollution.

Heineken is alcohol and alcohol causes more misery worldwide than soda

Qatar Airlines is FULLY OWNED BY AN AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT

I don't need to watch to video to know he's a vapid idiot and completely full of shit. You must be one of those people who always rushes to defend the rich and famous.

Exactly. Cristiano would be sitting up there endorsing Russian prison food if Putin wrote him a nice enough check.

Just because I'm stupid it doesn't mean I'm fat.

The two things are unrelated.

Go, Pepsi! I douche myself with it to kill the spiders!

What happened to his MMA boyfriend?

"Just because I'm stupid it doesn't mean I'm fat."

I love this quote. I'm going to put it on a t-shirt.

Wouldn’t be a Cristiano Ronaldo thread without bringing up the whole “MMA boyfriend” thing. Now somebody post the pics so we can all fantasize about Cristiano being a super duper secret homo, even though he hasn’t been linked to any men since.

But KFC is one of his sponsors? The kids can’t eat chocolate but a bucket of chicken is ok?

My first thought watching the video was "wait a minute isn't he gay what's with the wife and kids?"

How’s his rape case coming along?

He’s looking like Jair Bolsonoro.

Read someone to filth (at first especially in the black LGBT community): To thoroughly insult, to comprehensively call attention to the flaws of (someone).

English is a living language. Word meanings change with use. Words mean what people say they mean.

KFC in Portugal? I don't think that's a thing.

Soda is more hydrating than water.

[quote]lifted up a bottle of water, and said something like "Ugh - Coca-Cola".

He said, "Àgua" which is Portuguese for "water" you idiot. 😂

Ha ha R39!

Coca Cola responded.

[quote] Word meanings change with use. Words mean what people say they mean.

Der, yeah. Rape in 1990 isn't Rape now.

Why are people so anti-sugar? Sugar is natural.

Water more hydrating?

R27, you forget the press that I deliver to sponsors is MY POWER. I can use it any way I want. It's a sword... that cuts both ways.

KFC*

[quote] I hate to link to this dirty rag

Would you prefer to link to the Guardian which is going more and more bankrupt every year?

R44 yes, in bananas, not Coke

That will teach Coke that they can still be brought down even after they pretended to be woke.

[quote] pretended to be woke.

Was it Coke who told their staff to be 'Less White'? The most asinine demand an employer could make!

They should have pulled sponsorship after the rape accusation.

[quote]Following the stunt, Coca-Cola issued a statement saying 'everyone is entitled to their SEXUAL preferences' and everyone has different 'tastes and needs'.

R45 - your linked article said, "beverages with a little bit of sugar, fat or protein do an even better job of keeping us hydrated for longer."

Soda has WAY more that a little bit of sugar.

[quote]He said, "Àgua" which is Portuguese for "water" you idiot.

Except, R40, that it's spelled "Água," with an acute accent (that points up), rather than a grave accent (which points down).

Who's the idiot now?

He is "in relationships" with women who birth his children which he apparently raises on his own.

Gay.

He’s with that poor man’s Kim Kardashian wannabe.

R53 Yes, even an accusation should equal COMPLETE CANCELLATION, OMG.

R58 He's not dating Khloe.

In his country, whores would cleanse their spermy lady parts by violently shaking a bottle of coke and shoving up their poontang, where the carbonation would remove any potential children from every crack and crevice.

He misses his could-have-been siblings and is projecting his anger on the means and not the actual murderer.

[quote] It's hard for Americans to [bold]care about[/bold] the power of world soccer.

FIFY

Some guy here on DL has been trying to make "read to filth" happen for a while now. It sounds stupid.

It’s horrible. ^

And all those chemicals from those spray tans he gets are healthy?🙄

R63 I'm always wary of hucksters pushing new words or idioms into our language.

They're like Stalin's 'Social Engineers'.

What’s scary is how in the comments under that video people talk about how they’re going to stop drinking soda because CR doesn’t drink it. How fucking scary is it that grown ass adults can’t think for themselves and will do or not do whatever one of the favorite celebrities does or doesn’t do?

I'd rather follow Ronaldo's diet suggestions than those of - say - Chrissy Metz.

He's the first player in a team sport to be a billionaire!

Coke is a sponsor of the euros that's why the bottles were there.

[quote]Why are people so anti-sugar? Sugar is natural.

Coke doesn't have sugar - it has high-fructose corn syrup.

Soda is the single biggest reason we have hundreds of millions of obese people in the world.

R66 It's called slang.

R71 It's called sloppy.

There are a lot of young kids who look up to him, many of them have shit parents who work long hours and leave the educating to the schools but those kids are probably not paying any attention in class.

[quote] grown ass adults can’t think for themselves

Yes, R67. But those adults with ungrown asses CAN think for themselves.

[quote] Are you African-American, OP? Does the word 'read' allude to reading the Bible?

R11, are you a bigot?

What was bigoted R75?

Nobody but a retard cares what this Mary! thinks.

"An idiom, at first especially in the black LGBT community)

He's trying to sell his apt in trump tower

Don’t white gay men want to be black women, hence the “read to filth”?

He seems prissy and self-involved, but with his massive fame, looks and wealth I imagine that isn't hard to predict.

[quote]He seems prissy and self-involved

Moon in Leo.

Good for him. He needn't be morally pure for it to be a good thing for the millions who look up to him to get the message that water is better than a sugary drink.

But such a minor gesture by CR7 and he wipes out $4 billion from the company? Makes one wonder what the true value of that stock is.

R81, I remember how tragic he used to look when he was younger. That face was screaming for a bag.

I would be very happy sharing my life with him.

Read to filth has been around forever in fag lingo, you old queens are exhausting.

^ It's black woman speech, not fag lingo.

R7: It’s irritating that having an opinion that is not crackpot is considered “woke” now. He didn’t do anything woke. If anything, this will offend people who want to say that you shouldn’t judge beverages.

I happen to like his color, and prefer brown men, but I've been to Portugal and I have never seen men as dark as him. Most are Mediterranean white. What's up with his color?

Why are there so many shills and stooges posting here from Coca-Cola Amatil?

Sad about the $4 billion wiped off the company value are you?

R90 He's naturally very pale complected. That's all tanning beds and spray tans. Check out r85 for an unenhanced Ronaldo. He's the male Kylie Jenner.

The kids today, with their slang and their music! Why can't they listen to The Andrews Sisters?

I thought Europeans preferred Fanta.

^ They do

R94 In France we drink Orangina, not Fanta, but cokes (all of them) sell way more than fruit sodas and ice tea. The slogan of Orangina is "Shake it, or the pulp stay at the bottom", their old ads are really fun. But you're not suppose to drink it every day, it's more like now, when it's really hot, or you're having guests and have an apéritif.

[quote] list of all his sponsors. LFC is one of them.

Somewhere in Glasgow, Steven Gerrard stops in his light midday jog, and claws and clutches at a sudden inexplicable stabbing pain in his chest. As he catches his breath, he makes a mental reminder to take Nando’s picture off his phone lockscreen, and ask Redders to tell Frank to stop spamming ‘I miss you’ texts.

R85 and I still remember how tragically he used to play.

People forget that he didn’t come to Man United a full-fledged superstar, and that the club didn’t actually want him, particularly. MUFC first bid the money they eventually spent on him to try and get Ronaldinho (Barça gazumped them), and on signing ‘Ronaldo’ instead initially failed to clarify which one they meant. Fans were so let down to get a pasty, spotty, unknown little gremlin, and the reception only grew worse when it became apparent that this new teen signing was a fanny-merchant, a cameo, and a show-pony. It was all just sloppy juvenile stepovers, dives, and pointless charges into open space for his entire first half-season. You could see Roy Keane slowly losing what was left of his mind trying to get Ronnie to just fecking play the ball right.

In fairness, though, Cristiano just absorbed the first few years of criticism, and used it to charge his power for an eventual rise to glory. He really showed his detractors what was what.

He won’t allow Junior to eat a single Haribo. Poor kid is going to grow up so deprived of normal little childhood pleasures, and will find it harder to relate to other kids I expect.

If this guy is now a billionaire don't you think a good part of it is the sponsorship of Coca Cola? If he's so disgusted maybe he should return a chunk of his salary. It's dirty money.

[quote] If he's so disgusted maybe he should return a chunk of his salary. It's dirty money.

Why is everyone stare at me?

No, I don't think that, R101. If he's never been directly sponsored by Coca-Cola (and he hasn't), he doesn't owe any of his fortune to it. If Cola sponsors soccer more generally, that's not anything he can control or take responsibility for.

No nerves before the Germany match.

Is he going to fly high forever? Or will there be a comeuppance?

And who is going to be his immediate successor in the beautiful game? He doesn’t seem to be grooming anyone, besides his namesake son.

Apparently UEFA are going to fine any players who move or remove the the bottles from now on. In retaliation, they should hold them in front of their faces or something.

[quote]Is he going to fly high forever? Or will there be a comeuppance?

You mean his rape case?

[quote] The kids today, with their slang and their music! Why can't they listen to The Andrews Sisters?

The Pointer Sisters are about halfway between then and now by now.

r105 He just scored against Germany. He's unstoppable.

There was talk about Ronaldo playing for the US or coaching here after retirement. Hopefully that does not happen.

R110 that won’t happen, don’t worry. Cristiano does not have the necessary psychological resilience or the correct set of drives for a manager or coach, so even if he tries it out as a second career, he’ll give up quickly once he sees what it entails.

See, success in top-flight football management means almost the opposite as success in playing. A manager has to be so mentally unshakeable, and willing (even eager) to endure the ire and hatred of everyone around (sometimes including players). It’s a rewarding role, but I daresay it’s not fun, and if it is fun then you’re doing it wrong and won’t be in the job for long.

The greatest managers in history tend to have a similar profile—unremarkable former players who left the game young or early in their career (sometimes against their will, due to not being good enough or due to outside pressures). A feeling of unfinished business in football drives them on to seek the success they could not on the pitch.

Finally, managers subsume everything into their team and their players, usually sacrificing family time, outside pursuits & lesiure, and various other freedoms that highly-successful top-flight retired players take for granted. Managers support and back every players they have, especially the ones who are not with the program at first, underperforming, or not as strong and skilled as the manager/coach may have been at the same age or level.

Personally, I can see Cristiano making a really good trainer, or an ambassador in the game (especially for disadvantaged youth). Perhaps I’m too cynical or bitter as a non-fan, but I just don’t think he can bring anything to the table in terms of management & coaching.

R111 wow, great points

What about an owner, R111? Same thing?
