He is the top 1 or 2 ranked player in the most popular game in the world, for the past 15 years.

I don't get the hate. Not my taste in watches and I would never wear a diamond ring. But to each their own.

Oh. Well then I changed my mind. Go ahead and swear away in front of women especially women you don’t know.

Most people in the United States aren’t into soccer. Never really have been. I’m quite confident most serious sports enthusiasts in the US don’t know who this guy is. I only know who he is because I watched some of the last World Cup because some of my closest friends are from South America.

That's quite an odd yard stick within which to measure class, which many women (and many men too) i'm sure would totally disagree with.

No that’s just one way of measuring it. I apologize but I assumed most would understand that.

Is he not the same Ronaldo who paid off a woman so his rape charge allogations would not go to court..

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-a9071296.html

he is a celebrity who uses women due to his fame and wealth.. alegidly he also has a team of lawyers who are tieing the case into knots.. the women's leagues in the UK are up in arms about his case and how it's been put under the carpet

Talented footballer; unusual choices. But I hope he has made a wise choice in a financial manager.

An FYI to some of the posters expressing disappointment at the criticism of Ronaldo, some of it is meant to be humorous piss-taking - of which celebrities are a natural target; some of it is because Ronaldo is an exceptionally polarising figure both on the pitch (whiny ball-hog with Godlike ability) and off it (various legal problems alluded to above). And last but not least, the dude played for Manchester United so he obviously deserves a ribbing

Type it into Google you will see he is hardly a Mr Nice Guy.. he is a celebrity who uses women due to his fame and wealth

I’m pretty sure he is a family man with a long term girlfriend and 4 children...

The US woman who accused him of rape was clearly just seeking some form of financial settlement and the courts have not charged Ronaldo with anything...

You sound like you could be a city fan, or even worse, a scouser
