I hope one day you don’t resort to whataboutism to devalue a ton of charity work.There we go. I'm not a celebrity who publicly donates to charity, so to you I've done nothing worthwhile. I hope one day you learn to expand your mind.

It has plenty of relevance in this thread comparing C Ronaldo to a notorious pedofile, as a whataboutism to devalue his character is peak Ronaldo hate.Just saying it’s stupid to use charity work as a marker of a good person. That’s not what people are judged on, it doesn’t have any relevance in this thread, much like Jimmy Saville…the tangent was created by you.
He wasn’t compared with Jimmy Saville. Jimmy Saville was used as an example of how poor charity work is as an indicator of a person’s morality. People are so touchy about Ronaldo.
Yeah because bringing up the most notorious pedofile in British history wouldn’t be emotive? The mind boggles..As a third party who has been reading the last couple of pages, this was my exact thoughts as I was reading it
I agree that charity work doesn't guarantee someone is a good person, but people are acting like he lunged at the kid and smacked him in the face. He lost his cool a little bit, and it doesn't mean that all the time money and effort he's put into charity is suddenly fake or irrelevant.It was more a point about not being so naive as to think charity work makes someone a Saint. I would've thought by now people wouldn't be stupid enough to do that whole cult of celebrity worshipping thing, as we've all see how dangerous it can be. But I guess there are still plenty of stupid people around who enjoy being sheep.
Someone posted the video, two people said it was a non story, and some people got really riled up. So yeah, people are pretty touchy when it comes to Ronaldo for some reasonAs a third party who has been reading the last couple of pages, this was my exact thoughts as I was reading it

So you are suggesting that someone that has spent years donating to various charities, giving up his time to help children with leukaemia, been recognised as a UNICEF ambassador worldwide, holds on weight in a random internet posters option that he is an awful human being?Literally, you are the only person making this a comparison. The point was clearly that charity work doesn’t equate to being a good person, as you suggested. and anyway, it’s not like there’s some very serious allegations about Ronaldo himself predating this charity work…
So is being a UNICEF ambassador good enough for you?It’s not devaluing his character, though. I didn’t say Ronaldo is like Jimmy Saville. I didn’t say Ronaldo is a bad person. The touchiness about Ronaldo is what led you to interpret it that way, but it’s a misinterpretation, as @Hernandez - BFA could see quite plainly…
I just said charity work does not make you a good person, that’s not what defines someone’s moral character, other things do. Jimmy Saville is one of many, many examples of bad people doing lots of charity work. It just isn’t a good indicator of whether someone is a good person. Unfortunately.
It’s wild!

So again in his thread Ronaldo haters have resorted to bringing up a notorious pedofile and homophobism, but it somehow his fans that are the problem. Keep letting yourselves down guys..it doesn’t matter if he’s a nice person or not, all that counts is what he does on the pitch. Stop defending him like he’s your brother or he gives a shite, he doesn’t. He sits in his mansion eating the finest foods and and sleeps just fine I’m sure. Probably sits on his phone laughing at the headlines. The only people who truely know him are the ones close to him. And they all say he’s a great guy. That’s what really matters and he knows it. That’s why he doesn’t give a shite.
He is worth £ 380,000,000, he could give you a million quid tomorrow and earn it back in a single Instagram post the same day. With interest. Is it really a massive shock he gives to charities? It’s small fry to him.
All that matters is he performs on the pitch. Stop dick riding footballers, there not gods off the pitch only on it. All that matters is what they do for you in a game. The rest is hearsay and talk.
So is being a UNICEF ambassador good enough for you?
I just cannot fathom why anyone would even bring up Jimmy Saville, did it not enter you head that, naw this is a bit fecked up when you posted that?
And you just proved that the point wasn't just about charity work by attempting to be clever.Literally, you are the only person making this a comparison. The point was clearly that charity work doesn’t equate to being a good person, as you suggested. and anyway, it’s not like there’s some very serious allegations about Ronaldo himself predating this charity work…
Was a disastrous signing, and obviously stupid at the time. He’d just spent 3 years making Juventus worse. Used to be a great player though, to be fair to him.
I think the best money you could spend this summer is paying him off and taking hits on Harry and AWB.
And you just proved that the point wasn't just about charity work by attempting to be clever.
Being patronising to try and devalue or shame me isn’t going to work.Are you ok? I have absolutely no idea why you’re in such a tizzy. Charity work is totally irrelevant to how good a person you are. You’ve been given a major example to prove that and gone off the deep end and decided to quote more (totally irrelevant) charity stuff.

I asked you if being recognised as an UNICEF ambassador was enough for you but you resort to being insulting and I’m supposed to accept your yard stick as to why someone is or isn’t a good person.
So we’ve gotten to the point Latter Day Saints aren’t even enough for phelans shorts off the internet.Ok then. No it isn’t enough. Lots of monsters have still done lots of charity work. Some of the most famously charitable people in history such as Mother Theresa were pretty awful.

It’s all alleged criticisms as far as I’m aware there is no outstanding truths in it, just a bitter man trying to undo year of good work by another person.Dude I think you need to Google her, she was horrible. Christopher Hitchens made a very good documentary (and later book) about it.
But hey, that’s quite off the point. Just as much as bringing charity work up is when talking about how good a person somebody is.
He's reacted angrily at the end of a game and has apologised and offered a token as a gesture of goodwill.
That's fine, matter closed as far as Im concerned.
A bigger issue is that several United players will have just walked off the pitch after giving a minimal effort, and will have been messaging mates about various "vibes fc" type activities, or arranging with their PR team to release another "keep trying....work harder" lie via social media.
Whatever your views on Ronaldo you know he has always taken pride in his achievements and being angry at the end of a game like that is understandable.
Id prefer that genuine reaction to those walking off with hands over their mouths chatting away about something they don't want us to see/hear about.
We've made so many terrible signings it's difficult to even know how to rank them anymoreCan’t find it in myself to give a shit about the smashed phone. The Jimmy Saville/Mother Theresa detour was fun though.
Anyway. Ronaldo. What a fecking terrible signing. One of the worst of the Ole era. Probably the worst?
Bringing Jimmy Savalle up in a Ronaldo thread this place has hit a new low.
I think we have enough of the pitch nastiness as it is.Good for him, nice to see a bit of a fecking nastiness in the squad. Need more of it in my opinion.
