Not to pick you up on this, but it's also interesting the word you chose here... "idiotic" by Ronaldo? So not conniving, disrespectful, duplicitous, unprofessional? Idiotic suggests someone too dumb to know any better, whereas what we know that Ronaldo has a team that shapes every public utterance to the betterment of his brand. He thought about the effects of doing this interview, considered the negative consequences it would have on the club that pays his wages, and did it anyway. Idiotic? Cowardly, sure. But he knew what he was doing.
