It makes it sound like what Ronaldo did was worse.
Here's a full audio version
How can he slap?
Kid was trying to get photo of his leg post match. Isnt that intruding his privacy? Dont think he will be charged.
Dont like how he reacted but people should ask before they start filming someone

It raises the stakes and shows how much of a bastard Ronaldo is because this wasn't just any regular child, this was an AuTiSTiC child.
It also takes someone's lifelong disability and turns it into a mere prop to be used by some rando on the internet but we'll leave that point out.
At a football match?
Might delay the game a bit if everyone has to line up and ask everyone else there if it's ok to get their iPhone out.
Did Ronaldo know the child was autistic? It's completely irrelevant.
Exactly.
Definitely disagree completely with the 2nd part, its rather the opposite, accounting for disability is showing the kid respect, not the other way around.
I mean the easy solution is to just not slap any children.
These Ronaldo fans are crazy, honestly never seen anything like it.
Now now, let's not go overboard here!
There were loads at full time with their arms out wanting high 5s whilst at the same time shouting abuse. Not condoning anything what Ronaldo did but do think it's been blown up.
I respect your opinion and we're all going to have different views on it, but I feel like in situations like this it comes across as trying to weaponise someone's disability without knowing enough about the kid. Especially with something so diverse as autism.
To be fair that’s a decent claim to fame. Forever the kid who had their phone smashed by Ronaldo.
The autistic boy was injured as well by Ronaldos assault:

What time is the vigil?
Thoughts & prayers.
Of course you're not. Why would anyone think that "Ronladovii" would perhaps do that!
I don't think this is a huge deal but it's not nothing. I reckon he'll a 3 match ban. Not saying he deserves one but I think he'll get one.

No
So to save time instead of giving out high 5s or slaps he combined them? Crafty
In relation to Ronaldo the autism thing isn't a factor, it's not like he would have known and I don't think that specific aspect can be held aganst him. For the kid himself it does make a difference though, it was his first ever football game and they can be stressful enough without being neurodivergent, so to get your phone slapped out of your hand by one of the players is pretty fecking shit. Hopefully it doesn't spoil going to games for him.
Much ado about nothing.
Police have launched an investigation into an "alleged assault"....
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61053927
"Merseyside Police said they were investigating "reports of an alleged assault" at Goodison Park on Saturday.
A spokesperson said they were liaising with both Manchester United and Everton.
"As players were leaving the pitch at 2.30pm, it was reported that a boy was assaulted by one of the away team as they left the pitch," they added."

This thread is a parody right?
slap kids phone - outrage
kungfu kick some kid - hero
Christ the night, get something better to do with your life
Who Kung Fu kicked a child?
If anyone, ever mind some some multi millionaire adult twat did anything of the sort to my kid I'd not just shrug it off.
Ronaldos apology sounds more like excusing himself from blame/diverting attention, rather than genuine remorse. Not good a move by his PR-team at all.
If Ronnie came out and did a public interview where he showed genuine remorse, said what the did to a possible innocent child is unacceptable I would be willing to forgive him, but as long as he is sweeping it under the rug and acting like its nothing I will feel appalled.
Embarrassing from Ronaldo. He really is a shell of the player he once was...both on and now off the pitch
He should be thrown out of the game
I for one am SHOCKED to hear that Cristiano Ronaldo shows narcissistic tendencies.
7 match ban please.
Oh it's a cherry on the cake of what the tosser did.
Exactly.
Just curious, as I am not from England - is it a crime or illegal to film a player like the kid at the location? A felony or misdemeanor even? I get that it could be viewed as disrespectful, just wanted to know if it could be more to it than that!
I dont know if the kid just was excited to see Ronaldo in flesh and wanted to film him and keep it as a memory, or if he was being disrespectful, that remains to be seen.

Healthy approach.
People who make it out as if it’s “nothing event” - I wonder how they would feel if it was their child’s hand and phone being slapped.
I don’t even have kids and even I’d get wound up by that prospect.
Ronaldo apologised which is good. He’ll get fined which is deserved. We can move on, but the pro-Ronaldo-above-all-else fans need to stop painting it as if what he did was an acceptable act and one that should be tolerated.

Wouldn't 9 months be more appropriate?
Video from the kids phone or it didn't happen.
Could of killed him
I am sure the detectives thats investigating the case will look into this. Forensic evidence could be crucial in a potential court case. Maybe its possible to detect if the alleged victim is hurling abuse at Ronaldo before the attack takes place - or if he is just an innocent part.
Kid was way over the barrier impeding Ronaldo's path and trying to photograph his injury. People shouting abuse ect. Ronaldo got annoyed by an asshole. Of course he was wrong because that's the position he holds.
