Why did we let these two faggots ruin football and turn it into a sport more focused on image, branding and self-promotion?
That's happened to all sports, Anon
Stop wasting your time living vicariously through a bunch of narcissists. Play video games and get into e-sports. They're the future.

>image, branding and self-promotion?
Becks, yeah, but how is Ronaldo guilty of that? Name one thing.
>>68841718
>e-sports
implying vidya multiplayer/online world isn't a shithole
>>68841742
Are you for fucking real?
>>68841742
He might not engage in the same beauty-related ad campaigns as Beckham but at the end of the day he's a filthy materialist celebrity attention whore.
>>68841682
George Best is actually responsible for that, not those two. He was clearly the first footballer that obtained the celebrity status, making teenage girls wet their panties.
>>68841808
No. He might have done ads for aftershave and the likes, others did too (Keegan). Beckham and then Crynaldo have taken it to a whole new level
To Beckham and Ronaldo's credit, they're both businessmen who are using their beauty to cash in on the superficiality and vulnerabilities of the consumerist public. Are they really any worse then a person like Vardy who might leave Leicester for the money Arsenal is offering? Or LeBron for Cleveland? Or anyone else who is a slave to the money and everything that it offers to us?
>>68841682
Why is that white guy wearing cornrows?
>>68841914
He's actually black.
>>68841889
Problem is at least Ronaldo is using every match as a commercial for himself. His antics are 100% calculated image promotion.
>>68841889
Beckham was kicked out of Man Utd because he was essentially more focused on promoting his brand than delivering for Man Utd. Ever since the day Fergie fucked him off, Becks put self-promotion first, football took a back step and was more a means to keep him regularly in the public eye so he could shill for hair gel and fizzy pop.
>>68842014
He still played well at Madrid. Wasn't he on that zidane CL side?
>>68842045
No.
>>68841682
Why did we let narcissist and teenagers ruin the Internet and turn it into a medium more focused on image, branding and self-promotion?
>>68842071
Texas, kill yourself.
>>68842045
He was pretty gash at RM. He has passed his peak at that point.
Itt: Closet homos
Itt: greasy muzzie spics
>>68842319
he wasn't gash at RM. he pulled them through a bunch of games when the galactico experiment was failing horribly.
>>68842436
David, pls. You were a waste of fucking time.
>>68841682
We didn't.
This isn't a thing.
>>68842486
Fuck off, Vicky, you rancid arse-less bitch.
>>68842014
Because being a great futbollista can only carry you for this long, whereas being your own brand can pay you till the end of time (virtually).
>>68842724
Yes, because they never make enough from club salary alone.
Whats funny is that Ronaldo is one of the nicest people in football. Messi on the other hand is a prick IRL but people have this reverse image of them.
>>68842738
My friend, did you miss the time Messi frauded the Nation of Spain for ""just"" 4 million euros (which is a fucking change compared to his 60 million a year overall income)? People like them earn a shit lot, but also spend a shit lot. And when you're 30 and all out of cash you start asking yeself "what oughta I do now?".
It's not easy to scale down from something like that.
>>68841742
Americaaaaaaaaaaaaaans
>>68841682
Is that Riff Raff on the left
>>68841682

>Whats funny is that Ronaldo is one of the nicest people in football
Mendes, pls. The guy is a cunt.
>>68842781
We're not talking about Messi, you stupid fucking toilet cleaning boxhead.
>And when you're 30 and all out of cash
Looks at Ronaldo's salary from RM alone. He doesn't spend all that in a single year, spastic.
>>68842983
Oh sorry, didn't want to insult your idol Fraudssi
>He doesn't spend all that in a single year
He won't be retired from football for a single year either, nigguh. Look at the cost of life he's living now and imagine he'd like to keep it at the same level to the end as well as providing for his donut of a baby.
Again, scaling down from something like that ain't easy.
How on earth did Beckham build that media empire with a voice that's straight out of looney tunes?
>>68843018
The amount of shit you're posting is fucking embarrassing. Can't wait til we vote to leave the EU and forcefully repatriate all your Slav faggot countrymen that have poisoned our nation.
>>68843028
He mixes with the right people.
>>68842882
Pretty much, who'll be their next brand boy?
>>68843018
>ronaldo net worth +$300m
>salary at real madrid +$50m pa
>"b-b-but he needs to shill for herbalife, h-h-he needs the money"
>>68842778
Messi also loves war and poverty, while C. Ronaldo doesn't drink alcohol, nice guy.
Pbuh
>>68843084
don't know. James?
>>68843072
creepy
>>68843046
The fuck are you on right now, Nigel? Polish lad took your girlfriend to the theme park or something?
That being said, tell me how turning from a great football player that also makes money into a money making machine brand persona shit not about making more money?
>>68843089
Scuse me, but how is he going to cash in on that ""net worth"" thing? Oh, by becoming a brand for himself? Who'd have known.
He doesn't "need" the money the same way a war vet needs them to not starve. He "needs" them to be able to get a new lambo each year or whatever rich people do.
>>68843120
Are you ignoring his salary at RM, you dizzy third world cunt?
>>68841952
This.
His latest penalty was an example of that.
>>68841682
we didn't do that, and if you think so you're the faggot
>>68841914
In all honesty. We were probably doing them first.
>>68841682
2bh I find this a lot more jarring that whatever those two have ever done
at least they are obviously egotists so them doing what they do is to be expected, but bale's gimmick looks like something his agent or PR advisor told him to do
>>68843322
You did, yes
>>68843107
This.
why is this board so obsessed with cristiano ronaldo?
>>68843107
he'll be sold to make room for the next actual brand boy, who will be either pogba or lewandowski
>>68843345
africans existed before europeans
>>68843409
Unsuccessful awkward closeted fags projecting onto an attractive successful closeted man
Jealousy, wish fulfillment, sexual angst
>>68841682
Because it is all scripted anyways to sell football to the masses
>>68843555
>tfw you've accepted that you crave Ronaldo's BPC and are much happier now
>>68843571
EMBRACE the memes
>>68843555
Nigger fell for Mendes memes.
>>68843586
Who dresses this cunt?
they are the symptoms of all the money and branding that has gone into the sport rather than the cause
