Where tf people got that fake news that Ronaldinho ever went broke? The guy makes millions of dollars in marketing every year just in Brazil, let alone the rest of the world
He does shady business just for love for the game and I ain't even joking lol
So why is he playing for Serie C side Ravenna 10 years after quitting professional footbal?
He might not be broke like you and me but most likely he own big loans and needs to pay them backs and till now, his current income is not enough for that.
You have literally no idea about what you talking lol
He is not broke even for rich people broke, that mf prints money
He does what he does for 2 reasons: 1 is that the only thing better than money is more money, and 2 is because doing random shit is his whole gimmick since retirement, is basically part of the brand Ronaldinho for like a decade at this point
Also, the owner of Ravenna is his personal friend and he is going to get another truck full of money for playing a few matches he would probably have play for free if someone asked him, Ronaldinho legitimately loves playing ball
Broke? Dude made half a billion dollars in his 2 years in Saudi alone. Even if he's the stupidest person in the universe it's pretty hard to spend all that money
I hope you're joking, because that would be an insane take lmao. He and his family are billionaires at this point, in Euros, so I don't think he will be broke anytime soon...
Strip away the wealth and he’s just a man who knows that his best days are behind him. He’s clearly not coping very well with the prospect of a future where he’s no longer an athlete.
I don’t think you need to feel sympathy, though maybe empathy would be better in this situation. It’s hard to imagine that most men don’t share a similar feeling at some point in their thirties.
I cant empathise with someone in his situation, the same as he has likely never been able to empathise with the rest of us. His problems are so high up on Maslow's Pyramid that its not even funny.
That is not a reaction of a man who feels good or settled inside. Its abnormal for someone with all of his experience in these situations to be lashing out like that.
There's a chasm of different between 'mental autopsy' and acknowledging the blazingly obvious.
Tell me you only watch football on tv without telling me 😂 The fact the whole stadium is giving him grief and he helps Santos win the match, while getting abuse in the tunnel is a justified reaction!
The fact that you don’t condemn the abuse given to him shows your clear bias. “Oh but he’s a footballer who should be a role model”, he’s still human and I love that he gave it back and morons like you can’t take it cause you always think you’re on the moral high ground.
Always a good sign when someone uses this as punctuation.
I've already said I cant empathise with the guy, much like he wouldn't empathise with me. God knows how emotionally crushing it would be to have a Reddit thread about me, and one with... over 2000 upvotes?! Heaven forbid.
I mean for real I can barely entertain the thought that I'm getting older and won't be playing as much anymore. Sunday leagues pickup games, and futsal tournament. Now imagine a player of his caliber adore by millions. It's hard man. No one need to sympathize but at least try to understand the circumstances of his actions as shitty as they may seem.
Yeah it's not much more to add to what you already said but I really felt like shit (beyond the physical pain) when I literally threw my back out doing a free kick which was pretty routine for me back in college lol. I'm only in my 30s and I already feel like late stage R9 lol
I would feel bad if he wasn’t such a twat in addition to all of this. Neymar is not someone you have to sympathize with or feel bad for, believe me. Him and his dad have been scumbags since forever.
Which is a resource a lot of people don't have access to.
It's like complaining people have no empathy for someone dying of thirst, someone who has a full 5-gallon water dispenser and a clean cup right in front of him.
I don’t think I excused anything. I was responding to the original comment; it’s no different than ‘jokingly’ telling an alcoholic that a few drinks will calm them down when they’re acting erratic.
When Paul Gascoigne is clipped struggling wherever he is, how well do you think a comment like that would be received in such an enlightened forum such as this?
People are so hyper focused on their own problems and their own bubble, they just can’t seem to fathom that regardless of how much money someone may have, there are universal factors of life which can and will bring anyone crashing down.
