Baba forget the usual saying...

You're what you eat.

Kingpin1000:

After that incident I also had a rethink, am not drinking coca cola. I don't see any benefit than increasing my sugar level.

Blacksavage:

Is possible na, my friends were thinking it's too much of lashe

phr0nesis:

It doesn't mean he should be eating unhealthy meals. Yes something must kill a man but do what you can to stay alive and healthy

BigDawsNet:
Ronaldo was supposed to pick just the water, answer his questions and overlook the coke...he was only doing I too know...it's not neccassry atall....

Gather here if you are c.ronaldo fans so we can go and beg Coca-Cola together

Reference:


I think you need a broader understanding of what is happening here.
There is a growing global recognition of the harm done to public health by the consumption of excessive amounts of sugar to which the beverage industry has come under scrutiny and pressure in many climes.

In my report I likened it to the anti tobacco movements in the 80's and 90's leading to the global ban on open advertising and promotions. Then the big players were official sponsors of major events including the world cup with very generous commercial terms but met with increasing resistance first by influential personalities just as in this case before a total outbreak of adversity.

It is those who realise what this potentially means for Coca-Cola and big beverage that reacted that way in the markets, not necessarily because it was Cristiano Ronaldo. They more enlightened places of the world have seen the first shots fired from within big business that can threaten the brand and will look anxiously in the next weeks and months whether this will gain traction and snowball.

CR7 did admit later (if you followed the story) that he had reservations and anxiety about the effects the consumption of sugar and bad food had in the the life of his son and was totally against it as a sportsman.

So he has his convictions but he is not the ultimate catalyst for any eventuality. There has been a growing movement and a heating battle in modern societies that sugar be made a controlled substance. And folks out there will be nervous to see whether CR7 proves to be the rogue skier who started the avalanche.

phr0nesis:

Are we not saying the same thing?

Vivien458:
Lol, which one Fanta and sprite, have you ever seen them do an advert abroad for Fanta, those ones are only your country. Abroad people don't know what is Fanta and sprite. Just cocacola. Besides, why keep two Coca-Cola why they can mix it up with the so-called Fanta or Sprite?

ThierryJay:


I'm well aware of the growing anti-sugar sentiments globally and that's part of what birthed all these Coke-zero, "Low sugar" drink options in response to those sentiments by the big beverage companies. It's also clear that these options have not suppressed the sentiments. But that's not the point of my position.

Ronaldo is free to have his convictions without criticism as are many others. I've also severely cut down on my intake of sugary beverages.

However, the key point is that it's inappropriate to express these convictions during an event sponsored by these soft drink companies. However moral it may sound, it's in bad faith and actually an unprofessional behaviour. If he had made the statement on his social media account, I would not criticize him as he is entitled to his opinions on such a platform.

Like I said earlier, how would Ronaldo feel if, during the launch of any of his hotels, the Pope then wades in to advise the global catholic faithfuls not to patronize his hotels because they encourage immorality which is anti-Christian? Even though we all know this is morally true of the hospitality industry, such an action will be highly inappropriate.

I really don't know how to process this information. He removed a drink from the table and chose another and automatically $4bn was wiped off the company value and even prompted the to issue a statement about the gesture.


How can an individual hold so much influence over the choice of consumers like this.


If I hit him with a deal, he will be hawking the drink on the express. That's if am the CEO of coca-cola.


There can only be one GOAT and he's a tall guy

Argue with yourself and your family plus village people

TSBO:
I am actually of the opinion that his action was beyond his stance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. He's a major influencer and him sitting with Coca Cola is really giving the product promotion that wasn't paid for. I think the removal was a combination of preference for healthy products, and irritation at "promoting" a product for free.

aysnoopy:
Something must still kill a man.
Cause he's going for good diet doesn't guarantee him long life.
May we all live long

Fkforyou:


You are mad, I swear


You just made me to laugh this early morning.
While giving him the deal, just make sure to remember investors money and not squander it all on Ronaldo

criuze:
Shifting the coke bottle is a direct attack to the brand


I dont think they block him,
As simple as picking a bottle of water their and forget these uncalled act


And he could still be paid for that as well

The guy's to self-ness thats why i don't really fan him despite being one of best player in history

Perfectnumber6:


Why will you beg coca cola is he an ambassador to coca cola ?..Bros as an athlete it is better you even take energy drink once once than these soft sugar drinks. Can't remember the last time I took soft drinks even malt.

Vaughanlanrewaj:

Not over consumers. Those are intrade fluctuations during trade and it's normal especially in daily wealth transfer in every stock exchange.
Incidentally, it may not even have to do with him but hey, it's a world of social media. Traffic is the currency and no deep mental thinking. Nobody will take a cut of $4b from his worth in the world of capitalism just because a footballer moved bottles visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria.
