UEFA is facing a backlash from these business behemoths. I understand they're trying to keep their own end of the bargain, deal, but as is oft the case with them, they're just too AUTOCRATIC.

Pathway2Gold:


I think that action Ronaldo took has really influenced many to drink more water. Personally, i developed sudden desire to drink more daily.

Pathetic.

CamusMidas:

Pathetic.

Wow. Really??

unmask:
If we do take that position, then we would need to include things like playstation to the list because it is just as addictive as the rest of them if not more and a host of other products. If Coca cola was considered to be as "dangerous" as you are saying, I am sure they won't be sponsoring the tournament. Like everything in this world too much is were you need to draw the line.

So I disagree with your argument on this being an ethical issue. Too much Coke may be bad for your health, but moderately taken it is not. Except we want to start listing everything "junk" and telling everyone to stay away.

Explain how playstation fits into direct health issue. Are we talking of addiction here? Did I mention addition in my posts? You came up with it. My approach is its direct harmful effect on our health. We are talking about physical condition and not mental condition here. And how does playstation'a addition lead to physical breakdown? Please explain.

I am not addressing everything. I am addressing only refined sugar. And all by products. We will win it one by one. So, get it straight sir.

Moderation doesnt come in. I have shown how we destroyed Rothman and Britiah Tobacco. Of course, if you smoke moderately, you will not get cancer. But did we push for moderation consumption of tobacco? No. What is bad is bad. Get it straight into your head. If I have to knock your head to open it, I will do it. Enough of you being manipulated. Sponsor sponsor sponsor...and so what? They sponsor to gain. Someine else can. They arent the only company around.

Talking of moderation, a 35cl bottle of coke has 16 cubes of sugar, Is that moderation? Answer cos you are talking like someone with knowledge. What we have common around is 75cl bottles. So, you take about 34.3 teaspoon of sugar everytime you consume it. Waoooo! Do you know how sweet 3 teaspoon will be in the same amount of water, not to talk of 34.3 teaspoons? What kind of moderation is that? Answer bro.

Seek knowledge so you do not perish. Ask questions before you rush to defend anyone. I pray the veils in your eyes will be torn. You want to sound sophisticated with me. Continue. You will injure yourself. Oga continue drinking Coke. Goodluck!

Keep defending Coke while people who understand this thing is trying to safe the ignorant you. Goodluck!

eallstar:

Oga betting is different from this, allowing players to bet or drink will compromise the game. These companies target the audience or viewers of the game not players themselves.
How many players do we have compared to for example camp nou capacity and viewers from all over the world watching LA Liga or premier league?

I'm only trying to point out the hypocrisy of the FA. I'm not saying their action is illegal.
Btw, they have turned the sport to money ventures, so the players and FA are both guilty of it.

Kilishihunter:

So what of Warren buffet that drinks coke and is still living in his 80s? All these just to support sponsors beverages being moved away by those 3 players Couldn't they have made their preferences and insistences known without tampering with those bottles? Would they die if they didn't And you are busy shouting coke banned from sponsoring sports? How many companies have the financial muscle and worldwide relativity of Coca-Cola? They sponsor the world cup, some football clubs and leagues but you are here talking as if it's easy to just get sponsors and money especially in this Covid ravished age Drink your water in peace and let those that would drink coke do so

I read about Buffet, but there is something in him which helps him. I do not know, but we will know. Even some special people smoke a pack of tobacco daily and had no cancer. But does that justify it? It is bad for normal people. Some may survive it. Apart from Buffet, canyon name like 100 people who lived till 80 years that consumed heavily like him? If you take up this challenge, I will give you 200 people who are seriously affected. In fact, I will give you 10,000 for every 100 you provide. And I am sure you cannot come up with even 5.

What I keep talking about financial capability. Rothman should be allowed to sponsor to cos they can. British tobacco should too. Or what do you think? Oga, soldier go, soldier come. If Coke is barred, another company will take it. Football has been in existence before rhe existence of Cocacola, and it will live beyond Cocacola. But Water is in existence before Football, and it will live beyond it.

Stop defending or discussion what you dont know about. Stop it.

Then why don't you watch only competitions and tournaments sponsored by 'Water' and leave this one for the rest, I was just laughing at your statement that Buffet has something in it that keeps him going, Bobo something must kill a man or don't you know of people who are allergic to certain foods and substances, Is it only through smoking or sugar one can get cancer? If you know coke or tobacco would affect you Don't take it Nobody feckin forced you And the rothman and British tobacco you're talking about don't have the financial might and global pull of coke If you try to counter on this one I'll embarrass you with news and proof, Maybe you are the one that would find a sponsor for a brand it's global and hardcore rival Pepsi hasn't been able to topple for some time now, Maybe if these sponsors didn't come up, you'll be able to see a well put organised,colourful competition unlike the 60s or 70s, Drink your water in peace and leave coke
Nobody is forcing you to buy what they're marketing or watch the competitions they put their money and influence in Period

I have shifted the coke I have un my fridge up and down since yesterday and yet nobody has complained.

This life no balance at all.

To be frank I understand their anger at him. After all the stock value crashed with 4billion dollars after that move.

I would be very angry too.

Paul is nothing related to any religion, it’s Hebrew language

illicit:
A Muslim called Paul

Those companies are the reason why we are watching all these games. It is a sign of disrespect and unethical of players to pass a wrong message across by removing them... Imagine champions league without Heineken

We arent talking about allergies.

We are rendering Cocacola the Rothman's way. Do you know how strong it was before? People like you will enjoy the dividends of our work. See, just relax. IF Coke refuses to do the right thing and change to a good compatible for humans and healthy, we will bring them down soon. We will.

If people in those days had agreed to ....they weren't forced to smoke, Rothman will still be powerful. People like you wouldn't habe made it possible to print "smokers are liable to die young" on cigarette packs. But we thank God some people resisted Rothman. We will resist Cocacola too.

Well, this is my last word to you. You have decided to be a slave in the hands of the powerful guys. Congrats. But we that know the truth will still continue with the campaign so the next generation can be free from refined sugar. People like you are useless for good causes in this world. No brain to see the manipulative style of the rich. If they package poo for you and tell you.it is good, you will support them cos they spend big. This is who you are.

We are talking of healthy sugars you went the way of Pepsi. Mehn! It is disastrous what these big money spenders can do. They twist brains of people who should think and render them useless. Mehn! Na wa oooo! Well, you will be alright. Dont worry.

You are a follower..when we win the battle I know tou will be the ring leader to celebrate. Always with the winner. Such is your life.

Goodluck!

Like I said earlier drink your water and let those that would take coke do so in peace, Maybe you are the one that would provide jobs for millions of people around the world if it miraculously collapses Your own is close down, close down Yet no viable solution from you
Milk, bitter sodas,malt drinks et al are there. Take it and leave coke alone Nobody forced you at gun point to take it instead of giving me unnecessary shalaye Stop twisting my words about Pepsi I used them in that context cause of you saying you'll get another sponsor instead of coke like as if it's easy in the first place And if you continue watching the euros and world cup, which coca cola invested money into to broadcast then you're a heavy hypocrite

Elock1:

Way to go.

The other day I was telling a friend that c. Ronaldo was wrong.. He no gree accept.

Saying I'm a barca fan and I don't just like ororo.

I told him it's not about football here.
These guys are sponsoring the tournament.. Thereby paying you directly or indirectly...

And if you being such a big name take off their products it will send a wrong message to his fans and they may loose money.

But trust ororo boys, he started shouting barca fans and hate bla bla bla.

C Ronaldo don't do soft drinks due to the harm to the body overtime and prefers water and the water he raised and kept on the table was also produced by Coca Cola so why are we not bothered more about the harm soft drink causes to the body?

On Pogba case it is against his religion to drunk or personally promote alcohol, so he took it off and left the other products by the sponsors that is not against his religion. So in summary C Ronaldo dont want to be seen to promote soft drink since it does more harm than good while Pogba don't want to be seen promoting alcohol which is against his religious beliefs.

paddyDIGITAL:
Good move by UEFA. How will Advertisers make money to sponsor football events when players disrupt their advert campaigns?
So much arrogance by rich footballers.

No sponsorship, no football matches, no fat salary and bonuses, no super rich Ronaldo. Are you telling me all that Ronaldo drinks is water? These guys drink expensive wine; a bottle of wine that can buy a car. Now he's forming diet expert in public.
All of us know how to drink water. While you enjoy your life with expensive wine, leave us to make do with the coke we can afford. Life goes on.

You have spoken well and I do understand what you said but if you follow CR7 very well, you would understand why Ronaldo hate that drink. He has wanned his boy not to take that drink again but he would not listen. He said this during an interview some years ago. He said taking ordinary water us better than that coca cola because of the content inside.

He did not just start this today.you can watch his interviews mostly on his secret to his career and plans he has for his footballer boy

It is so simple, footbal is not a religious affiliated gathering, if your personal believes don't allow you to sit infront of a product.. Then you can as well don't partake in a tournament sponsored by such products.

You can even imagine the hypocrisy on his face,like see his reactions

sunshineV:
pogba is a bloody hypocrite. he doesnt drink alcohol so he took the drink off the table but he plays a competition sponspored by the drink and get paid from their earnings, what level of nonsense is that? besides, who said he had to drink it? just give ur speech and leave but leave the drink alone. islam and hypocrisy

Elock1:
then he should sit his ass down at home and or play in a tournament sponsored by a bottle water.

You don't get the point, do u?

So hypocritical. Who asked them to take it in the first place. They should be fined heavily sef. That is why I like USA regulators, they would have started investigation to fine them because they wan spoil some businesses.

Above all, Pogba we b fornicator too. No judgement but come on you too are not clear, STOP PREACHING TO US

Princedapace:


Yea... That is why Nigerian league is suffering. No sponsor. Govt can't fund sport.
Sport is business.
Sponsors put in billions into leagues in Europe and make profit via sales. So it is so wrong to take away the sponsors brands becus they are the ones paying huge money the clubs pay players and UEFA use to organize their leagues.

Being in a mess is different from not having sporting events.

So you decided to single out Pogba because of your hatred for Islam and Muslims.
Is Ronaldo and the other Italian not getting paid.
Nigerian Christians and hypocrisy.

LesbianBoy:
It will soon become a trend

Meanwhile why is uefa behaving like Nigeria government trying to force something on the players

do u without the sponsors the tournament cant hold.

It is such personal believes/religious believes that makes such people like C Ronaldo and Pogba greater than many others while some end up being an unknown critic.

sunshineV:
and who said ronaldo isnt an hypocrite by biting the fingers that fed him?

... you mean the same finger that "tripple" their profits through his "professional image".

Do you think these companies sponsor sports out of humanity?
How come they don't throw such fundings into health, education etc?

They are ripping "good returns" through these stars career!

Besides, my question is: why isn't CR7 action blamed on his religion (Christianity) like you did for the other Muslim guy

Hypocrisy is not your only problem but arrogance and hatred,.
You had to wait until you are called out for your hypocrisy.

okay I see where you are going. But if you see what's wrong acknowledge it and stop licking some ass of someone who doesn't even know.

My post was so people know he was wrong, no matter how rich or influential you might be you can still make mistakes and be corrected.

alfarouq:

im arrogant? U are dumb

sunshineV:
im arrogant? U are dumb

Yes, you are. Sorry, if no one ever has the courage to tell you that but you are indeed arrogant.

Many arrogant people pretend to be humble.
The first and greatest sign to recognise arrogant people is that when they are wrong, they try to shift the goal post instead of acknowledging they are wrong, the worse amongst them will try to tell you that it is your fault and you did not understand them. The worst will accuse the person that called them out of being dumb and not capable of understanding.
