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.
Which category did you belong?
Rate yourself

lol i just called u dumb. u think i'm gonna read all these coming from ur blockhead?

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 dey mind the idiots they think the millions they are paid falls from the sky.

OlujobaSamuel:
Lol, same UEFA won't want a player to take a beer or gulp a coke before or during the match. Just like betting, they are ready to collect money from bet companies, but not ready to allow players place bet.

Typical penaldo fan.

What a stupid comparism..

Your head has not told you that there is time for everything.

That's called ethics, there are time for everything

You would have as well as advocated that government should allow drivers to drink and drive afterall beer companies pay tax to government.


This is 2021, try and get sense.

Judeoxide:
they must not drink it
There is power in advertisement
Sometimes after a very hard day at work and you keep wondering what to eat or cook on your way home, then baam
Those indomie advertisement and posters everywhere will just make you go for it
Those drinks might make many decide to take them at that very moment

See reasoning!!!!!

But the advert which is shown on every match time which pays the salary of this over pampered footballers does not have effect ABI?

Hypocrites.

samuel900:
It's encouraging, what he did was right..... many dieing of diabetics and others.....come isn't good for health. He passed a message there.

The same way he passed message to his fans to rape women and pass STD?

PeaceJoyLove:
I laugh hard esp with the front page comments. Big sponsors are the ones killing you. They are the ones giving you cancer and many bad diseases. Sportsmen have just woken up. And they are educating you. Yet the businessmen are trying to prevent them. Coke knows the damage their drink is doing, yet, they won't stop. And you guys are saying sportsmen are wrong. When you carry your own cancer or terrible disease, you will understand these guys are bold to do this. The same way, I talked about tennis - that babe boycotted most of the tournaments now. Ok ooo. Keep saying sponsors need to make money. They will make money with their terrible products, and you will even make doctors and drugs manufacturers happier. You will buy useless drugs cos they are sponsors too. Dont worry. Keep supporting those killing you cos they are sponsors who need to make money back.

What a dumb comment.

ThierryJay:
If Ronaldo was really sincere about other people living healthy, he should publicly ban the sales of Coke, alcohol, spirits and all other soda drinks at his numerous hotels and force customers to buy only water and let's see whether he'll have sufficient customers and revenue.

Its funnily convenient when your message is hurting another's business but you shield your own. How very hypocritical of him!

The clown na hypocrite.

Are you just knowing?

gbami:
What happened to personal choice. Don't I have freedom to choose what's place in front of me or not? Don't I have the choice to advertise a healthy drink vs the poison called coca-cola, Pepsi, alcohol and other so called soft drinks?

We are loosing it...You can't twist my arm to advertise what I don't want to advertise. It is called freedom..

Clown.

But they have choice to quit football and stop earning money from sponsors who sell deadly products.

Hypocrites

ThierryJay:


If we are to go the whole length, almost all fast consumable products that are popular globally have health risks. So by your logic let all of them kuku run down so people can be more healthy like they were 400 years ago, when these products were not in existence.

And who said people were more healthy 400years ago?

styleewhyte:
Then the big Stars will definitely stop appearing in the press conference... Someone like Ronaldo will definitely turn down a press conference

What valve does he appearing add to anyone's life?

styleewhyte:


Coke should have made a banner.. I don't support CR7 on that but let's take it this way... Make a banner.. The company's know what they are doing, You don't need to keep your drinks on the table. Players have faiths and believes.. And Many Fans look up to them... To see products they endorse

They can sponsor the tournament but don't need the Product on the table, it kinda implies the players take them...

If UEFA is this Naive to to warn countries... These top players will start turning down these press conferences... And that will be worse and they can use their platform against the company..

See reasoning.

Later go and tell your boss that or your clients if you are self employed.

May hunger finish you.

joshtooxplicit:


The person that collected the money should come and sit behind the table. They know he does not like coca cola or other Fizzy drinks why tie his hands to advertise them. Its Hypocrisy to not take a drink and advise other people to do so. The coca cola company have a water brand why not use it. I trust Ronaldo till the tournament end he wont attend a Press conference or he will do and Move His chair to the other side instead of the Bottle..
Dont be surprised that Pepsi is not part of Messis daily Life he is just doing it for the money, I drink because I love you and behind doors you dont drink.

You rate among the top 5most foolish people in the World

Chachamiliano:


To everything you consume on this Earth has advantages and disadvantages including water. The word here is moderate consumption.

Simple

You dey mind the idiots.

There are situations were you will drink gallons of water but you are still thirst, until you take Soda e.g Coke.

Everything has its work.

tunapawizzy:
Ronaldo has a hotel, do they sell CocaCola in that hotel? Has Pogba been to a club where they sell Heineken/Beer. Has he ever participated in a competition sponsored by Heineken(Champions League)? So what exactly is the point they are making.
UEFA and their sponsors own the platform and they decide how things are done, if u as a participant do not agree, just dont participate.

Very useless fools.

Who are beginning to over estimate their worth and fame.

BareFacedLies:


In case you have forgotten, he who pays the piper dictates the tune!

The beverage companies are the ones paying Ronaldo and the rest of the holier-than-thou gang so he has absolutely no right to disrespect them.

If the sponsors become offended and leave there will not be a football tournament to watch!

And let me tell you if UEFA is asked to make a choice I can tell you without mincing words that they would choose Coca-Cola over Ronaldo!

Who no know that one?

Players come and go but UEFA and football remain.

PeaceJoyLove:

Stop deceiving yourself with moderate consumption. What is unhealthy is unhealthy. What is bad is bad. Refined sugar is bad. There is nothing like moderate consumption. Get it right.

Clown.

Have you heard what is called low sugar diabeties?

Invitationn:

Point is, he's making a statement.
He's not going to love-vendor a product he doesn't use and has previously condemned... that's deceitful.
These guys don't care about coca-cola, their wages will still be paid.
A similar case is Naomi Osaka declining to attend press conferences after games; she knew she'll be fined but went on anyways!
She's creating awareness about athletes mental health.
Serena Williams had broken down many times during these press conferences where saucy journalist ask foolish questions not considering the athlete's state of mind.
I'm sure Ronaldo won't be bothered if he gets fined!

The real ethical view is that producers of dangerous products should not be allowed to sponsor any event, but the real motivation now is profit. Of course, if people did not come hard on tobacco makers, they will still be sponsoring events like this cos they have the cash. In the 1920s to 70s, cigarettes makers make people think smokers are effective and for "cool" guys and girls. You see them with cow boy hats standing next to horses showing they were in charge. But today, they still have the money and they cannot sponsor such again because some old Ronaldos and Osakas cameaafter them. Coca cola's time is up. I am confident the drink cannot survive the next 10 years. And all carbonated drinks will be flushed away. It is not your fault sir. They have just twisted everything and you cannot see well just like they twisted it in the olden days to make them see smoking as a cool habit. Some people started it against tobacco makers, and today they are forced to print on it that "tobacco smokers are liable to die young". I dont even think sports allow them as sponsors anymore. If yes, they have restricted way of promoting them. So, people like I needs to help people like you. You are still sleeping. Wake up! It's not all about money.

So, it is about stopping them. If the guys of the old took to your idea, we would still be slaves to Rothman, British Tobacco, and the rest. Are you not grateful some ppl stood against them for you?

See wannable prophet.

Get a life dude.

Lukuluku69:


Paul Pogba play Football for a living. If beverage company brings money to the game it meant nothing. Why? Before their money, people have played the game and will continue to play the game

Its obvious you have no sense judging from this comment.

PeaceJoyLove:


Yes, your concept is right. We will find innovative way of creating products are healthy as 300 years ago products. What we need to do is ban refined sugar, but give Coke like 3 years to come with alternatives. Then Cocacola sets up research team to look for ways to get quality good and healthy sugar. But since no one has come up against them, they are still riding us. And see, if they cannot get a good option, this world is so innovative, a new product will come. I am sure Coke can afford to buy such patent at a high cost. Many people tried to bring healthier products out but Coke killed them all.

On the other hand, you will be shocked that there might be already contingency plan that Coke itself has prepared cos they know one day, they will be stopped. and then, you will see how they will quickly bring out a new product with an innovation and quickly apply for its patent. See, you dont bring a new product out when you still have the market on your side. I am sure, there are already researches on better ways to get healthy sugar at a reasonable price, but coke will not do it unless they are forced to. Another product is flour. But that of sugar is too much - biscuits, sweets, cookies, food, drinks, in everything. I sw.ear if we can combat this war and win it, we will see the result. It is for pur good. Trust me.

Na only mouth people like you have.

If they ask you to lead this your comment by example , you will fail.

Agbegbaorogboye:

Well, if you know Ronaldo and his image rights, you'll know where I'm coming from.
He believes sitting behind a coke bottle is ultimately using his image to promote coke

Crap.

Who gives a Bleep about him?

Coke is a far big brand than your Ronaldo?

sowilli:
Simple- To protect the interest of both parties, create a legal framework should players be willing to grant interviews. Its more of an endorsement than health interest.

Do the players ask where the money they are paid come from?

For those of you here who think these companies are doing a favor by 'sponsoring' tournaments: THEY ARE NOT! I think the word "Beneficiaries" should be more appropriate. It's all business for them. I wish sports should help promote healthy diet and good products, not all these sugar products. I stopped taking "soft drinks" (there's nothing 'soft' about them) a long time ago when I discovered how poisonous they are to my body. Beer is not 'cool' even though I have nothing against it. there are better brands that football can/should help promote; brands that will benefit the world at large.

Thanks boss. This are the simple words I said and the young man decided to start insulting himself on Nairaland as if I was in a competition with him. I justed wanted to take a look at his profile on LinkedIn and he sees mine and know if am in my 20's like he thought. Most people have lived longer as a result of moderate consumption.

Chachamiliano:


Uncle I will not diginify you with an insult. If you feel am naive pm your LinkedIn profile and I will drop mine. This is one of the major reasons I like having conversations on LinkedIn. Coke for instant have been in existence since 1886 and they exist in more than 100 countries where they have certified health care professional, food technologist and government etc. Yet none have condemned or ban consumption of it or refined sugar. You sit there to call me naive Do you think Coke is a baby product? To even asserting me rendering a nation extinct.

Cute response.

Don't trade words with someone who waits for celebrity to motivate him and someone who barley understand how the World business is run.

Adakintroy:
My opinion is that take money from those who promotes the sport in real sense. Many don't know what "real sense means". If coke does not help proper health and fitness, then it s not promoting the football.

If Ronaldo who is an Apex authority on all things fitness is saying coke is not good for Sport in reality, then how can coke be promoting sport? Someone is not reasoning somewhere. And there lyes the problem of reality. Coke is not an healthy drink. Maybe for children it's ok. But not for adult. Which would you rather he do. Promote diabetics for his fans and have those greedy companies gain or suffer the companies and let is fans gain in health.

The world has gone to greed with money so much so little truth hurt their senses.

What a dumb & useless comment

rhames:


This was one out of the numerous reasons why the biggest clubs in Europe wanted to form a breakaway super league.

UEFA is becoming dictatorial in every aspect and it's transparency is in doubt. It is a citadel of corruption.

These individuals rights are universally guaranteed under any circumstances irrespective of what the sponsors think.

It is for UEFA to use every opportunity such as this to pass a message to its sponsors that the presence of their products at press conferences may hurt the sensitivities and beliefs of some individuals.

Crap comment.

The proposed breakaway league was supposed to get their revenue from I guess you?

Is it not the same brands that would have sponsored the breakaway league?

PeaceJoyLove:

You are an idi.otaaa for the underlined sentence. No one forced anyone to smoke tobacco in the past. But some people whose brains are better than yours fought them to still. It was "tobacco smoking is not good for your health" they were forced to initial print on their products. Later, "smokers are liable to die young". Some good people who refused to be manipulated and deceived started the campaign. I'm so proud of Ronaldo. He is my guy.

We said no to the money from Rothman for the greater good of the world, we will repel Cocacola by God's grace. And idiotaas and slaves to big spenders like you will benefit too. But we know you will still "simp" and chicken out when another good cause fight is out. You will always support the big money players because you are definitely not good using your number 6 to see you can defeat them. You only want to be continously intimidated. What they feed you that they call good is your good. You have no mind of yours to know what is really good. Get the crap outta my mention. Idiotaa that cannot make comment without using abusive language. M.umu.

Zombie.

Your type are only saying this becos your demi God said so.

Coke and cigarettes are two different things.

Sugar content in coke varies in different countries , some are lower depending on what the country wants.
besides Coke has Zero coke a brand for people who desire no sugar.

Stop sounding like Comic.

Ingnore the clown you pass him, both in this life and afterlife.

There is no evidence that what killed people was Coke.

Like any other thing over usage can lead to illness or death.
