Football is just a mirror of the real world. And as in the real world
it doesn't matter what the truth is, but who you support. I recently
overheard a conversation between two football fans about Mr. Cristiano
Ronaldo, and an apparent ongoing investigation about him and a lady. I
don't know what it is about, and will and can not comment on this; the
investigation should go its course and justice happen. But this was not
the case for these football fans, who had already decided on Ronaldo's
guilt because they clearly disliked him (I strongly gather they were
Barcelona fans). I am sure that there are also plenty of Ronaldo fans
who think otherwise: he must be innocent because he is the great
Cristiano Ronaldo!
Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed a great footballer,
and for the last years has been the greatest in the world. But that
does not make him more or less guilty of anything outside the football
pitch than any other person.
But of course, football fans do not think
like that.
Truth is a choice.
