The Ronaldo Saga….Seriously?

The Cristiano Ronaldo saga, or should I say ‘political shitfest’, has reached a new level. I just couldn’t have seen this coming, did you? With Ronaldo agreeing to Blatter’s comments about him being treated like a slave, it’s time for United supporters to hand Cristiano his hair brush, and show him the door.

He’s been great for United, don’t get me wrong. He was single handedly responsible for winning clutch games for the Red Devils. However, concurring that he gets treated like a slave? He gets payed £120,000 a week to do what he loves. I can think of millions of people that would take $30,000 a year to do what they love. I do realize when you get paid that much, money isn’t near the forefront of your mind. But, a slave? Bobby Charlton said,

If this is slavery, give me a life sentence

Both Ronaldo and Charlton’s experiences might have been different, given the time and atmosphere, but these Red Devils are arguably the best of their respective generations. Sir Bobby’s comments just go to show the difference in mindset from the two players, who have a 47 year age gap. Today, too often are players distracted by astronomical salaries and public relations. It’s about the love for the game. Where has all the love gone?
