    “Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”

    While I’d enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It’s despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.

    Interesting to see a president trying to curry favor with a global icon like Ronaldo, but let’s not forget his own administration has been more of a problem for America than CR7 will ever be.
