#5 Enjoy their presence in the game instead of debating about an issue that is pointless
Trending
Social Media pages attributed to football can often be vile places; a cesspool of poorly thought out insults and jabs directed at players and opposition fans. The top of this list usually composes of 2 types of comments, “Messi > Ronaldo” and “Ronaldo > Messi”.
Every post on Ronaldo carries with it insults aimed at Messi, with the most popular one of late being “At least Ronaldo doesn’t cry and retire when he loses a match.”
Similarly, each post on Messi is filled with comments of Ronaldo being arrogant, not a team-player and the likes.
These are two professionals who ply their trade at the very highest level. The pressure on them must immense at all times, with their every action under considerable scrutiny and their faults often dissected under a microscope. It’s hard to remember sometimes, that they are, after all, human beings, that they too are prone to mistakes and emotional breakdowns.
The argument of which one is greater is a pointless one. It is subjective in its entirety. With both having contributed massively to the growth of football in recent times, the argument also feels quite hollow.
Instead of enjoying their presence within the game, we spend all our time needlessly bickering amongst ourselves, and if we don’t stop, we will definitely live to regret it.
