Ronaldo is a winner, though, and I think he's quite different than Lebron. Ronaldo has his public face and his private life, and it's clear there's a pretty big difference between them, and he doesn't really pretend otherwise, although he's all the time constructing his public image. More power to him if he really is gay (as pretty much every Madridista I know believes - and, on the positive side, no one much cares), but if he is it's sad there still isn't a climate where he can come out of the closet (just the other day Griezmann was going on in the media about how it was still hard for football players to come out publicly). In fact, media reports indicate that the club told him to stop his trips to Morrocco, which suggests that if there is a problem, it's with Florentino, but we knew that already.

I was responding to a post that compared Lebron and Ronaldo. I don't think it's a good comparison. Ronaldo is a clinical, dominant striker who has lead his teams to championships in several contexts. I'd pick him first for any team. I'd rather have Durant or Curry over Lebron.

you are absolutely terrible at watching basketball, but there are other threads for that.
that was also the longest way possible to write "I don't care if Ronaldo is gay", seems you do care, as evidenced by your "joke"
