THIS IS HOW YOU REACT TO SOMEBODY ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK A NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.
SIMILARLY, THIS IS ALSO HOW YOU RESPOND TO ASSHOLES WHO LAUGH AT SOMEBODY ATTEMPTING TO SPEAK A NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.
I love this. We need more role models like this in the world.
No idea who this is but A+ reaction
This is Cristano Ronaldo, Real Madrid and Portuguese footballer, and all round decent guy who came from humble beginnings in Madeira and has never forgotten them.
tumblr, meet your pink flower-wearing, gender-stereotype-defying, global superstar athlete prince:
I don’t know why people are so interested in what I wear on holiday. Last year, when I was in LA, everyone was talking about my tight trunks. Have you seen what people in LA wear? I was the most normal dressed person over there. Anyway, what’s wrong with wearing tight pants? They look good and it’s better than having tan lines down your legs.
This year it was the pink hat with the flower. I don’t see what is wrong with it. I can see why, if you weren’t comfortable with your sexuality, you might not wear it. But I’m very comfortable so it’s not a problem for me. Men wear pink these days. OK, not many men wear flowers, but it’s good to be different.
he also supports gay marriage:
“The Portuguese man that I am, I try to keep informed about what is happening in my country. I know the law was passed and the comment it deserves is that we must respect the choices made by anyone, because, after all, all citizens should have the exact same rights and responsibilities.”
and is a bone marrow donor:
I’ve been a bone marrow donor for several years. (Donating bone marrow) is something a lot of people think is a difficult thing to do but it’s nothing more than drawing blood and doesn’t hurt. I did it many years ago and if I had to do it again I would because this is a very serious disease for many children and we need to help them. There’s no age limit to this problem, so I think it’s a good time to tell people they can do it. It doesn’t cost anything, it’s a simple process and then you feel happy because you know you are helping another person.“
he also publicly speaks out against racism, has committed his time and efforts to forest conservation in southeast asia (as part of his decade-long advocacy for the victims and survivors of the 2004 tsunami), and personally intervened to stop a teenaged fan from being deported after the guy ran onto the field to meet him at a match, among other things.
