    Unless you think Messi is some morally-just angel with the temperament of a preschool teacher

    I think most people do treat Messi that way though.

      Yeah, this infantilization of Leo Messi never sat right with me. Just because he is introverted doesn’t mean he won’t get into squabbles with opposition players at all.

      As a general statement, Rodrygo’s dad is right. It’s just that context doesn’t make the statement look great.

        Lol Rodrygos dad is right ??? He literally posted this cuz his son is involved…and you wouldn’t believe me…why is son is involved… Apparently he called the captain of the opposition team coward for not playing a football match cuz people from his country were getting beat up with batons… I mean who even priorities stupid lives of people over a football match… Definitely right dad…

      The issue is that people just glorify these athletes. Messi is a reserved guy, not very outspoken guy, but when provoked he will attack back. Should not be shunned for it, he is still a human who is going to defend himself. Just cause the guy is quite and not assertive, doesn’t mean he isn’t spineless.

      Like any person, even if they are calm and relaxed nature, they will attack back at a certain point.
