The statue of a living football legend Cristiano Ronaldo installed in Calangute has raised a hue and cry! Strangely, this statue was not installed by ‘mass’ forces from inside and outside Goa like that of the Maratha King installed in Mapusa!
Alcohol abuse is rampant in Goa. Along with drugs, it is taking a toll on lives and football. Coastal Goa’s culture of EDMs and drugs, pub hopping, junk food, no restrictions on sale of alcohol and drugs to minors, the NYE partying in Goa despite logic on Omicron demanding otherwise, is rampant.
Ronaldo does not drink alcohol or junk caffeine soft drinks. He hits the gyms instead of the pubs! His personal chef disclosed his diet: veal, avocados and black rice with all food cooked in coconut oil and plenty of purified water.
Well, is this not the crying inspiration for all Goans today? Far from promoting just the sport it is doing much more! Should not this inspire Goans to ‘push aside’ the crooked beer companies that resort to surrogate advertising?
