Anyone else find Real Madrid's excessive Ballon d'or campaigning laughable?

Honestly, its like if you don't agree that Cristiano Ronaldo should win it than you are against them. I don't remember the Ballon d'or ever having this type of campaigning until the past year, and Madrid are at the forefront of it all.

Apparently, Platini giving his opinion on who should win the Ballon d'or isn't allowed, but if he said Cristiano deserves it nobody would complain. Strangely enough, nobody at Madrid felt like complaining when Platini said a Spanish player should win it in 2010.

I mean its right to promote Ronaldo's cause, but they're going way overboard with this. It seems like this is an award that went from best player of the year, to whoever has the best campaign and can sway the majority's opinion, wins.

I agree. But looking at your recent comment history, I don't think they're the only ones campaigning.

Ah, typical r/soccer.

Instead of having a discussion on the topic at hand, they attack you for something that's irrelevant at the current time.

What's the point..

Except that it is relevant.You are campaigning against Real Madrid and Ronaldo,effectively doing what you are blaming others of.

I said I agree. Everyone in the portuguese and spanish media take it way too seriously. But you defending that point of view and then talking about it all the time here doesn't make much sense does it?

Almost as laughable as your excessive campaign against Real Madrid considering your comment history.

WHAT? the biggest and richest sport club in the world and probably history is marketing and pumping the ego of one of the best players to ever wear their shirt and second most expensive player in history? NONSENSE.

The real question here is, why are people so butthurt, if you don't care, don't watch the vote and don't read the articles and don't talk about it, ignore it, if enough people ignore it, it will stop being important, you dense fuckers are giving it so much attention and getting your anuses torn (your comment history) over a club that needs to make its OWN money, supporting a very marketable player because they can and it's good for them financially and in a sporting sense, fuck you and fuck off.
