I watched that clip where Christiano Ronaldo pushed the coco cola bottles and opted for water instead. during a press conference. Coco Cola are sponsors for the ongoing Euro 2020 And this gesture cost Coco Cola $4 billion. in value. How precious are these players I say. Will the organisers react to this?. What say? Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo inflicted a $4-billion loss on soft drink major Coca-Cola with his gesture of putting aside two bottles of carbonated drinks and picking water instead during a press conference ahead of Portugal's match against Hungary.
Coke is a sponsor of the ongoing Euro 2020 in which the former Real Madrid star is leading Portugal.

I also read this news, I think it's a pretty painful blow for coca cola

When they were sponsoring the event that certainly was not called for.

I don’t blame him, but it’s a slap in the face to Coke.

If they lose coke would have the last laugh I know those carbonated drinks are not healthy so why not just do it discreetly? He is part of the system, professional sports is about money and sorry to say he just bit a hand that feeds him. Perhaps he should just make his own anti carbonated drinks advocacy and not join leagues sponsored by them.

Water is a lot healthier. Coca cola should have thought of that. It would have been better not to have those there.

He's absolutely right. I just hope he doesn't get sued by Coca Cola.

But he is not the owner of the game and he did not sponsor Coca Cola.

Star power. They got influences over their fans. He said no to Coca Cola, then lots of fan will also say no to Coca Cola. And that guy got millions of fan. This will effect Coca Cola.
