First Cristiano Ronaldo and then Paul Pogba. Where and when
will the buck stop and what could sponsorship giants like Coca Cola
or Heineken do?
Earlier this week, footballing icons, which included the likes
of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba, made the headlines during
their respective press conferences, whereby they removed the UEFA
paid sponsorship products from view of the cameras.
In the case of Ronaldo, the Portuguese national is seen to
retract two glass bottles of Coca-Cola from the table, as he then
picks up an unbranded bottle of water, stating the words
“agua”, seemingly encouraging others to drink water
instead.
On the other hand, Pogba, a French national and devout
practising Muslim, similarly, is seen removing a bottle of Heineken
from the table, before he began addressing the journalists for his
post-match press conference following his win with France.
