people who keep calling messi “the most protected player in the media” must be missing part of their brainstem. last time i checked messi hasn’t been accused of rape, smashed an autistic kid’s phone, broken a teenage girl’s car window, pissed in the street, refused to pay a cosmetic surgeon, repeatedly hit opponents and tried to hit a referee.
not having endless scandals doesn’t automatically mean the media is protecting you. have you ever considered the possibility that maybe he just… hasn’t done any scandalous shit?
