Cristiano Ronaldo’s simple Eid Mubarak message has unexpectedly stirred controversy online. While many fans appreciated his kind gesture, others pointed out what they see as a double standard when it comes to religious greetings in football.
The football icon had posted:
“Wishing everyone celebrating a blessed Eid Mubarak! May this special time bring joy, peace, and happiness to you and your loved ones.”
However, the comment section quickly took a different turn. Here’s what some fans had to say:
- “If it was Mo Salah that posted Merry Christmas, Northern Nigeria terrorists would declare fatwa.”
- “Show me the Muslims wishing Christians a Happy Easter or Merry Christmas. The respect/submission goes only one way.”
- “You won’t see any Christians or Catholics crashing out because of this post, but when Mo Salah wishes football fans Merry Christmas, all hell breaks loose.”
This has reignited the debate on whether religious tolerance is truly mutual in football and beyond.
Here’s a link to the post, what do you think? Is there a double standard, or is this just social media overreacting again? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
