This won't come as much of a surprise to any woman who stumbles across this blog, but men can be downright stupid at times. The only real surprise, of course, is that one of us is willing to admit it ...
Football may be king in America, but it's futbol that rules the world. It's a sport that can bridge divides that no political deal can cross, and is universal no matter tha language that the players happen to speak. If you're a futbol star, you can have it all.
Right now, Cristiano Ronaldo is very near the top of that heap. Playing for Manchester United and his national team in Portugal, he is known worldwide. That tends to mean you can have pretty much any girl you want, as well.
After Portugal's quarterfinal defeat in the recent UEFA Euro 2008 tourney, the paparazzi poured out a solid stream of CR and his girlfriend, Nereida Gallardo, frolicking on a series of beaches. OK, to be honest, it was mostly just shots of Gallardo - much like this one here. Popular soccer star, hot chick - it all made sense.
Until now, when word comes out that he's dumped Gallardo because "he's tired of her". WTF? Tired of this? OK, I know he can have any one he wants, and the world is one big multicultural buffet, but damn - that's a pretty harsh statement to make about anyone. Even George Clooney did a better job of cleaning up after dating his Vegas waitress. We'll see how the damage control goes on this one, but for now, enjoy the thought that somewhere, Nereida Gallardo is looking for a rebound boy ...
