Cristiano Ronaldo Certainly Gets the Last Wink Laugh

The moment he was cynically branded the “winker” in Germany over the Summer of last year, the questions began to surface.

Could he return to play in a country that had so strongly vilified him for interfering in a moment of folly by the brave British Bulldog?

Would he quickly flee to Spain — where his sublime talent would be embraced by its culture, rather than mocked by the culture from which his sport was given to the World?

Return he did, yet would the bitterness and bile directed towards him at every opportunity become too great a distraction for his gift?

The British Bulldog forgave him many moons ago for the purported ‘incident’ — one soundly conjured up by the British press and their xenophobic leanings. To this day, some mystifyingly cannot let go.

But no matter, for he has emphatically answered all of the questions, sneers and doubts — and now basks in the respect of his peers. As all of the petty little enemies still out there grumble. Boo that.
