This thought comes to mind as I've just heard about Ronaldo being dropped from the Portugal squad. I just couldn't help but spot the parallel. Narcissism being the obvious trait between the three of them, but also self destruction. Ronaldo's behaviour at the moment reminds me of Trump with the election being "stolen". He could drag Portugal down with him in revenge for not being played. It's really important to remember what attributes have been given to these characters before their downfall. I saw through Ronaldo and McGregor a bit more easily than Trump. Trump was just a big orange old face to me, and so I really under-estimated just how dangerous he could be.
narcissism should never be allowed to run for public office. in sports, that's what sports is for, to be a mostly harmless outlet. or so i've been lead to understand. which is probably why it doesn't interest me very much. and thus have no idea who anybody in it is. somebody else does, that's fine. for them.
