A German Club Offered Cristiano Ronaldo A Lifetime Supply Of Beer To Play For Them

German third division club Fortuna Koln have jumped into the fray regarding where international superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will play next season. Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy at Real Madrid, and is said to be looking elsewhere. Fortuna Koln have offered their services as a landing spot. They cannot pay Cristiano in money, however, so they have offered to pay him in beer.

Hey @Cristiano, we're still looking for a striker-we don't have money, but we can offer you free Kölsch for life  #ronaldo #fortuna pic.twitter.com/SzlaDoMfvQ

Now, you might think this is the sort of thing clubs do just to get attention and have a good laugh, and that was probably Fortuna Koln's intent, but they did not do their homework, and that is sort of problematic in this situation.

You see, Cristiano Ronaldo does not drink alcohol. He does not drink alcohol because he takes ridiculous care of his body, but also because Ronaldo's father died from an alcohol-related liver condition in 2005, when Ronaldo was 20. Should you offer a lifetime supply of alcohol to a man whose father drank himself to death? We should think not.
