So where was he speaking Arabic or why put a video that doesn’t back your claims
Lionel Messi is still struggling to say a single word in English meanwhile Cristiano Ronaldo can already speak fluent Arabic 😭😭😭
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows Cristiano Ronaldo speaking English in a post-match interview, not Arabic. Ronaldo has only used occasional short Arabic phrases publicly and does not speak the language fluently.

Ned was so incredibly naive
Ned walked in with the King’s seal. The Kingsguard still chose Cersei. Here’s why that wasn’t a betrayal of their oath.
This is the moment a lot of people still argue about. Ned Stark produces Robert’s last letter naming him Protector of the Realm and regent until the heir comes of age. Barristan Selmy reads it aloud in front of the entire court. Cersei tears the authority of that letter apart with one line: “We have a new king now.” The Kingsguard don’t move. They stay with her.
They weren’t supposed to turn on her.
Robert is already dead. His word as king died with him. What Ned is holding is a dead man’s instruction, not a living king’s command. In Westeros the crown doesn’t pause while people debate sealed letters. The moment Robert stopped breathing, the succession question became political, not legal. Joffrey had already been proclaimed. The court had already started treating him as king. The Kingsguard’s oath is to the King, not to the last piece of paper the previous king signed.
Barristan is the clearest proof. He is the most rigid honor man in the room and still doesn’t draw on Cersei. His duty is to the office, not to Ned’s interpretation of what Robert would have wanted. At this exact moment, the office belongs to Joffrey. No one in that hall has publicly, legally overturned that. Ned knows the truth about the children, but he hasn’t proven it in a way that forces the court or the Kingsguard to treat Joffrey as a pretender. Until that happens, they are protecting the king.
Cersei also understands the real rule of the room. A letter is only as strong as the swords that will enforce it. Ned brought the letter and a handful of men. She had the City Watch (already bought), the Kingsguard, and the throne itself. When she says “Is this meant to be your shield, Lord Stark? A piece of paper,” she is correctly identifying that Ned is trying to win a power struggle with a document instead of force. The Kingsguard are not philosophers. They follow the power that is already sitting on the Iron Throne.
Ned’s mistake was assuming the institutions would protect the written word of a dead king over the living claim of the boy currently holding the crown. He walked into a room that had already accepted a new king and tried to reverse it with protocol. The Kingsguard didn’t fail their oath. They kept it to the king who was still breathing. Ned was the one who walked in expecting honor to outweigh the reality of who actually controlled the capital.
That’s the scene. Not a failure of the Kingsguard’s honor. A clear demonstration that in King’s Landing, the letter only matters if you can make people obey it.

Patriarchy existed to STOP OTHER MEN.
You really think men invented patriarchy to hold YOU down? You are too weak, too fragile, too irrelevant for men to waste invention on you.
Men invented patriarchy to protect their lands, food, money, resources, women and children FROM MEN.
500 years ago women didn't know what patriarchy was because it was SURVIVAL.
No police. No 911. No guns. No cell phones. If a rival tribe wanted you, they killed your men, raped you, took your land, took your food, and married you off to their sons or kept you as maids, servants, and sex slaves. That was history.
Patriarchy said: TOUCH HER AND YOU DIE. She belongs to this man, this family, this tribe. That was not oppression. That was a DEATH THREAT to other men to keep you safe.
Pregnancy = 9 months useless. Breastfeeding mother can't run, can't fight, baby cries and brings wolves.
Who hunted? MEN.
Who fought bears? MEN.
Who fought other men? MEN.
Who built houses in snow? MEN.
Who died in wars? 90% MEN.
If men left women alone to be "independent" in 1500, you would have gone EXTINCT in one winter. No food. No fire. No protection.
You are alive today because of patriarchy.
Modern luxury - AC, Uber Eats, iPhone, birth control, police made yall RETARDED and ungrateful. You think world was always safe.
You think animals don't hunt humans for food?
Who stopped all these? Patriarchy. Men who built walls, laws, armies, civilization so you can sit on TikTok with fake eyelashes and say "patriachy oppress me."
You are not oppressed. You are PROTECTED and too dumb to know it.
Without patriarchy, you wouldn't be CEOs. You'd be extinct or a sex slave to the strongest man in your own village that’s been conquered by the enemy.
Patriarchy is not why you are suffering. Patriarchy is why you are ALIVE to complain.
