Football Star's Hooker Scandal Hilariously Embarrassing

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

The David Beckham of Brazil is caught in the Sex Scandal of the Week, featuring three hookers, drug allegations, the cops, and one humiliating revelation.

Ronaldo, the international football star, had a quarrel with 3 hookers he brought back to his hotel room in Brazil. He discovered too late that they were transvestites.

Poor Ronaldo... first, someone names him Ronaldo (ouch), then he becomes internationally famous and therefore has to hide his sexual proclivities, then those sexual proclivities come out in full force, splashed all across the large-print tabloids of South America.

To add insult to injury, after offering each individual $600 (to go away... or to stay?), one demanded 30 large or "she" would call her friends in the media. That unnamed transvestite, his/her feelings hurt, went to the police with the story that Ronaldo had asked her to pick up some drugs, although cops aren't buying her story at all.

All right, be honest now... do these look like men or women?

Brazil's Beckam? Uhhh no. Beckam is pretty Ronaldo, not so much. Beckam is over rated as a footballer. Ronaldo, not so much. Ronaldo at his peak was always a much better player than Beckam. Beckam's continuing popularity is based on his looks. Good for him, but doesn't make him Ronaldo's equal on the pitch.

I wonder if this would be considered a scandal (or even newsworthy) in Brazil if the hookers had not been transvestites?  

I have a feeling it's the whole same-sex thing that's making Brazilians uncomfortable, not the hooker thing, but I could be wrong...

it would have been vaguely newsworthy in brazil had them been actual women, but yeah, the transvestite angle is what's selling it.

and yeah, ronaldo was a top footballer in his prime. he went to two world cup finals. beckham is overrated as hell.
