The US footballer seemed to indicate her opinion on a ruling not to prosecute Cristiano Ronaldo over allegations he raped a woman in Las Vegas in 2009.
United States and Orlando Pride footballer Alex Morgan has taken to social media with an enigmatic, and seemingly critical, reaction to the news that Cristiano Ronaldo will not face prosecution over allegations of rape.
The Clark County District Attorney's Office announced that it has declined to initiate proceedings against Ronaldo, 34, who was accused by the model Kahryn Mayorga of raping her at a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
"Now this is great journalism"
Writing on her Twitter profile, World Cup-winning striker Morgan appeared to indicate her opinion on the ruling by sharing a link to an article entitled "Ronaldo is an Icon of Corruption in Sports", and captioned the post with the message: "Now this is great journalism."
The article, which appeared in the magazine Vice following Der Spiegel's publication of the allegations against Ronaldo in October 2018, discusses not only Mayorga's claims, but also other accusations of sexual assault against the Portuguese player, and his problems with the justice system over financial issues.
In one passage particularly critical of the Juventus forward, the text - authored by Brenda Elsey and Jennifer Doyle - reads: "Cristiano Ronaldo offers himself as a monument to masculine perfection. The presentation of Ronaldo as superhuman shrouds both the athlete’s wrongdoings and the rapacity of the corporate thieves running the game."

The most stupid people in this world are Ronaldo is fans. They so stupid that they don't want anyone to say anything against him, even if they are saying the truth. To hell with all those stupid Ronaldo fans. I m saying it again.. Ronaldo is a corrupt person and must end his life in jail. So anyone that can't stand the truth should go to hell

Now, her dignity is overcome by her pride. Many people didn't notice this, but for Ronaldo, the more he became successful, the more humble he becomes. If you don't believe that, check his past and present.

you know the funny thing these women claim to be just as professionals when they don't know a dime about it the two monsters of football Messi and Ronaldo and other successful footballers earned thier standing not only because of thier astronomical talent but thier focus and hard you think they just became super earners by magic. Study men's football check stadium attendance check sales and merchandise sales which one of the female clubs can proudly say they attract the same check how football started maybe you'll tell me sir Bobby Charlton Pele or gerd Muller were paid much when they started. Overtime people paid more money to see them bought thier shirts and merchandise that's how they became big earners. all these women players are not happy that at least they are getting paid despite the small income they generate. i Know you guys are going to say wow I wrote dis but I don't know why dis women have to make everything about themselves every single thing that happens has to relate to them it pains me, come on guys who agrees with my comment
