Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off during a recent interview with CNN Español. The Real Madrid player granted a video interview to CNN's Andres Oppenheimer in order to promote his new sports headphones, but got visibly upset when Oppenheimer started asking questions about the FIFA corruption scandal.
"How is the corruption scandal affecting the playing on the field? Is it something that worries you?," Oppenheimer asked Ronaldo in Spanish-to-English translation in the subtitles of the clip.
"It doesn't worry me at all," Ronaldo responded. "I do my profession, my job, I give my all to my club. The rest doesn't matter to me."
Throughout the course of the short interview, Ronaldo deflected more questions about the scandal surrounding FIFA. It is alleged that officials of the group accepted bribes in the past in order to determine which country would host the World Cup, according to CNN. But when Oppenheimer brought up the topic of the possibility that Qatar may be stripped of the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo took his headphones off and got visibly upset.
"This is bullsh**," he said to someone off-camera.
"Speak about FIFA, I don't care about FIFA. I don't give a f***. What, you want me to speak about product, they speak about FIFA, come on," he said before he walked off the set.
