In May 2021, as a violent conflict between Israel and Palestine escalated, a video went viral on TikTok that supposedly showed soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo making a political statement by snubbing the president of Israel.
Here’s a screenshot of the viral TikTok, which was viewed more than 5 million times within a day of its initial posting, along with the caption: “Christian Ronaldo doesn’t give his hand to the President of Israel because he supports the Muslims.”
This video does not show Ronaldo snubbing the president of Israel. This video, which can be viewed at the bottom of this article, was taken in 2014, and shows Ronaldo as he seemingly snubbed Michel Platini, the then-president of the Union of European Football Associations.
We Are the People, . yep, they sure are

In a collaboration virtually no one asked for that is sure to please only the handful of crossover fans, superstar Dutch DJ Martin Garrix teamed up with Bono and The Edge of U2 to create the official track for the 2020 edition of the UEFA European Football Championship. The track is titled “We Are the People,” as that was presumably the only thing they could find that their fans all had in common.
The mashup pretty much only makes sense if the Union of European Football Associations was looking for the biggest possible names to feature on the promoted track for the massive soccer tournament, and we all know U2 has a long history of shoving their music into the hands, pockets, and ears of unsuspecting and unwilling listeners. Maybe they pulled names out of a hat for the collaboration this time, or perhaps someone at UEFA was just having too much fun with Mad Libs.
