Ronaldo taunt sparks outrage

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly being investigated for making an alleged offensive gesture while playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Footage on social media appears to show Ronaldo cupping his ear and repeatedly thrusting his hand forward near his pelvis, seemingly aimed at rival Al Shabab supporters. The incident occurred on Sunday after Al Nassr beat Al Shabab 3-2. In the background are chants of “Messi.” Lionel Messi is Ronaldo’s longstanding soccer rival. The incident was not captured by television cameras but criticism of the 39-year-old Portugal striker has been swift.
