If you like Messi, then you are liberal, leftist and probably also pro-LGBT*. And if Ronaldo is a conservative, he speaks in favor of traditional values and against the arch-satanic avogadeika. That's what scientists from Singapore said.
Researchers surveyed more than 10,000 people from 26 countries to find out who they identify with more - Leo or KrRo. It turned out that age, gender, education and social status have almost no effect on the choice. But political views - yes. People with more liberal beliefs were more likely to choose an Argentine. Supporters of an authoritarian management style, on the contrary, more often preferred Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is most supported in Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Egypt, Portugal, Singapore and China. Messi is the leader in popularity in Argentina, South Korea, Finland, Spain and Great Britain.
At the same time, the study revealed statistical relationships, and did not prove that football preferences directly determine a person's political views.
