The person who waved the rainbow flag was not Ronaldo, who was on the field at that time and had no idea what was happening. The person who waved it wasn’t even a player—it was an invader! The team’s star player doesn’t have a lot of fans watching him play; they’re usually just people who want to see him fail and make fun of him for trying so hard to achieve his goal. But this time around, there were plenty of people cheering for him from afar: They wanted someone else to take over their favorite sport’s most famous position because they felt like it would give them more chances at being popular themselves someday…

The incident comes at a time when LGBT rights in the Middle East are making headlines. Last week, Saudi Arabia became the first Arab country to pass a law allowing women to drive cars, and Qatar recently announced plans for marriage equality. In both countries, homosexuality is illegal and punishable with up to five years in prison under Article 1 of the Federal Penal Code (roughly translated: “Any person who commits an act against public morals”).
No one is safe from getting their big moment interrupted.

Conclusion
The world of soccer is a crazy place. We hope that this incident will remind everyone, no matter what team you support, that we are all human beings and deserve to be treated with respect. If you think about it, there’s no good reason why someone shouldn’t be able to enjoy themselves at any game without being interrupted by an obnoxious fan who thinks he knows better than everyone else when it comes to watching football games!
