That Totti such a nasty person! (1 Viewer)

I think that Totti, like any other famous player is a construct. There is a business around him, involving, team, sponsors, and agents.
Now, a part of the business is making the player look more humane, because that soft spot may be used to soften consequences in case the player acts like a jerk.
Given evryone does this, it is acceptable, it is like part of the game.
However, isn't it ridiculous that somebody who earns some 6M stipend, + ?M sponsorships tried to pass as news a .0035M donation.

I'm sure he is being managed, and his "handlers" are deliberate in making sure this is part of his public image -- to help the marketability of himself, his jerseys, and Roma (not to mention possible tax breaks?). But then of course, you can be a jerk on the pitch and a decent guy off of it too. So you can't say that's probably the only motivation.
Actually, what's probably more ridiculous is that the media covered it like something that insignificant was newsworthy.

so, how much is that??
I can't count the 0's!
anyway, thx Totti.
But a lot of people donate to charities, does that excuse all the ugly things totti made on the field? Spitting, jumping on a german (to mention only the youngest facts) aren't an example for the youth.
Totti is very talented but he isn't a nice guy.
Face it.

I agree.... annoucing that he's giving 2k seems like it's all for publicity and that he's just showing off. However, he is an example to many young fans and this is good to set an example to younger fans.
There are two sides to it depening on what angle your look from/to.
In the end, the kids get the help and that's really what matters.
Personally, I don't think his publicized charity should be condomned or celebrated. "To each his own."

sure the children will get the help in the end.but like I said, he abused the "act" for the public image.and not the children
and I agree that he should be an aexample for the youth.but not this way, he could be a good exaple on the pitch if he wants too.
Don't get me wrong, but I am against this things because of my religion.and because I agree with the idea (of the religion).

You are all being unduly harsh on Totti. Totti is known for giving LOADS of cash to several charities. He is one of the most involved players in the serie A, and tries to do this in the most discreet way, as his entering hospitals incognito to visit seriously ill children testifies.
I really doubt that he tried to use his auctioning that shirt as a publicity stunt, as it's obvious that this would have only produced sarcastic comments, as it has, rather than marks of appreciation.
