Ghanaian Witch Doctor Says He's Responsible For Ronaldo's Injuries


Recommended Posts

I'm doing a paper for one my classes on the influence of witch craft on African soccer and I came across this article and thought it was interesting enough to share.

Here's a quote from the witch doctor...

“I know what Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury is about, I’m working on him,” Bonsam, who serves at the ‘Kofioo Kofi’ shrine, said in an interview with Kumasi-based Angel FM.

“I am very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called ‘Kahwiri Kapam’”. [...]

“This injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the injury because it is spiritual. Today,it is his knee, tomorrow it is thigh, next day it is something else.”

The U.S. may squeak by thanks to the Ghanian witch doctor forgetting about Dempsey and the U.S.

    • First off, I'm not a big fan of these hypotheticals.  Second, I'm often skeptical of what people say in that type of forum. Far too many saying things because shock value equals attention.  Third, a football team is - at minimum - 50+ players plus coaches and all the support staff on and off the field.  I personally don’t like this notion as much but the quarterback is usually the face of the franchise, the leader. You give up your body and soul for everyone around you to where individual achievements are secondary if it means you leave the field as the ultimate winner along with everyone else. To this day, I still remember Thomas Davis utterly broken after losing the SB and the man played with a busted arm. You're telling me an MVP award isn't worth giving up if it meant he could've cried tears of joy instead? To give all those kids that special moment in their lives watching a victory parade? To put that cherry on the top for every fan here on that 2015 season instead of us still wondering if we'll ever see the Panthers lifting the Lombardi within our lifetimes? I don't know, man. Maybe it's just how I view leadership as being so much more about those around you than yourself.
