It was only a matter of time (like 24 hours) until the bottom fell out of Ronaldo’s escapade that involved three transvestites. Today we learned the details of the pick-up artist at work, and now we’ve got word Ronaldo’s girlfriend (with no balls), Maria Beatriz Antony, has dumped the two-time World Cup champion.

According to Brazilian paper “Extra”, Maria Beatriz Antony, who lived with Ronaldo up to a few days ago, returned to her parents in Brasilia. Friends told the paper that she repeatedly complained about Ronaldo’s type of nightlife in Brazil since the player’s return because of an injured knee. So his latest escapade may only be the final straw that tipped the balance against him.

So this isn’t the first time he’s done this? His stupidity may be retroactive to the 2006 World Cup, where allegations sprung up about Ronald and the rest of the Brazilian team partying until the wee hours before matches. They have transvestites and cannibals in Germany, ya know. What’s more detrimental to his life are those sponsors who may rescind his valuable contracts.

“Extra” claims that Nike is considering unilateral termination of his contract and a request for damages as provided in a clause. “We are still collecting information, there is nothing official yet” is what spokesperson David Grinberg said on behalf of Nike’s brazil office. The contract that ties Ronaldo to Nike is lifelong and is worth in excess of 100 million dollars.

Talk about shooting yourself in the ass, foot, stomach, brain etc. So is Nike going to digitally remove him from all of those “Joga Bonito” ads? They can always add AC Milan’s Pato. He’s all young and innocent. Maybe.
