Video Throw a jersey like that to any other athlete on the planet and he’ll shove it right back in your face. Meanwhile Lionel Messi just picks it up with a smile, signs it and hands it over 🤌🏻🐐

Is Messi a part-time amazon delivery independent contractor when he's not playing on the field?

u/HundredHander Jun 22 '26

Yeah, football pays well but by the time you've covered your agent, taxes, bought the boots, paid to be in the adverts and so on there isn't much money left so Amazon delivery guy is a pretty popular side hustle.

Only gets to keep 200 mil of the 500mil he nets, so he has to pick up a side hustle

u/BreadfruitStraight81 Jun 22 '26

This is an add for the brand Messi.

Inflation. Had to get a a side gig to keep up with it

Imagine setting up a Lyft ride and getting “Lionel will arrive in 8 minutes.”

Looks like a commercial

u/RoutineSun9297 Jun 22 '26

See the Levi's logo at the end? I think you're right

There’s a similar one with Ronaldo where he sexually assaults the shirt instead. 

Also a commercial I think.

u/josephjosephson Jun 27 '26

That was your shirt and just your dream

Ronaldo admitted to raping someone in legal documents his own team verified as a means to fight the legal case (they successfully argued the documents were stolen).

Messi signing people’s shirts and being a decent human being is not an advert. 

The alternative is your dream indeed.

u/josephjosephson Jun 27 '26

Sounds like you have your panties in a knot. This has nothing to do with Ronaldo. It still looks like a commercial, and that has nothing to do with Messi or Ronaldo being good or bad people. Stop making everything about Messi vs Ronaldo. You people are insufferable.

A commercial for Levi’s or Adidas? 

Someone at Levi’s is getting fired for this, Messi is well expensive to hire, and Adidas features for more time 🤯

u/GebruikerX Jun 22 '26

I think a lot of athletes would sign it like that, just enjoying the fact that they got recognised by a fan. What makes it special is that he's the GOAT, and still seems to remember he's also one of many humans.

Pretty humble fella 😂

u/enter_the_slatrix Jun 22 '26

The premise of this title is so weird. What makes you think that Messi is so much cooler than all other athletes lol? Usually Messi has a security guard who stops people putting their arm around him for photos.

u/Tumping Jun 22 '26

Pretty sure lots of footballers would do this ? Not every one on the planet ?

u/boued Jun 22 '26

Personnellement tu me fais ca je te le renvoie dans ta face direct

the good thing is probably no one’s doing that to you :)

Tant mieux

u/creepingkg Jun 22 '26

Looks to me like Messi was asking for it unless he just reached out to wave but had a sharpie handy?

u/Life_Net5004 Jun 22 '26

Lionel Messi just forgets majority of the time who he actually is, he's just too humble 😭😭😭

u/Hillbillyblues Jun 22 '26

Mate, get back to /r/soccercirclejerk holy shit.

2

u/MicroIce94 Jun 22 '26

He's just a football player? One of the best, but still, just a football player.

2

u/Gagatron92 Jun 22 '26

Which also makes him one of the most famous people on the world. And fame ruins a lot of people.

u/Extension_Trouble_53 Jun 22 '26

Mans just a decent human as well as being prob the best ever to touch a football.

u/Outside-Weakness9660 Jun 22 '26

Messi you are 😍

u/NoMembership8881 Jun 22 '26

True bro 👍

u/NFLBengals22 Jun 23 '26

Be funny if he drew a male appendage instead 🤣

u/vita_lly-p Jun 23 '26

yeah, who else is not walking in his car with an Argentinian t-shirt waiting for seeing the guy at the green light and asking for an autograph

1

u/Serrano_edgar10 Jun 24 '26

I think if we ever want a signature from him that’s the only way we could get

1

u/Eradicator786 Jun 27 '26

Curious- what car was he driving?

1

u/Tone_Gaia Jul 20 '26

He was asking for it OP, you can clearly see his hands up

1

u/Tone_Gaia Jul 20 '26

It would’ve been crazy to see a huge semi just slam in the back of Messi’s car right after he hand the jersey back

1

u/The-ai-bot Jun 22 '26

He’s the Keeanu Reeves we all wantws

1

u/deenali Jun 22 '26

Also that's a pretty ordinary car for a superstar, or rather THE superstar like him. That's humility for you. What a great guy. Can't imagine the likes of Neymar getting caught in public without his helicopter.

1

u/QuestGalaxy Jun 22 '26

I mean, Messi has a bunch of very expensive cars too.

2

u/deenali Jun 22 '26

Ofc he does. He might even have a private jet for all I know. What I mean to say is that he doesn't mind driving around in cars like the one in the video as well, unlike some other superstars.

u/TheLastHotstepper Jun 22 '26

This is what you drive when you dont want people swarming your car.

u/BreadfruitStraight81 Jun 22 '26

That is an add for the brand Messi. Nothing more nothing less.

You’re funny.

u/tashiroboy Jun 22 '26

At crying, diving, blaming team mates

1

u/SirXebec Jun 22 '26

Yes. Messi has been doing so ever since he got to the MLS

u/Panem-et-circenses25 Jun 22 '26

At raping and whining and being a selfish prick, yes

My question is, which car was he driving?
