Ronald in Thailand offering namaste
If you’re a soccer player, what do you eat before a game?
A. Big Bowl of Pasta
B. Pack of Cigarettes
C. Trail Mix
D. McDonald’s Big Mac, Fries, Large Coca-Cola
E. Steamed Chicken Breast, Steamed Vegetables, Water
Thanks to The Football Association of Thailand, or FAT as they’re more hilariously known, the top senior and junior players in the country will be given copious amounts of option D, McDonald’s, as part of a new three-year, 545,000 pound sponsorship deal with the worldwide slop peddlers.
What better way to prepare for a game than free burgers!
Quoth FAT genius president Worawi Makudi: “This will be a great help towards our efforts to reach the 2014 World Cup finals. This funding will help develop our game, especially youth football, and all the players, junior and senior, will get to enjoy the food too.”
It might not help the players stay in good enough shape to reach the next World Cup, but it might well have them leading the pack in Type 2 Diabetes by 2014. I wonder what new coach Bryan Robson must think; just because Wayne Rooney eats junk food when he’s not berating referees and buzzing around the pitch doesn’t mean it’ll work for a Thai team that could probably do without free fast food.
If that’s the Thai version of Ronald McDonald, they have somehow succeeded in making him even creepier than I already find Ronald McDonald.
To be fair, the Thai diet before playing a match isn’t that far off from my diet before watching them play.
It just says free food, and they do sell lean chicken, salads, and water.
What do they call a quarter pounder in Thailand?
A Royale with Dysentery?
Hey, if Usain Bolt can run like that with a pre-race meal of Chicken Nuggets…

Is the sponsorship in currency or weight gained?
