      Yes, especially the fans’ hands on Messi’s shoulder, quite nice

        That would really piss me off, people constantly trying to touch me like that.

        It’s so weird how strong the para-social effect is; it’s almost like they think they own him in some way. Ugh. Can totally see how he needs a bodyguard for shit like that.

      Yeah cool but a single edited video is not enough to prove that.

        You’re right but also, this edit shows that at least a number of times he doesn’t hurt them. At the very least we know that he does some thinking on how to handle certain situations, especially because a couple of these I 100 percent expected him to tackle people to the ground and instead he just holds them away. Pleasantly surprised.

            Yep and I think one of the ones in the video was another player maybe? Would be bad if he roughed up another million dollar player too.

            I love that Messi trusts the bodyguard so much that he doesn’t even flinch at stuff, he knows his boy has him covered.

      I need a boundary setter to walk around with me and set good boundaries with the people I interact with.
