Neymar under fire for his tribute to Stephen Hawking
Mar 15, 2018
Neymar has come under fire for his tribute to Stephen Hawking, in which he seemingly compared himself to the late scientist.
The Brazilian, who is recovering from a foot operation, tweeted a photo of himself smiling in a wheelchair, along with a quote from Hawking.
One commentator said it was extremely self-centred of Neymar to compare his temporary injury, to Hawking's life-long battle with motor neuron disease.
