Typecasts and
Perception
Reputation is a powerful thing. Once a person becomes
associated with certain character traits or attributes in a public platform, it
becomes an innate factor in how they are judged by the world.
This is a way of saying that Ronaldo and diving will be
forever linked in the domain of football media regardless of reality.
Confirmation bias develops – as a result of what was (perhaps) at a time a true
characterization of the player – and influences the way we interpret certain moments.
