Daughter has to wait - video captures Neymar playing online poker during children's party
The name Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior certainly needs no introduction in any community. However, the 32-year-old footballer is also known for his other hobbies, including poker. He has proven that he is an avid poker player in the past by working with PokerStars, where he was even an ambassador, and by his appearances in live tournaments. He even has 8 ITM placements totaling $32,131 on his hendonmob.
He proved that poker plays an important role in his life a few days ago when a video of his 6-month-old daughter's family party appeared on Twitter (X). While singing and clapping, Neymar couldn't resist wandering over to his phone for a second to discard the cards on the mobile poker app.

Fans on social media were outraged by the video
The video, which has gone around the world, has gone absolutely viral, reaching over 30 million views in just five days. But the video itself divided fans into several camps, in most cases triggering a wave of criticism and negative comments. Most people on the social network X expressed their disapproval of Neymar's behaviour at the family celebration with names like "gambler" or "addict".
Many condemned Neymar for this behaviour, expressed regret for his behaviour or urged him to seek help. The world's tabloid media also weighed in, attributing Neymar's gambling problems directly to him. However, progressive enthusiasts are applauding him for this publicity, comparing his dedication to the game to Patrick Leonard and his motto #Nevermisssunday.
