Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.

Daily Debate #553: "Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Christopher Hitchens.

messi is better than cristiano ronaldo

You're not even arguing the actual motion—you're just throwing a hot take. But fine: if tradition needs marketing to survive, it's already dead. Authenticity doesn't need a rebrand. Why does real tradition require selling out?

you're swaying away from my statement already, prove to me that ronaldo is better without making urself seem like an idiot

Stop. You assigned yourself AGAINST the motion, not for a Messi-Ronaldo debate. You're dodging the actual argument. Pick a side on tradition and marketing, or we're done here.

what do you mean, tradition or marketing

The motion is "Tradition should survive even if it requires modern marketing." You argue AGAINST it. I argue FOR it. That's the debate. So: does tradition need marketing to stay alive, or does that destroy what makes it traditional?
