At that moment, Malone seemed to suddenly realize that his watch was not revealed.

From the GIF, we can see Malone deliberately pulling up his sleeves on the narrow podium in an attempt to expose the watch. Although this action is a bit exaggerated, it can also understand his difficulty as a spokesperson. After all, in business cooperation, it is often the duty of the spokesperson to display the product. However, the big head standing behind him may be confused by this and not know why.

However, there are also netizens who have different views. They believe that it is his duty to show the product on the podium as the face of Omega watches. Moreover, this does not mean that he does not respect domestic brands, but only part of the business cooperation. In addition, they also believe that public figures should have a certain degree of freedom in their words and actions, and should not be blamed too much for a small action.

So, is this move by Malone appropriate? This is indeed a question worth pondering. As an athlete, Ma Long's performance on the field is undoubtedly admirable. But as a public figure and brand spokesperson, his words and deeds have also received more attention and scrutiny.
