Putin does pretend to be lots of other things:

And he reportedly stole a superbowl ring in 2005:

- corresation 13y agoThe Superbowl ring thing was quite clearly a misunderstanding: It is exceedingly odd to present jewelry to someone in such a context just for them to look at (especially to the president of Russia for a national football league in the US, as if he would be awestruck). Yet presenting jewelry to heads of state (which aren't personally kept, generally, but instead are showcased in national archives), is common. So Kraft was really silly to present the ring like that, and you can't hold that against Putin.
- MartinCron 13y agoThe Super Bowl ring story falls nicely in the category of a story that's far too good to bother to fact check.
- sharkweek 13y agoIt really got... cinematic. The whole tie-in with Aaron Hernandez (the NFL player recently arrested for murder) being some major revenge conspiracy was just too good. I chose to just believe it all for shits and giggles
