So out of curiosity I just did some research. According to Statista in June of last year, one Gram of Coke cost you 62 USD in the Netherlands. Bro smuggled 1.3 MILLION Grams of Coke. That equals out to 80.6 MILLION US Dollars. Quincy definitely watched to much Narcos lol
To add to this, only last week Wesley Sneijder spoke out support for Promes. Yes, the Champions League winner. Also Memphis Depay has been very public about still supporting him. Rolemodels.....
People in public life see their acquaintances as friends (because real friends are hard to come by and at least those work relations aren't just sucking up to you due to your money and fame). This makes them treat those acquaintances like you'd treat a friend - whom you trust not to do horrible things because you know them. However, they don't know them so they wind up endorsing criminals. Happens fairly regularly. Like with Danny Masterson.
athletes necessarily aren't "rolemodels" only a selective few but we shouldn't brand just any athlete's that its an action and process being known simply don't make you one you can still look up to people, famous or not just my opinion.
Mate there was a footballer called Mickey Thomas back in the 90s who was arrested, convicted and dd time for producing counterfeit money. You love history, there's a whole crazy world of football history you wouldn't believe.
His name is actually pronounced as Pro-mes(Pro mess). "Mes" is also the Dutch word for knife. And he was convicted of stabbing his cousin. So he definitely was pro-knife, so to speak.
I think FM24 don't have this feature, but would be funny to buy him as a dutch club and have to wait nine years to actually see him play for your club.
Funny story about his trial. His attorney said Promes would be willing to come to the Netherlands to be there for the trial, on the condition he wouldn't be arrested and could return to Russia after the trial. Obviously this was immediately declined.
"driving like a drug dealer" is a phrase because people who make their living commiting crimes are usually smart enough to make sure they don't have their whole lives collapse because they forgot to signal.
If one of your players was wanted for 8 years in jail why would you take him on a training camp to a country with an extradition treaty? Spartak Moscow and Promes deserve each other
i've seen a metric tonne of cocaine. it ain't as big as your elephant analogy suggests it is. density of mass determines volume. 5 metric tonnes of d-4 machining steel is 185cm by 50cm by 10cm approximately. 1.3 metric tonnes of cocaine is a couple of pallets about 1.4 metres tall.
It might be useful to add that Promes played at Spartak before and was very successful. He was considered almost a legend. Now it's much more controversial.
On top of this: Depay still stands up for him saying "I'm a real life brother." Also, Wesley Sneijder said in a talkshow that he would still visit him and that he doesn't look any different to him now as a person.
Zealandism is like if you took Zealand and all the best stuff that he has (I don't care about FM for context) and put it on steroids. Absolute gold channel
This story also reminds me of story of Randy Lainer (which also shows the aformentioned vast difference in criminal judement) a racing driver who funded his team by slinging weed. He was conviced to "conspiring to sell more than 1000 pounds of marihuana" and got life without parole.
Quincy Promes isn't a 16 yr old who inexplicably turns into a world class player 3 seconds later, no wonder Zealand isn't sure how to pronounce his name.
he is probably being forced because he has incurred large debts to the wrong people A series/film has even been made about how players who gamble, etc., especially in the Netherlands, get into trouble and have to do things that they do not want to do, but MUST do. Reality is not always beautiful, but it is true.
Hahaha had to stop the video when you pronounced his name. Not laughing about you, but never thought of the possibility of pronoucing it like Proms haha its Pro-mes with the E
Not condoning drug dealing but let's stop acting like pro-athletes just need to focus on pro-sports. We all live under capitalism here. I'm not going to denigrate someone for having multiple streams of income. If lawyers and doctors are allowed to have them then so should professionals in other fields. Athletes can do as they please so long as they aren't harming anyone or breaking the law really.
@@ronmastrio2798well duh elite athletes serve more clients than lawyers or doctors and there are fewer elite athletes compared to lawyers/doctors. If the average lawyer had millions of clients come to his office each week merely to watch him work then he too would be that wealthy. However they don't. That's business 101; supply and demand determine price, not our personal values.
According to FM Promes "Would prefer not to play in Netherlands." Makes sense.
Is that actually what it says? That would be very funny if that was an actual message
Yep if you go to his player profile, one of his long term plans is "would prefer not to play in Netherlands"
😂

lmao more like top boy
buying in bulk leads to significant savings lol
Minus cost of buying, paying everyone else involved off etc, the margin is probably a lot smaller.
Moral of the story: Don't play a +4 if it's Quincy Promes turn next
To add to this, only last week Wesley Sneijder spoke out support for Promes. Yes, the Champions League winner. Also Memphis Depay has been very public about still supporting him.
Rolemodels.....
Depay has always been a tool a lot of footballers do not deserve their careers and even if they do they should not be role models it’s insane
Well they have a combined IQ of 180 max so makes sense

Do not forget Hakim Ziyech, who probably has been his biggest public supporter the last couple of years
Zealand, go for a run. Just not a drug run please
Mate there was a footballer called Mickey Thomas back in the 90s who was arrested, convicted and dd time for producing counterfeit money. You love history, there's a whole crazy world of football history you wouldn't believe.
i remember reading something about that back then.
Sure there was a chant about that. Something about Micky Thomas fivers in your pocket, fivers in your pocket, sorry, long time ago
he also scored the winner in an fa cup tie between wrexham and arsenal. what a complicated legacy lol
If Ajax had won the Champions League that year, that would have been quite the party.
If would have been snowing 😜❄️

Whoever is RUNNING this channel is doing great job
Gold star

„but you already stabbed that person“😭😭
I died 😂 comic genius
zealand the consistency on this channel is almost unbelievable
For people who aren't quite grasping the amount. Imagine that Promes smuggled two full PALLETS of cocaine.
roughly estimated streetworth (1300kg x 1000 x 80€) are ≈ 104 million euros
Interesting to see what happens when his contract is up at Spartak. Another Edward Snowden?
Let's play "Who's who?":
He's a professional football player
He's a winger
He has a criminal history
He's been under Erik ten Hags management
Antony impersonating a footballer to steal a wage
Greenwood?
Rashford?
Ze, he was in the UAE as part of the Spartak Moscow team that had their training camp there
If one of your players was wanted for 8 years in jail why would you take him on a training camp to a country with an extradition treaty?
Spartak Moscow and Promes deserve each other

Damm Walter okay
That's quite accurate. Do you work in a machine shop or foundry? Perhaps logistics for a Cartel 😂
Z: "A metric ton"
Me: oh, so like... quite a bit then?
Z: "no, 1.3 *actual* metric tons!!"
Zealand, do you know of the easy solution the urologist gives at 3:54?
Just found out this channel existed. Zealand has been watching the void for sure haha

This is literally the RDCworld1 caught in 4K sketch.

Obviously the cousin was skimming off the top & Quincy needed to send a message
Describing a stabbing: "I feel that was with some zeal, with some zest..." It had to be, that was with some Zealand on the end of it.
Zealandism is their best series on RUclips change my mind
Forget the two Escobars, this guy literally IS the two Escobars.

FM 25 gonna be wild
Quincy Promes isn't a 16 yr old who inexplicably turns into a world class player 3 seconds later, no wonder Zealand isn't sure how to pronounce his name.
Zealand do a run, don't do drugs and keep away from knives!
A 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV weighs 1.3 metric tons or 2866 pounds. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
for me, he's still 10 times more likeable than Greenwood
Promes playing business simulator
Some could say he had a "Promes-ing" career.
I'll let myself out...
Criminal? Yes. Mastermind? Hardly.
Dude literally got arrested in Dubai an hour ago lmao
"not drugs.... that are expensive"
Z casually letting slip that his FM brain is the result of some serious doping, maybe? 😆😆😆😆😆
the actual true story that Cocaine Bear is based on is a lot more interesting than the movie tbh
People say weed is safe but cannabis killed my uncle. Metric ton fell on his head when he was helping load a trawler in Utrecht.
It's inconsequential in this case, but please get your dutch news from anywhere but the telegraaf next time.😂😭
Football Iconic did a very good video on this if anyone is interested in more details!
I think you'll like to talk about John Textor in a few days
I just want everyone to know Promes has a song with Lil Baby
3:50 That ad tho 👀
Parts of this video reminded me of John Oliver 😂
Did not touch bill of cap enough
You should take a look into Michael MacIndoe, who was scamming his team mates out of millions of dollars, while playing professionally.
I mean... even after taxes he was probably earning enough to buy a property every couple months.
He said regular elephant
Did someone count how many times he touched his hat
i love this story :D
Ok come on now - stabbing family is different, you've met family!?
Dutch? Played for Ajax? Ten Hag wants to sign him.
Cocaine Bear is amazing!
Drug smuggling, rapper who plays football part time😂
I built this shit. Me! Brick by brick
he is probably being forced because he has incurred large debts to the wrong people
A series/film has even been made about how players who gamble, etc., especially in the Netherlands, get into trouble and have to do things that they do not want to do, but MUST do.
Reality is not always beautiful, but it is true.
RUN
A legend in two games like PeeWee Kirkland. - Pusha T
Respect the hustle?
it's pronounced like Gomes/z
Prison fc boutta cook 🔥
Hahaha had to stop the video when you pronounced his name. Not laughing about you, but never thought of the possibility of pronoucing it like Proms haha its Pro-mes with the E
Oei oei oei
you dont really know how the world works. maybe you do but you are not being true in this video.
Old news tbh

Leave out the part where these athletes are making more in a week than doctors and lawyers make in a year.

They sign a professional services contract. There are restrictions on those.
first
That man ain't bright. He threw away his career for greed
His music kinda slaps tho
