Reply to comment by omally_360 in David Beckham claims Qatar World Cup a platform for inclusivity and tolerance by loldonkimo

Folks. Come on. Go easy on the guy.

All they’re saying is that if they were offered the money, they’d do the same.

Yes, that’s all I am saying, although I probably said it in a rather cross way. Do I support A World Cup in Qatar? Absolutely a million times NO.

But for 150 million I could probably say, which may or may not be true (hopefully the former), that hosting there perhaps will progress the country at least a little bit.

That is the hope anyway. That this World Cup opens the regimes eyes.

I just think it’s unlikely that the majority of average reddit user would just turn down that kind of money for basicslly minimum work.

But good for them, I have to add.
