Well he is bad at it in the sense that he doesn't give a shit what people in England think because there's not where he can find money... unlike the Joe bloke who has to play you guys - and obviously getting away with it. Of course he was working for Qatari money. The show was in Qatar, a...

Of course it wouldn't invalidate his criticism. That David Beckham is a greedy **** is beyond clear and there's no need to argue about it, hence not mentioning it. Perhaps I'm amoral, don't think it is any worse than being moral only when it fits your own needs. Fact is that both of these have...

If this was Boris Johnson going down to Qatar and making a shit load of money participating in some freakshow or something and then criticising David Beckham for doing the same thing, people would have an entirely different view than that this hypocrisy, which is really maximum level of...

Agree. Good on him that he can go to Qatar and do shows, keep the money and be completely immune to criticism, with people doing their utmost to find angles that makes it ok for him to go and do shows ("it happened to be in Qatar", "getting money from some British promoter getting money from...

David Beckham was a global superstar like 20 years ago... I don't think there is a single soul under the age of 20 who gives a shit about David Beckham. And he probably knows it and agreed this deal knowing that he's rapidly wandering into obscurity.

Pick one... I think if he'd taken this identical battle but with someone who has actual power and influence (say, the English FA or English govt. that deals a great lot with Qatar) rather than some clueless object of a man (former celeb David Beckham), I'd certainly feel it was more valuable...

I understand how you think but it doesn't make you any less stupid. Sure, he can burn his money if he wants but David Beckham is probably not physically controlling this man, forcing him to burn 10k in some kind of pointless honorable ceremony to support the three gay people who felt Qatar...

Nope its a massive success. They don't want us to like them, they want us to see them as a powerful entity, normalising their presence and influence on the world stage.

The zero cost of it also makes it easier to ignore than if you block a road protesting environmental destruction or your club getting f***ed over by some greedy ****s selling it to property developers. Its the perfect modern-day protest: 1. generates 15 minutes of fame for this bloke 2...

Good publicity stunt, bloke will earn back those £10k in no time. Of course he is 100% aware that David Beckham does not give a shit.
