If you were Beckham, would you take a job to promote Qatar for 150m?

Don't blame you mate. It's hard to defend an incorrect statement really.

They call themselves Arabs, not Qataris?

They can call themselves whatever they want. Qatar is a nation or at least a nation state if you're being pedantic.

 

[moyeslovechild]

Absolutely

I would give a little portion to pay for children hospital in deprived country

So if you're against me taking it you basically want to kill sick kids horrible barsteward

I still can't tell if this is a joke or what lol. I honestly don't know anybody from Qatar, it is Qatari but I don't know if that is just the politically correct verbiage...

You seem serious, but it seems too stupid to be lol

This is a pretty ignorant statement. Of course all money going to children hospitals is good money, but that was not how you proposed it.

You said deprived country just because it is an Arab country, it's one of the most developed nations in the world.

Wait, wasnt Beckham the face of England's failed bid to host this very World Cup finals?

I think you're overlooking 150m quid's worth if amnesia here.

Do you reckon there is a nation called Gibraltarians? on paper yeah, but historically nah.

 

[arminisgod]

Of course I would. But I don't like gays and own 2 slaves

 

[Yarrgh]

Joking apart, I can say no quite easily knowing I'd never be offered that. If I was in Beckham's position, I would like to think I'd say no. How much money can a person need and with Qatar's backwsrds approach and dismal record for human rights, would have to be a no.

 

[big nev lookalike]

He should take the money and give it to the families of the people who have died building the infrastructure for the World Cup.

I think key to this question, it’s saying if you were Beckham - who is already ludicrously wealthy and really does not need the money.

It’d be probably like the equivalent of someone on this forum being asked to do it for 2-5k for perspective

Oh no I didn't mean Qatar when I said deprived country so you misunderstood me there.

Although of course it is very grim for the Asian and African migrant underclass in these Arab countries and they are treated horribly as we know.

I probably would accept it on the condition I could help and stand up for them now that you mention it. Well just take the money and do it anyway.

Obvs, I'd promote Al Qaeda for £150m

Close thread.lollollol

Fair point, I did you dirty and kinda twisted your words.

My apologies.
