Folks, seriously, come on now, how many times do we have to go through this?
For the last time, there is no morality in football, so stop looking for it.
In football only one thing counts, money.
That is it.
The whole thing is a cesspit of greed, avarice and corruption where everyone is focused wholly and solely on trousering as much cash as they possibly can while they can.

I assume companies like this spend absolute fortunes on market research etc to justify the massive sponsorship deals so clearly they must work but I've never understood them myself.
The sight of David Beckham posing next to a few Maserati's doesn't make me want a Maserati more or less.
Watching the Liverpool football team shave their beards with Gillette doesn't make me want to purchase Gillette products any more or less.
Watching Man Utd train in jackets with Apollo Tyres on the back doesn't make me want to buy Apollo Tyres any more or less.
As I say far cleverer people than myself must have cottoned on that these kind of massive sponsorship deals bring in revenue otherwise why would companies waste their money, I've just never understood myself why someone like David Beckham wearing a watch or standing next to a car suddenly makes thousands of people who wouldn't buy that product suddenly go out and decide to buy that product.5 -

Can we "lol" this? Not because it's funny, or wrong, but simply because come Judgement Day it will give Ormiston some "fun" tracking us all down and sticking red hot pokers up our arses!Ormiston_Addick said:Folks, seriously, come on now, how many times do we have to go through this?

I wouldn't have minded a couple of LOLs for my Adkins prognosis but 57 was taking the piss!1 -
Any stand football makes on social issues is soon forgotten once money is involved.0

When Ronaldo moved those Coke bottles out of his way at a Euro's press conference, their share price dropped by $4 billion overnight.0 -
Imagine giving a f*** about what a private individual, who happens to be an ex footballer, is legally earning and from where.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that
Nearly as bad as giving a f*** about how many likes and lols you receive on Charlton Life1 -

How 'relevant' is Beckham nowadays ?0

He is pretty much still an instantly recognisable 'face' and that's all the PR people care about.Lincsaddick said:How 'relevant' is Beckham nowadays ?
Relevance is a relative term of course!0 -

Obviously not in current football terms like a Messi or Ronaldo, but i'd say he transcends football. He's probably one of the most recognisable and famous blokes on the planet.Lincsaddick said:How 'relevant' is Beckham nowadays ?2 -
Former England international David Beckham has been urged to raise awareness about the human rights issues in Qatar by Amnesty International.
And Amnesty’s Sacha Deshmukh hopes figures like Beckham can speak out about the problems the country clearly face.
He told BBC Sport: “Qatar’s human rights record is troubling, from the country’s long-standing mistreatment of migrant workers, to its curbs on free speech and the criminalisation of same-sex relations.
(From the Independent)2 -
Good luck to him.All the footy teams and big companies will also go to qatar, the fans will watch… so hes no worse then anyone else.4
