Yes, and you would do the same if you were in his shoes.

I mean if you were uneducated and spent most of the formative years of your life with a bunch of other sweaty men in locker rooms then...maybe I guess.

Just because enough money would make you compromise your morals doesn't mean everyone is as weak willed as you are.

If I were in his shoes? Absolutely not. I’d already have more than enough to last my family generations. Would not be worth the compromise. If I were in my current shoes somehow getting this offer? Absolutely yes.

If I were in my current shoes I would deffintely take the money knowing I'm taking 150 million dollars to be an ambassador which is to them, essentially worthless. I'm pretty sure half the people I have sway over don't even know what or where Qatar is, or have any interest in soccer for that matter.

Promote slavery and hatred? There's not enough money in the world. I don't think I'm a particularly great person but that is a hard line for me

I’d go promote it for 150m. No one knows who I am anyways so it wouldn’t have much of an affect.

I would probably say yes in MY shoes, because I don't have millions of dollars in my shoes, in their shoes you should have the luxury to pass on a couple of million.

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.

I think he's rich enough that 150 millions is not worth it...
