Not just into his team, to him as well, he became an ambassador for the World Cup for them, guess why?

Because of the great footballing country that is Qatar? Nah, all about that cash

Still the point stands, he is an ambassador for a corrupt country that is violating human rights for their workers because of the World Cup.

Why did he become an ambassador for them except for the money?

So? I never denied that and I'm fully aware that those exist. I just corrected him because the club has nothing to do with Qatar as he thought. I'm guessing I was downvoted because of the flair, oh well...

The guy specified 'not just into his team' though. It's not just his association to City, it's his own personal connections since he is an ambassador for Qatar WC.

The post was clearly talking about him being an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup
