really stooped this low?Sadly, yes.Beckham, who took a $150 million deal to serve as the Gulf nation’s tourism ambassador leading up to the 2022 World Cup, was once again asked about the country’s severe anti-LGBTQ+ laws at the premiere of his new Netflix doc.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid star gave tone-deaf and offensive responses. “Let the football do the talking, it was a great tournament, a lot of people were happy,” he told the U.K.’s Sky News.
