'The burying of your head in the sand from you, your team and your advisers is repellent and cowardice personified'
Will Young penned a fierce open letter to David Beckham over his controversial £10million deal to act as an ambassador for the World Cup in Qatar.
"Qatar is of course not the only country in the world with appalling records on human rights. The argument that sport is not political is duplicitous and two faced. Look at South Africa during apartheid, look at Russia now. Who decides the yays and the nays?," he began. He continued that David's decision to take the "alleged £150 million over 15 years is greedy enough" and "the burying of your head in the sand from you, your team and your advisers is repellent and cowardice personified".
His post has received thousands of likes, with Joe Lycett also sharing his support. David has been criticised by Joe, who fake 'shredded' £10,000 after telling the footballer to pull out of his mega-money sponsorship deal with Qatar.
