Argentinian footballer Leo Messi has become the face of a luxury clothing brand from Saudi Arabia. The partnership between the Argentinian and Saudi Arabia provoked many criticisms from football fans, as well as human rights organizations.
"He had no problem wearing a Qatari robe, now a Saudi compulsion, with an orange beard, the main thing is that the money comes in," they wrote on social media. Many condemned Messi, an athlete who is known to earn hundreds of millions of euros a year from salary and sponsorships.
