Mbappé refused to undertake marketing operations linked to sponsors of the Blues
"On the Mbappé side, we believe that certain brands pose ethical and moral problems and we wonder about the redistribution of income generated by the Blues."
The first time I see this brought up. How do the FAs in Europe use the money generated by NTs and how much actually goes down the pyramid?
That's why I like Mbappe, he's smart and he sees the big picture. People here were surprised by his reaction initially but most sided with him because it makes sense. He doesn't want to do commercial stuff for sponsors of the French team that he turned down as a personal entity for ethical reasons. Most importantly, he wants clarity on how the money generated by the national team is used, he wants a bigger part to go to suburban, countryside and isolated areas to help them grow. He's not doing it for himself since so far he's given all his earnings from the national team to charity. I think he realizes too much of that money is lining up some people pocket instead of being used the way he thinks it should be and he's trying to call it out.
