Original Note:
This is incorrect. Gary Lineker covered the Qatar World Cup for the BBC. He was paid by the BBC for this, not the Qatari state. During his coverage, he offered strong criticism of the Qatari state. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapack/world-cup-2022/ https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/gary-lineker-qatar-world-cup-b2229149.html https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/gary-lineker-qatar-bbc-speech-b2234454.html
