Al-Marsad newspaper: The head of the Entertainment Authority, Counselor Turki Al-Sheikh, responded to the question of the Egyptian journalist Amr Adeeb regarding the purchase of foreign players and artists.
Players and artists
Adeeb said on the “Al-Hekaya” program broadcast on MBC Egypt: People say that you buy a football player, artists, and media figures, and you buy everything?
Al-Sheikh responded: Regarding football, it is best for Prince Abdulaziz, Minister of Sports, to explain this issue, noting that all leagues in the world are keen to have the highest level of quality of life for their citizens and attract tourism.
China and America
He added: We did not hear these voices with China, America, or the English Premier League, which was weak in the nineties before Gulf investors and others entered and became strong.
Cristiano and Benzema
He wondered: Why do we hear these voices in the Kingdom? Pointing out that the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Neymar and Sadio Mane in one league is a source of pride for the Saudi and Arab citizen and raises the quality of life. They convey the correct image of the Kingdom and defend it, and in order for them to come to you, they must be compensated with a certain characteristic, and this is why the idea of football is useful.
Buy artists
Regarding buying artists, Al-Sheikh said: Who are the artists that we bought, and during 4 years, what did we benefit from other than content and making visitors happy?
You will come running
Al-Sheikh expressed his objection to the word “purchase,” saying: Do not cheapen people and make them feel that they are a commodity to be bought and sold, and do not increase the culture that a person accepts because money is an important part of the equation, and if you are offered a quarter of this money, you will run, but you are not offered.
