I’m defending Freddy here. I don’t think it’s anything to do with him, but I can also see why corporations could definitely see an opportunity for PR attention to assist him on his journey.
Freddy would be absolutely insane to say no to anything he’s been offered so far. He’s getting to live out his dream of touring another country to watch his team in the World Cup. This will never happen again for him, and not every foreign fan is getting the same treatment as he is. Plus he chose American Airlines over a f-ing private jet company to go to Buffalo today.
It’s just a string of luck. It happens. There’s no reason why I can’t be happy for the guy just because it’s not happening to me.
This is a country where you can get instant fame off of a 5 second clip saying some dumb shit and become a millionaire. At least with Freddy, it’s the same idea but for something good by making a fan’s experience memorable. It’s more refreshing to see.
