What's the story

Mastercard's 'Food for Goals' campaign has turned into one of the biggest PR disasters of recent times. The company has pledged to donate 10,000 meals to starving children every time Messi and Neymar score a goal. The campaign was termed disgusting by people as they felt associating food for poor with an outcome of a sporting event morally wrong.
