    I don’t even mean it as banter, but Marcus Rashford excels at Philanthropy as much as he does Football. No devil’s advocate about it.

    I’d listen to Peter Cech’s opinion on hockey and drumming. You can be knowledgeable in more than one field.

      You can be knowledgeable in more than one field

      You can, but you need to prove it by showing your know knowledge in said field. In that case, you listen to someone talking about hockey that happens to be a successful footballer, not because he’s a successful footballer

      I don’t know Cech outside of football, but I’m assuming the reason you and others (in particular, hockey people and drummers) listen to him on those topics and found it to make sense. Yes, without him being a successful footballer you’d never heard about him, but he still needed to prove himself on that

      Then you also have the obvious that having certain issues in some issues raises your commercial value to a degree that hockey and drumming don’t

          There you have it, you listen to him on those topics because of that. His famous because of his football merits but his opinions on those topics matter because of what you pointed out

      I’d argue there’s no devil’s advocate about celebs actually putting money towards good causes, compared to people just saying words to please the currently politically approved positon.
