The habit gets a new name.
SteveWillDoIt’s gift was a clever marketing move, but FIFA’s rules are clear: no expensive gifts for players. The Mexican team’s decision to return the watches shows that even the allure of luxury can’t compete with the rules of the game. And SteveWillDoIt? He got his 5 minutes of fame and a potential FIFA investigation. The real winner here is the Rolex brand, which got a nice publicity boost.
