But, like with Merkel, the good far outweighs the bad. Who gives a F if someone does something for their ego? It's not hurting anybody. If every sports man came out with egotistical adverts and whatnot, and gave the money to good causes I'd be all for it.
It seems like people dwell far too much on the, irrelevant, negative stuff rather than focus on the meaningful positive.
I'm not arguing that, I'm just commenting on what's wrong. You did that too in your sentence, you said "egotistical adverts". That's all I'm saying and apart from it, of course the good far outweighs the bad. There's not even anything bad about it actually.

To sum up, 'The Decision'=wrong, donating money=right. The right part does not make the wrong part any less wrong.
Of course, this works the opposite way too. Donating money=right, making it public="wrong" and the latter does not make the former any less right.
