Better than being a pea-brained Big Brother watcher?

Becks is alright. He contributed a lot to get GB the Olympics and then that thick shiiithouse Pearce couldn't find a place in the squad for him.

_______________________

What did he really contribute? Was it done so he could play in the Games? Should he have been picked even though he wasn't good enough? Perhaps other people that 'contributed' to helping London get the OG's could also have been picked?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The most famous living Englishman? Genuinely liked around the world? About as high profile as you can get and wanted to play or be a part of the GB squad?

We were shiitt anyway. I thought it was an unnecessary snub.

Or we could have had Mr Bean and Paul MctwattingCartney.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So he should have been picked because he'd top a popularity contest?

Should we have done that with other sports?

Perhaps we could have coaxed Eddie the Eagle Edwards out of semi retirement had had him take part in one of the events?

Maybe the Queen could have done more than just the opening ceremony?

The guy didn't warrant a place in the squad. His fame has long overtaken his football abilities. Probably the only thing bigger than his fame is his ego.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole thing was a vanity project from the start. You actually think your terrible examples have any relevance at all?

People all around the world know Eddie the Eagle? No, just tabloid readers in Essex.

Sort your self mate You're just jealous of Sir Becks

Of course he should have been picked for his handshaking efforts alone. Ffs Craig Bellamy went,it was a dirty move by Pearce who clearly had an agenda.

Beckham wants a knighthood. There's nothing wrong with that at all.

He's done good things like give money to kids in order to help him get what he wants. That doesn't make the good things he's done less good. The kids don't care they only got Beckham money because Becks wants something in return, they get the money they need. In fact they'll want him to be rewarded in the way he hopes for so that more wealthy people will donate in order to get the rewards that they want.

I don't see any reason for denying him a knighthood at this point. It's not a secret that they've always been for sale really.

Then I'd rather do away with knighthoods altogether.

Hell, why not reinstate Sepp Blatter as head of FIFA if bribery is ok?

It's not about bribery, it's about we as people not having our heads in the sand. People have bought knighthoods since knighthoods were a thing.

If it means something to David, let him give some millions to the have nots and get one.

But let's not pretend shall we. A knighthood is, in terms of the real world, meaningless. We can pretend they're not, but they are.

BUT

If Brits like Beckham are willing to donate to the benefit of people who have little to get one, then they are actually of more meaning and worth in the real world than they ever have been before.

Doesn't make it acceptable. Human beings have murdered and raped people since the dawn of time but that doe not legitimise it.
