David Beckham to get knighted. Sword not included
British soccer star David Beckham is reportedly set to become “Sir David Beckham.” Beckham, who already is the proud owner of an Order of the British Empire, faces a prestigious knighthood in honor of his services to soccer and his community work:
An insider tells British newspaper Daily Star, “The Beckhams are already showbiz royalty and now they look set to move a step closer to the real thing. It is widely believed Tony Blair will put David forward for a knighthood in the New Year list. He was a fantastic skipper and player for England and there’s every chance he’ll be back. He’s also done a tremendous amount for children and the community.”
Great Britain may think they’re cool because they have knights, but do they have slip’n’slides and 24-hour restaurants that serve both chicken and waffles? I didn’t think so. And I can almost guarantee you they don’t have barber shops with witty names like “Cut above the Rest” and “Shear Pleasure.” Being knighted isn’t even that cool anymore after that Carrot Top debacle. That’s SIR Carrot Top to you, thank you very much.
Maybe they’ll ‘nick’ his ear, causing him to bleed profusely!
I’m always surprised by footballers and such like being called hero’s and getting treated like this. What about all our war ‘hero’ (I’m anti iraq war so I use the term loosely) fighting in Afganistan and Iraq? They’re more hero’s than any of these people.
