L'honneur suprême allait forcément déclencher les mémoires des 25 dernières années

autour de la problématique Brain vs Brawn, 

déchaîner les passions autour de l'inacceptable décision Royale 

Beaucoup se souviennent des difficultés du jeune David, père de famille, alors au Real de Madrid, à faire les exercices de mathes de son bambin de 6 ans: il en oubliait même les verbes irréguliers de sa langue maternelle :

1. Just shows what a joke the honour system is….
2. For services to advertising especially self advertising.
3. I'll queue to see the Queen laying in State because I'm one of the people.
   When in reality, he could have chosen the VIP route, quietly paid his respects and not drawn attention to HIMSELF.
4. I have nothing against David Beckham and good luck to him in his personal success, but please, a knighthood?
5. Yes, because he needs your wishes of good luck at this point in his life..
6. After watching the Michelle Mone programme, its clear that publicity and a profile pays off. Whilst not being lord (yet) what actually constitutes a knighthood? The entire honours system is a joke and high time it was scrapped.
7. Please God no. He was happy to earn millions from the Qatari's off the backs of slave labour
8. The whole UK honours system has been devalued by the fact that highest honours are regularly purchased through political donations. Fair play to those get genuine awards for their services to society, but they're in dubious company.
9. To be fair Beckham has done more for Unicef and other charities than a lot of other 'sirs' combined. In 2013 he gifted his £3.5m salary to children's charities in Paris. How is that for services to society?
10. Why are these highly paid people for doing a job knighted and people doing amazing work for nothing overlooked time to finish this ridiculous circus
11. For services to Pepsi?
12. Knight hoods are now meanless.
13. Unsure what he’s contributed to 'British society'.
14. Just a farce
15. For being an average footballer, narcissist and boot licker
