David Beckham Is Really Desperate For That Knighthood [Trailer]

For years, it's been an open secret that David Beckham, OBE (Order of the British Empire), would love to be Sir David Beckham.

Reports suggest Beckham was offered the chance to use a special access queue, but declined… opting instead to wait for 13 hours with the rest of the hoi polloi. Naturally, the public flocked to sing his praises; the old “national treasure” epithet has been slung around with abandon…

Maybe he should have taken up cricket instead – Sir Andrew Strauss, Sir Alastair Cook, Sir Ian Botham. More recently, Beckham has come under scrutiny for his role as an ambassador for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. You know, the country where thousands of migrant workers have died over the past decade and where the rights of women and gay people are restricted.

Some outlets have reported he pocketed more than £10 million to act as an ambassador for the tournament.
