This makes me sick. In the closing ceremony, David beckam will be involved with the handover from Beijing officials to the British.
Like, whats he got to do with the olympics?
F%$£ck all! He’s never competed at an olympics in his life. Some newspapers have suggested he’s odds on fave to light the olympic flame in London 2012. He’s not even England’s best football player, let alone the worlds. And even if he was, he’d still not have the right to light the flame. That honor should go to Steve Redgrave who has won 5 golds from 5 seperate olympics. For David Beckam to be even involved in the handover is a disgrace and an insult to olympic athletes.
Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this. If he lights the flame in London, I will puke in to a bag, and send it to the british olympic comitte.
They are going for style over substance. They might as well let Elton John light the flame.
Hell, they should let Charlie Francis light the flame. That would be worth watching, and good compensation.
The Uk have already announced they won’t be competing with China in terms of the money that was spent (… probably spent it all on getting Beckham for this stunt)
Well he has tried to follow in Lord Coe’s footsteps but Victoria got pissed when he tried to get some on the side also. (Wait for the sequal- bend it like Clinton!)
