sprtmen deserving knighthoods
In my opinion, sportsmen/women shouldn't get a knighthood for jsut winning a gold medal.
Now, if they did something like izzard and raised over £1m or persistently raised money for and did well in the london marathon, or something similar in their own discipline then perhaps. Or if they had a terrible accident and doctors said they'd never walk agin, then they go on to win a gold, then perhaps.
Gold medals should be treated with respect and honoured but i don't think that they are in the same league as charity workers and true heroes.
Discuss.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Since I dont agree with with the Honours List I dont think anyone deserves to be elevated above anyone else.I wouldnt defer to anyone who was given a Knighthood for scoring a goal neither would I be particularly delighted for anyone being 'honoured' for doing their job.Its outdated and TBH I think lesser of any individual Sportsperson in particular even accepting it.
