No, it IS blackmail.
Do this or I will deprive charities of this money.
Dont get me wrong I too disapprove of the World cup being there, but as with the SA 'problems' in the late 80's should politics and sport be separate? I personally think so. So I guess disapprove but go and partake, but dont be seen to be enjoying ones self.

No, it isn't. Blackmail is demanding payment or another benefit from someone in return for not revealing compromising or damaging information about them.
So this is more like coercion: persuading someone to do something by using force or threats; the threat of shredding ten grand, in this case.
But ten grand is pin money to Beckham, there's no threat at all. Beckham gives loads to charity, Lycett's piddly £10K is his to do what he wants with.
So this is really just a PR stunt that Lycett is using to draw attention to Beckham taking the Qatari cash, in the hope that he'll back down.

Beckham reportedly got 10 million reasons from the Qatar authorities as a 'Brand Ambassador' so why should he consider walking away.
Shredding £10,000 in Bank of England notes will help the economy as they will no longer have to be redeemed eventually, unless the shredded pieces are presented to the B of E, where some poor clerk will have to reconstruct the notes as far as possible, to ascertain the value and credit the presenter in due course.
