    Sport has been a passion for my whole life, but I fail to see why a man who has spent his life playing a game for personal pleasure and wealth is in any way deserving of a knighthood.

    Sorry to be party pooper

    I agree with the last two posts and cant see the connection between highly paid sportsmen  who after all do it purely for themselves and the honours list.  Like most things its lost its way and needs scrapping.

    They are highly paid for doing the hobby that they enjoy.

    Can't see why they deserve something extra for that.
