British Comic Joe Lycett Threatens to Shred More Than $10,000 If David Beckham Doesn’t Cancel Lucrative Qatar Deal Before Soccer World Cup
Lycett challenged Beckham to end his relationship with Qatar, and said he would donate the £10,000 to charities that support queer people in soccer. However, if he didn’t, he said at midday U.K. time on Sunday, Nov 20, just before the World Cup opening ceremony, he would throw the money into a shredder and stream it live on his website benderslikebeckham.com.Destroying legal tender is, of course, illegal in the U.K., a fact Lycett acknowledged.
“You’ll be forcing me to commit a crime,” he said. “But even then I reckon I’ll get off more lightly than I would if I got caught wanking off a lad in Doha.”
