I have no issue with people being famous for being good at something and Beckham is an excellent example, I gather he is probably the best footballer in his class (sorry never been into football). However, does he, on a day to day basis, put more into our society than a doctor or a surgeon. Personally I think not but our society seems to think he does based on what our society is prepared to accept as his renumeration package.
(PS nothing against Beckham or anyone else, just using them to illustrate a personal frustration with our society)
