and several sports people have been honoured
Why? In the first place, neither car racing nor football are sports. They are games according to Ted Moult. If a participant of a game happens to support a "good work" sufficiently to merit a gong (preferably by physically working for a charity), well and good but the award should be for his work of support. It's irrelevant that the citation includes the fact that he also happens to play a game such as cricket or netball (to be gender non-specific). I would expand this philosophy to include the arts, especially performing arts.
I would add that a lollipop lady outside a school may be more deserving of a gong after disciplining 50 years of brats than any TV presenter or similar!

I think it would be nice that WHL admits he was wrong about Hamilton and checks his facts first
You need to get a life sunshine, you obviously got nothing else going on to spend your time worrying about a multi millionaire and his award, my last word on awards, wasn't Jimmy Saville given a knighthood?
Nothing to do about getting a life,I just don't like people slagging somebody off when they don't know the facts,yes that animal Saville was given one I think but that's not the issue here,oh and by the way my partner is very ill with cancer again so have plenty going on in my life
I love Andy Murray and loved what he’s done for British tennis, but I disagree with him being knighted…. Like I do about ANY sportsperson, armed forces general, high-up civil servant, politician etc.
Honours should be for efforts way over and above normal work, for the good of charity or society…. And don’t get me started on actors….
