“This is a message to David Beckham.

I consider you, along with Kim Woodburn and Monty Don, to be a gay icon. You were the first premiership footballer to do shoots with gay magazines like Attitude, to speak openly about your gay fans, and you married a Spice Girl, which is the gayest thing a human being can do. But now it’s 2022 and you’ve signed a reported £10 million deal with Qatar, to be their ambassador during the FIFA world cup. Qatar was voted (as) one of the worst places in the world to be gay. Homosexuality is illegal, punishable by imprisonment and if your Muslim, possibly even death. You’ve always talked about the power of football as a force for good which suggests to me that you’ve never seen West Brom. But generally I agree - so with that in mind I’m giving you a choice: If you end your relationship with Qatar I’ll donate these ten grand of my own money - that’s a grand for every million you’re reportedly getting - to charities who support queer people in football. However, if you do not at midday next Sunday I will throw this money into a shredder, just before the opening ceremony of the world cup, and stream it live on a website I’ve registered called benderslikebeckham.com. Not just the money but also your status as a gay icon will be shredded. You’ll be forcing me to commit a crime - although even then I reckon I’ll get off more lightly than I would if I got caught wanking off a lad in Doha. The choice is yours! I look forward to hearing from you.”
