Joe Lycett, the Brit comic and TV presenter (and panelist on seemingly every comedy panel show), says that if David Beckham changes his mind and turns down the $11.7M the country of Qatar is offering him to be goodwill ambassador at the upcoming FIFA World Cup by the opening ceremonies Sunday, he will make a 10,000 GBP donation to UK gay charities (although the long list of human rights abuses by Qatar goes beyond LGBTQs). If not, Lycett will destroy the 10,000 pounds sterling on a livestream Sunday--and yes, public destroying of money is illegal:
