[QUOTE 4619512, member: 45"]Possibly. I think there's a difference between a sportsperson achieving top of their game (there can only be one) and a celebrity doing something that others do in anonymity.[/QUOTE]
I used to think that too. But plenty of sportspeople at the top of their game get no recognition, thusly the recognition is merely celebrity in a more socially acceptable (we generally admire sportsfolk) form.

Why be upset at all? It's a nonsense award. Officer of the British Empire? In case you haven't been paying attention, there is no British Empire.
If the Queen can give out OBEs, then I can name myself Elector of Constantinople.

There is a British empire, it's just now very titchy. We still have overseas territories, such as Montserrat and Gib.

It's not a non existent entity. It's a very small and insignificant one, but it still technically exists.
British Overseas Territories are the remnant parts of the British Empire that haven't yet opted for independence.

Probably because it's not financially beneficial for them to break away
