Mo Farah has accused some policemen at Munich airport of harrassment live in his Instagram account.

From what I can see the policeman was asking him to go to his gate

Yes I agree. All a bit odd

Just checked his Instagram account and there’s no further suggestion. I will agree on him having some sort of chip on his shoulder.

Pretty much sums it up. Running is his job. If we gave everyone who did their job well knighthoods there'd be a lot more knights. I utterly fail to understand why we hold sports people in such high regard.

Was always thus. Our school had ‘colours’ which could be awarded to pupils for acheivement.

In reality what this actually meant was - you got them by default if you were on the school football or rugby teams - regardless of how well you played or how well the team did.

I cant recall colours ever being awarded for academic achievement.

We had this too. There were also colours awarded for music/dramas I believe too but like you said not for overall achedemic achievement
