Its not the prinicpal of naming airports after locals that I object to, I think that it would be good if they were worthy people, thats all. There must be some people from these cities that would inspire and are worthy of being commemorated? What does Best inspire? Getting Sh!tfaced and wife beating?
I'm a football fan, but f*** the football. It meant nothing from the moment he first raised his hand to his wife.
Glorifying someone famous for...................err...................drinking and denying someone more worthy of a liver transplant and wife beating,
now thats foolish.
