BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) 2016

[BrumJim]

Rachel Atherton?

 

[BrumJim]

But is your average SPOTY voter looking at the CL?

Is team voted for by the general public? I thought it was just Personality?

 

[Beebo]

Is there a rule that says there has to be a golfer in the short list?

Odd isnt it. Danny Willett won one tournament because the guy in front chocked, and has had a poor end of season.

There are no rowers on the list despite them winning multiple golds over a number of cycles.

It's a deeply flawed and deeply cringe-worthy piece of whimsy.
It doesn't merit deep analysis or angst, in my etcetera, etcetera...

Now where's the fun in that?

 

[Fnaar]

I'm guessing Eric Bristow is out of the picture...

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Champions League?

Indeed. Come on man! Dilly ding, dilly dong!

Kadeena Cox for me by a country mile.

The Murrays, Bales, Trotts and Kennys of this world should be good at what they do as every resource under the sun is thrown at them.

Miss Cox on the other hand has had to overcome a massive obstacle that would have broken the strongest of wills. Even to have gone back to sport would have been big, but her accomplishments are over and above what the others have done.

I disagree regarding Murray. He wasn't part of any LTA run program as a teenager.

I never said he was, but I reckon in the last 10 years he's had plenty.

Money that he had earned himself. Tennis players live or die by results unlike other sportsmen on massive salaries.

 

[screenman]

Regardless of how much a number 1 sports person makes they still have to work hard and take more pain than most of us are prepared to.

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

Regardless of how much a number 1 spokesperson makes they still have to work hard and take more pain than most of us are prepared to.

I never knew speaking on behalf of anyone or anything was so committed.

 

[sheddy]

So do I vote for Laura
or Jason ?

 

[Hacienda71]

Is it just me or are Claire Balding and Eddie Izzard twins separated at birth?
