BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) 2016

[Joey Shabadoo]

They hunt wild quorn now? The barbaric beasts!

Well how about not being a charmless, snarling, triumphalist oaf on court? Would that do for starters?

He's a competitor in a tough sport where you go head to head with an equally strong minded opponent. It's the way he deals with it.

[QUOTE 4437246, member: 43827"]To be fair, Tim but Dim did have a huge personality. Do you remember those scary fist-pumps he made at important points?

Pity he couldn't win a big tennis match to save his life.[/QUOTE]

He just wasn't Scottish enough

How about Ched Evans?

How about Ched Evans?

You'd give Donald Trump a run for his money in the controversy stakes with that shout.

I suspect the fact that it is a hunt class is more relevant.

Not as funny though

I supposed that really is my problem with him. Being a charmless, snarling, triumphalist oaf on court.

I guess I never quite got to "deal with it".

ashley williams, and if not, the goalie in the olympic women's hockey team, maddie hinch…

I rather think if you have to say "Person X" with a further description of who they are, they haven't really imposed their personality on the public too well

Nick Skelton. Doesn't mind having a drink, doesn't mind saying how things are for real. Rode a strong horse over (not through) some tricky fences, on time, with a man-made hip and a stiff neck without youth on his side.

I could go along with that. It's a tough sport, tougher for the horse mind

On the basis that A) he's got a personality and B) this year has beaten one of the best ever and reached the pinnacle of his sport, I'd pick Michael "The Count" Bisping.

Unfortunately, he fails on the SWL test

Obviously you are not a golfer.
