[Politics] BBC Sports Personality of the Year Official Thread

[crodonilson]

Always one of the great sporting occasions of the entire year and plenty of good and bad and striving for equality to look back on. Begins in 15 minutes on BBC1.

Alec Scott guides us through the evening with support from Gary Linker.

The fact that Tyson Fury is nominated but not Mark Cavendish was all I needed to know to give this a miss

How Fury can be nominated for anything given his abhorrent views is beyond me.

 

[Seagull58]

I fink it'll be foroughly entertainin', dontcha fink so?

 

[Frutos]

Otherwise known, and rightly so, as the Emma Raducanu of the Year Award.

 

[Swansman]

Are GP or Dan Burn nominated?

Otherwise its a no for me.

 

[Seagull27]

Otherwise known, and rightly so, as the Emma Raducanu of the Year Award.

If anyone else wins, it'll be an absolute travesty. The most stand-out winner in years surely.

 

[Gazwag]

Otherwise known, and rightly so, as the Emma Raducanu of the Year Award.

While I agree to a certain extent, she's been a bit of a one hit wonder so far compared to somebody like Adam Peaty

 

[Bry Nylon]

Looking forward to the BBC delving deep into their extensive archives of live sport coverage to bring us a moving montage of the World Conker Championships from Great Snoring, Northants.

 

[Solid at the back]

What a pointless award

 

[Super Steve Earle]

While I agree to a certain extent, she's been a bit of a one hit wonder so far compared to somebody like Adam Peaty

Maybe, but her one hit is of the 'Everything I Do, I Do it For You' 16 weeks at Number One variety rather than The Jam with several straight in at Number One then falling rapidly.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Does anyone bother watching this tripe these days?

The BBC have so few sporting events to show, its become embarrassing.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Its all a load of bollocks

 

[Icy Gull]

Otherwise known, and rightly so, as the Emma Raducanu of the Year Award.

Yep, for me that was the standout sporting performance of the year…by a large margin

 

[wolfie]

Dame Sarah Storey for me - although why they need 4 presenters dressed up to the nines is beyond me.

 

[Dave the OAP]

About to switch it over to Royal variety performance

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I saw Glenn Murray in M&S today

It has to be Emma.

In an era when sport is dominated by money and money buys you trophies it was brilliant to see an unseeded girl go the distance and bring back our first women's grand slam trophy in 44 years.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Moulin rouge bit brilliant

Sarah Storey deserves it far more than Emma.
