Sports Personality of the Year

[JZS 600]

You know, they are having golf at the next olympics.

FFS!

[goldfazer]

'Full credit to our Olympians, but they had four years to prepare.'

I think you'll find they do other stuff as well! Such as winning the TdeF. And if not, they probably have 'normal jobs' as well as training.

[Tori]

Yes, but it's only cycling.

[Skippernick]

And Murray has absolutly zero personality, Tori. :pokefun

[Tori]

Because you know him personally of course.

[Skippernick]

Actually i do. Get out of that and stay fashionable.
































Well i don't really, but just watch his interviews.

[Tori]

So you know nothing. Other than, omg, what you see on TV! So it must be true.

[Looney tune]

NEIL FRANCIS LENNON

[Skippernick]

Well Tori, with that in mind then none of us could possibly comment or vote on any the "personalities" because we only watch them on TV or from a long distance in a stadium, but never actually meet any of them.

ALISTAIR MURDOCH McCOIST

[Tori]

It shouldn't be a popularity contest. It's what they've achieved that counts. That's why the comments of 'it's only tennis' etc I find annoying. They all deserve to win on their own merits.

[Skippernick]

I agree Tori, which begs the question why was it changed from "Sports Review of the Year" to "Sports Personality of the Year"
Considering the wider general public will read/hear the title and choose from that suggestive title explains some of the weird choices over the year, mainly overpaid footballers.

If you're taking the "it's only tennis/cycling/*sport*" route then Ennis should win as she competed in more than one sport

I thought it was one sport with multiple disciplines?

Heptathlon: seven sports but only one set of medals.

Lol, but you've spelt murder wrong  .


If it's based on what they have achieved then why has Phil Taylor never won it ? Oh yes, I know, darts is not a sport !


In reality there are so many who deserve to win it this year, Wiggins, Ennis, Murray, McIlroy, Frankel ......

What about team of the year - guess it would include the Olympic cycling team(s) But I'd like to see the England 15 that beat the All Blacks by 20 points last weekend - I actually jumped out of my chair & ran round the room yelling 'dish it out to 'em' at the top of my lungs - highly undignified for a man of my years!!
