So wide of the mark it is really quite embarrassing. Unless you were fishing of course (that isn't a sport either)

Exactly what I think about most of the woke inspired bullshit you post.

The only notable thing about Earps is that her surname rhymes with turps.  

SPOTY might as well be abandoned now. Just another tool for the tools who would have us believe that everything we instinctively know to be true deserves a label ending with 'ist'.

Knobhead or not, on the Earps vs Dettori or O'Sullivan SPOTY issue he's correct.

Wokery on display with 'quota's', 'inclusivity', 'virtue signalling' etc. Like everything else they tamper with, the show will die a slow death. Joe Public may have to keep having this nonsense rammed down his throat but he knows who truly deserves such accolades.

💯

Pure nonsense

Last week - Look at Nigel getting to last 3 of I am a Celebrity that is great shows the silent majority are very strong, the lefties hate democracy. 

This week - Look at a woman winning SPOTY - must be a fix by the Woke BBC. 
 

I thought Broady should have won. Genuine world class sportsman who went out on the highest of highs. 
 

 

Very well put. 
 

You woke bastard.

Its a popularity contest, no more, no less

And, to a generation of young girls, earps, tooney and russo are the new pop stars

Theyre not the best footballers in the world but they put the effort in with their young fans, who, in turn, love them

Girls who want to play football, be like their idols

My daughter is a wanderer and is less likely to watch earps than me, but i reckon at age 8 when she had had enough of apple dance, she wouldve been all over it

Aye, look at the list of past winners. All well known sports men and women at the top of their game. All known world wide for their achievements in their respective sports.

 

The last 3 🥴

I'll give the lass that won the euros credit but couldn't tell you her name or club she plays for.

Has Fury ever been nominated?

First women to have won since 2006 

And that was Zara Phillips 

Who is more famous for being a royal 

As for fury 

Yes

Not sure what you mean but there's such a lack of female winners I'm not surprised it causes a stir when one wins 

They must've been desperate when they chose Giggs in 2009

Anyone getting themselves worked up by who won SPOTY needs to get a grip......

The fact that women's soccer is as popular as it's been in the last 50 years is superb. To see youngsters having female role models, and also attending women's soccer matches is lovely to see.

Young girls feeling inclusive in sport can only be a positive, surely?

75 and 97

I bet you cant tell me what sport 75 played

And 97, im pretty sure his pinnacle was runner up, us open

[mickbrown]

In fact, did any of those bitching about the fact she won take the effort to vote?

I’d be fucking amazed if they did  

 

[royal white]

Weird this, when anyone in the past asked why the likes of Owen, Murray, Giggs won it most folk agreed saying they have fuck all personality. Question why a woman wins it and its basically Misogyny.

It doesn't bother in the slightest she's won. Just find it a bit odd.

Why do you find it odd? You think the vote has been rigged? That she didn’t get the most public votes?

Maybe it's because men's sport is watched more and is more recognisable to most. It also makes the most revenue.

Nobody in the UK knows who the best NBA women's teams are or players. Same with boxing or F1 etc

Everyone wants equality so why not mix it up in sport? It's obvious why ... men are superior in most sports.

Nope ... she obviously got the the most public votes. 

I'm not sure what made the public want to vote for her though.

What do you know I don't?

The fact that it says cricket at the side is a bit of a giveaway?

She got most votes. As Casino said it is a popularity contest. 

Couple of weeks ago 'lefties' were questioning why Farage was still in the jungle. It is exactly the same. 
 

As I said personally I think Broady should have won it but as I did not even watch it can not pretend to be too bothered I am sure his legacy will be untarnished by the snub.
