BBC Sports Personality of the Year

Load of shite, it is only institutional racism that stopped Mo Farah.... he is doing things on the track that not even the great Ethiopian runners have done. 2 more golds, oh well.... he only has to run thousands of miles every year in training, is fiercely patriotic and to round it off a nice guy.

But hey, Murray... well he won zero slams, cannot beat Djok or Fed and his only success was in a Davis Cup where the other top players did not play for their teams.... But if you're white, it's all right!!

^ Not racism IMO. Simply one is a middle/upper class sport voted for by BBC-types the other is less so.

What AP being given the lifetime Acheivement award though?
Champion jockey 20 years in a row and also probably broken nearly every bone in his body in pursuit of those 20 titles I think there has never been a better recipient of that award for quite
some time

I suppose the good news is that Tyson fury DIDN'T win!!

Well I voted 3 times each for Ennis Hill and Farah.
Gutted.

Awful fucking woman.

I wonder if she gets hr strap ons from Anne Summers....

Institutional racism? How? It's a public vote! Past winners include Lennox Lewis, Fatima Whitbread, Linford Christiei, Kelly Holmes & Lewis Hamilton. I agree Farah would be a deserved winner but timing is everything & the Davis Cup win was very recent. As for being patriotic well he did turn up & play 3 times in each round!

Yeah i mean we should be thankful we have had 5 whole winners in 50 years plus... my we are lucky... i mean 1 in 10, not like we represent more than 10% of the population

Sorry I didn't realise you could not see past the chip on your shoulder. I sincerely hope Mo does win at some point as he's an excellent ambassador for his sport and for what brilliant role models immigrants can be. I do wonder though if the recent drug stories about his coach may have had an effect. Personally I believe he is clean and I was in the Olympic Stadium when he won Gold. By the way I voted for him as well

Chip on my shoulder? Why has Mo not been Knighted? i think it is 9 gold medals on the world stage, double olympian.... mmm Hoy, Wiggins, Redgrave all knighted whilst still competing... yeah.... nothing suspicious there.

I totally agree he should be knighted. Not in favour myself of sportsman being knighted whilst still competing but Mo deserves it. So let's agree Murray wins the SPOTY and Mo gets a Knighthood in the New Years Honours ?
