[Other Sport] Sports Personality Fixed?

Trevor · Dec 20, 2015

It would have been deeply embarrassing to the BBC for Tyson Fury to win it, but he undeniably has a personality, which the winner doesn't really

beorhthelm · Dec 20, 2015

was there some wide pread clamour for Fury to win? is he a popular sportsman? not really.

Trevor · Dec 20, 2015

In fairness he was fourth favourite 18-1 this morning on oddschecker

Da Man Clay · Dec 20, 2015

its hardly a shock for a 4th favourite not to win. Especially one so deeply offensive to some.

well in fairness I'm no fan of his views. However, how many of the shortlist could be said to be a "personality"

That's literally not the point of the award. It's not ABOUT personality.

Why do people keep thinking this!!??

Based on your logic the winner for the past 10 years would be Jimmy Bullard

Never has been about 'personality', always achievement.

Unlike Strictly come dancing.

The BBC is corrupt and deeply flawed.

Fury goes down in the names like Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Frazier, Foreman, Klichko, Lewis.

GB winning an obscure 1 man tennis event, will not be remembered in the same light.

This.

Personality in this sense means 'a celebrity or famous person.'

So it's basically sports person of the year.

Those first five names - yes. When boxing was an honourable and worthy sport.
