Isn't this years SPOTY award, alternatively known as "the Emma Raducanu Sports Personality of the Year as sponsored by Emma Raducanu?"
Marcus for all his great deeds hasn't had a vintage year on the pitch

He absolutely deserves it but I suspect Emma Raducanu will win it.

He won a special award last year, didn't he?
England may well win team of the year for the best tournament performance since '66, but even in a successful Olympic year for Team GB I'd be astounded if anyone comes close to beating Raducanu.

He did.
Mark Cavendish who equaled (or beat?) number of TdF stage wins would've been a shoe-in before Radicanu's amazing win in the States. She's definitely got it. Good for her
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
Give it to Beckham for the selfless sacrifice he is making to be the face of Qatar 2022.
It’’s SPOTY not SAOTY, so the P doesn’t mean you have to be good at anything sporty!!!!

Doesn't the S count then?
Yes, you should be a Sports person to make the first cut

So you do have to be good at something sporty then.
I think people can get too hung up on the word 'personality' in Sports Personality of the Year. My interpretation is that it is just old fashioned language for sports person of the year. A bit like 'television personality' (TV star). SPOTY had been going since the 50's (I think... correct me if I am wrong).
My vote will go to Mark Cavendish, as his achievements this year, in equalling the all time record number of Tour de France stage wins was seriously impressive, and I love a good underdog/comeback story. However, even I can see that Radicanu is unbeatable this year.

Will be quite interesting to see what happens Tyson Fury-wise as well
And likewise Little Lewis Hamilton gets dissed because people don't like his personality
It'll be Raducanu by a mile.
I must confess my first response when I saw the thread title was this was going to be about Rashford's acne

I think he definitely deserves some kind of award, but not SPOTY. That should – and almost certainly will – go to Raducanu.

This is the current bet365 SPOTY betting without Raducanu. Can't see Rashford? Well he's a bit further down the list at 66/1
