In that situation would you also call it 'Woke' (as you did with the Sports Personality nominees you didn't know), or is that only saved for if the people you haven't heard of fall into a certain category of society?
Of course it was woke. It's the BBC ticking the boxes it wants to tick. Covers gender, sexuality, race and disability. Whilst ignoring achievements like Manchester City winning the treble. Why no City players on the list?
As I've said on this thread I've no problem with someone from a minority sport winning it. Well done Mary Earps. I've educated myself that she is a footballer, the following day I found out she is a goal keeper and last night when sky sports sent me a push notification to tell me she had won she plays for Manchester United. I still wouldn't know who she was if she was stood on Brighton beach with a seagull on her head. And I expect that would be the same with most of the country.
Its either a sad reflection on British sport or the BBC when a once important institution is relegated to a Tuesday night going against 3 cup quarter finals, the world darts championship and England going bonkers in the crash bang wallop cricket championing people the average person hasn't heard of.
not even going to respond to that.If it's white male musicians you haven't heard of then that would just be "it's not my cup of tea".....but if they are female.....
