SPOTY

[FindernRam]

I think the BBC have a right nerve bigging up SPOTY given how little live sport they cover.

Then they compound it by having Lineker on it. 

Then they pick just six who we can vote for from an apparently woke agenda.

But the saddest thing, and its nothing to do with the BBC, is that when I spent a few idle minutes thinking about who I would have nominated I couldn't come up with anybody. As a nation we seem devoid of star quality winners. Even our top football teams are stuffed full of foreigners.

I have a suggestion. I know that this might give you less to moan about but how about ignoring Sports Personality of the year?

I think this just makes the deadline for funniest opening post of the year. Some people will not spot the satire, more fool them. I salute you.

My 6 would've been;

Mason Greenwood

Joey Barton

Toni Minichiello

Ivan Toney

John Yems

Chijindu Ujah

No help here for anyone with acne and spelling difficulties.

Who picks the 6? It's not just the BBC.

As you don't want Lineker on there, I'm not sure you can accuse others of having an agenda.

Hilarious that you have no alternatives.

From the 'England Football' Website:

 

'The industry panel for this year’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year included former Lioness and Euro 2022 winner Ellen White, ex-Olympian Colin Jackson, Paralympian Ellie Simmonds and former Scotland rugby union international Chris Paterson.

Sports journalists David Coverdale (Daily Mail), Rob Maul (The Sun) and Charlotte Harpur (The Athletic) were on the panel alongside Olympian Katherine Grainger, now Chair of UK Sport.

Representing the BBC were director of sport Barbara Slater, head of sport content Philip Bernie and Sports Personality of the Year executive producer Gabby Cook.'

 

I don't know about you but I'm sick of the woke agenda pushed by the Daily Mail and the Sun.

I thought this topic was going to be about Mary Earp's underwear is outerwear dress.

I’d have given it to Kevin Sinfield - end of.

His efforts transcend sport and epitomise camaraderie, endurance and the will to do good.

Ah, Wokism. It must really piss you off, hearing that schools are going to teach BSL to GCSE level.
