SPOTY 19:43 - Dec 17 with 5097 viewsWoolfenthen

Used to quite enjoy this but it really is now as dull as dishwasher probably down to the lack of real "personalities" as much as the now woke element.

Gone much the same way as Football Focus where the old tried and tested format worked and didn't need fixing.

BBC really has gone down the pan and needs a rethink.

I will probably regret asking this but as someone who doesn't watch it, what's the "woke element" in it?

But it's nice that in the days of diversity and inclusion that the presenting team are three women, of which two are gay.

The sooner they rename it Sportsperson of the Year, the better. It's never been about their personality, but people always jump on that bandwagon, saying the winner has no personality etc.

The 'woke element', whatever that actually means isn't the thing that bothers me

It's more the BBC's determination to make this into an event

The way the awards are awarded now seems flawed, it relies on mob rule open to abuse, a classic example being when a nearly retired Ryan Giggs got it, rather than a lifetime achievement award

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

He knows full well he can go higher.

But as he gets a bonus every time he breaks the world record, he does it 1cm at a time to get 10 bonuses.
Conning the sport and public by not doing his best in events.

I had to think to figure out Hodgkinson. Littler was the darling of talksport a year ago. Root I know.

But his 'conning' is already the best in history? Why wouldn't he make the most out of a short career. He gave the paris crowd a world record when he already won gold at the biggest event?

A true sportsman gives his best in all competitions, he clearly doesn’t.
