BBC Sports Personality

[Royal Flush]

Why is it absurd? Its probably just as hard to control a horse as a golf ball. One only does what u make it do, the other can decide to do what it wants.

I'm a big football and golf fan, but just because you dont watch or understand a sport doesnt make it the wrong choice, particularly when it was an open vote for anyone to bother to call in for.

It would be rude not to

Definitely, especially if she was in jodphurs and not a lot else

I laid off for a win win either way so not as much as it could have been but still a nice chunk of change.

Until she looked like her mother.

Then I'd stop.

It was absurd because it's actually quite hard to believe. Who actually watches it? Does it even have viewing figures? Unlikely seeing as how little it is on TV.

The BBC gives the award to another Royal. Why am I not surprised?

Complete bollox, who votes?

Complete bollox, who votes?

it was a public vote - I see what you mean though, the BBC obviously had all their goons out around peoples houses intimidating them into voting Royal

[Rooky9]

600,000 people voted. I have no idea about the popularity of the sport itself, but I guess people have taken to her when they have seen her. I think she is world and european champion in her field. Thats a pretty good accomplishment, whereas boxing world championships etc are degraded by the numerous titles.

At the end of the day unless you think the BBC has fixed the votes they cant be held for who gets this award.

[bolt pp]

I dont think its fixed, I just think she's crap

I dont think a boxer should have won it either TBH. I just think that the BBC is royalist and the Royals will always have an advantage as they have a following before they've even kicked a ball or been on a horse.

Never has there been a more obvious choice (in Clarke) in a year of sporting mediocrity in the major sports.

I dont understand where the connection is in that part?

I think as many are anti as pro royals - especailly those who are likely to watch that program.

Perhaps some false quotes that were attributed to Clarke about not wanting to win, or the story in the NOTW of Sunday morning had an effect also. I think most years there is a clear cut winner based on performance and so it usually runs to plan. This year it was based on things other than performance and has proved more difficult to read.
