Anyone who saw the documentary on McCoy when he was coming back from injury wouldnt doubt he was an athlete. Obv dont know the link but was amazing to watch what he put his body through to speed up the recovery time

AP McCoy is clearly a fantastic athlete and sportsman.
How many times during a race has a horse been dead and buried but AP has brought them back ftw.
AP McCoys career>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everybody else.

Why does the winner need to be an athlete?
I'd love to hear the difference between darts and snooker!
Like I've said before, the award has no meaning until Taylor wins it, without doubt our contries greatest achiever over the last 15 years whether you like darts or not!

imo once someone is up for nomination everyone should disregard the what is a sport, what isnt debate, and judge the winner on their performance in their chosen field.
I dont like horse racing at all but lol at anyone who doesnt think a jockey isnt an athlete

+1 If SPOTY put together a montage of McCoy using his skill and strength to get a horse home when it looked dead and buried, the progamme would run for a week. |

It's a one year thing. I hate hearing about people's career. Go win a lifetime achievement award. Thats why giggs winning was a joke.
The reason Taylor doesn't win is because people don't see darts as difficult. He's obviously mastered it but if you were to ask bookies for odds on Mark Cavendish ever throwing a 9 dart finish in his life and the odds of Phil Taylor ever winning a Tour de France stage I know which would be bigger.

that is clearly utter bollocks. if betty the lollypop lady was nominated then you wouldn't worry about the fact that lollypop ladying isn't a sport, you'd just look at how good she was at it? |

So by your logic, someone like Tiger Woods is not as good a sportsman as a 2nd division footballer, because the footballer competes in a more physical game? |
