BBC Sports Personality - Short list

[Slime]

It'd be Murray for me and the Davis Cup squad for the team award.
Mind you, my memory's crap and I can't think of much that happened more than a few days ago!
Pleae, just not Hamilton, Fury or Farrah.

Don't care what Fury has or hasn't achieved in sport, the BBC should not be placing him on a pedestal. Bad enough that they have ignored his vile remarks and instead glamorised his pre-fight antics but unforgivable to nominate him for this award.

 

[Marshy77]

Disgusted to see Tyson Fury on the list. Shameful.

Why?

Whilst I don't agree with what he has said - he is entitled to that opinion and whilst fully understand the remarks are vile to you they won't be to everyone

Not everyone agree that's abortion and homosexuality should be legalised everywhere for whatever their reasons are - seems it's religion for him

And having those views shouldn't stop him being able to win sporting awards

 

[Old Skier]

Best team and best coach- Davis Cup Team and coach anyone.

 

[andycap]

Got to be Hamilton , world champion , again , has so much personality (which is why most dislike him). The guy is re writing the record books and no one can stop him.

Phil, for once in your life try and have a bit of sensitivity instead of just arguing for the sake of it. Anyone who for any reason tries to equate homosexuality with paedophilia has gone beyond the pale. Religion is no excuse, none whatsoever. It is not unreasonable to expect the national public service broadcaster to condemn such a bigot rather than put him up as a role model.

I wasn't arguing

Just saying that surely he is entitled to his views however people disagree with them or find them wrong

I've never warmed to the bloke ............................ I have my reasons which, for the sake of avoiding an outcry, I'll keep to myself.

Mo Farah ? One of the nicest guys around ?

Must be some serious reasons

Surely he's entitled to his views whether other people disagree or find them wrong?

Mo Farah comes across as one of the nicest guys around and seems the perfect guy.
Always smiling and comes across as a family man.

However what goes on behind the scenes or closed doors who knows?

Have you met or do you know Farah personally to make such a statement?

Which statement is that ?

Does that count for any view, no matter how vile, or just if it's anti-gay?

 

[pokerjoke]

That he is one of the nicest guys around

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That he is one of the nicest guys around

Can I not use public perception of someone to judge him plus how he was with injured soldiers at Selly Oak and Newport House ? Unless there is some scandal I have missed ?

I may have been too subtle.

It strikes me as funny that opinion about Mo Farah is challengeable but views about Fury aren't.
