Because F1 is one of the few sports BBC has an interest in, his win was recent and so more in the public memory banks and he's the one that seems to be getting pushed on the BBC promo's

Just think he is fresher in the memory for the people voting

So what you actually mean is you think he will win and not that he is favourite

Well i think he is the favourite to win - or are we really discussing specific wording ?

I didnt realise by saying that i think Hamilton is prob the favourite to win would cause so much issues - but then some can never fail to look for an opportunity to score points and create something out of nothing. :rolleyes:

Just to clairfy - my post was meaning that i reckon Hamilton prob will win !

McIlroy is the bookies favourite, they re-cap everyones achievements on the night to remind everyone what the contenders done.

McIlroy will win IMO, he's a high profile popular golfer.

I hope he does win - dont get me wrong - but when it comes to the public voting anything can happen

It is TV sport's annual lowlight, a chunder inducing orgy of self aggrandizement by the BBC, who couldn't give a monkey's about sport for 364 days of the year. Whoever wins the award should refuse to accept it.

Is that because they cant afford to spend billions to challenge Sky ?

I really couldn't give a stuff, it's a personality award, not for the best achievement !

Worse still, I doubt that the BBC will have enough clips to cover all of the major sports as they are all owned by Sky these days!

It is not a personality competition, it is the sports person of the year who ain't a t**t.

The only reason it ain't called Sportperson of the year, is because a different channel already had the title "Sportsman (sic) of the year" which meant BBC had to find a different title. And it tends to go to the best sports person from the major sports unless that individual has a hit of a dubious recent history, which is where their title helps them out ocaasionally

The Captain of the Invictus is an amazing person - was lucky to hear him give a heart warming talk to injured soldiers
