BBC bias at it again

[GreasyChipBeattie]

It boils my piss to see the same old 'privileged' few getting all the accolades.
They say it's the hope that kills you.
Well what's life if you don't have hope?
I've a good mind to stop paying my TV license in protest, and certainly won't be watching Sports personality of the year.
I accept we might not have won it outright, but not to be even shortlisted for team of the year?

Should that have read”dream of the year”?

All these rich privileged nominees, only one winner Kevin Sinfield ultra marathon runner and fund raiser.

 

[The Crab]

Princess Anne and Nick Faldo not nominated so they can get fucked…

He’ll get a patronising “special award” at best. He needs a knighthood

In all behind chloe kelly. Such a wonderful year scoring a couple of pennos and missing one from the bench.

Thoroughly deserved.

 

[Stanthemanfan]

I'd love to get behind chloe Kelly!

It's time this was binned off, Joe root never been nominated. Can't see it being a top watch program

 

[Flumps]

Am I missing summet? Is the question here "why are aren't united shortlisted for team of the year"

 

[Gin&Juice]

I’m upset for Eni Aluko

 

[bornablade]

We should have won Team of the Year in 2003 but some bloke called Jonny Wilkinson kicked a 'ball' over the posts.

Neil Warnock would have been Coach of the Year. That would've made an interesting acceptance speech.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Anyone have any idea what triggered this rant?

I am going with Antonio Vivaldi being snubbed on BBC radio 3

SPOTY has been shit for years best ones were in the 80s, I liked it when Daley Thompson won it and turned up in jeans shirt and tie

It used to be a must watch as a kid , its now just a cringeworthy back slapping awards programme.
The public vote has simply made it a popularity contest with no more credence to sporting achievement than Eurovision has to musical ability.

No it was always nonsense. Just like all awards in media it's absolutely subjective and pointless especially when sport is a format that literally is all about winning real trophies.

I think when Wogan stopped doing it, thats when it turned wank. Some of the winners in recent years sound like what a horse being pushed down stairs would sound like.

Stopped watching when Giggs won, it was obviously a betting coup imo

 

[Loco Blade]

Boycotted it ever since Rachel Hayhoe Flint was denied glory for her outstanding contribution to women’s cricket . Bastards

 

[jt64]

TIL that some people still watch the BBC

He didn't even bother with the shirt and tie

Chris Wilder, SPOTY 2026

Chris Wilder, SPOTY 2026

That explains why its in General Blades Chat section

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

That explains why its in General Blades Chat section

That and the fact that the team in question is Sheffield United

That as well I suppose
