Why!? Because he's made mistakes (like all of us) owned up to them, turned his life around and regardless is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in living memory.

 

 

 

Or the fact he made a comment about female athletes belonging in the kitchen? He’s a twat, he may be a great boxer, but he’s a twat none the less.

Not really…… suggesting female athletes belong in a kitchen? Nah, he’s a twat.

if it’s all about the car then the other Mercedes’ driver will have finished second then right?

Bottas hasn’t done badly though has he? We will see how well he does next season. I think Hamilton is an incredible driver yes, but it’s still a team sport, and the car plays a major role…. Put him in a Haas car and he wouldn’t have the same success, it’s not a level playing field really is it? Like I said I’m an F1 fan, but I don’t think he should be put up against genuine athletes who’s only asset is their anatomy!

Could I ask who your sporting hero's are?

[Dr Marco]

Hope Emma does win!

[Harpenden Fox]

Tom Daly for me. A great sportsman, and a positive role model and personality

As a youngster growing up;

 

Ian Thorpe

Peter Van Den Hoogenband

and Mel Marshall as she coached me as a kid from time to time.

Team of the Year to the only team who didn't win anything...

[Jimothy]

That's a joke. Ridiculous decision. Southgate winning coach of the year too.

In 1991 angler Bob Nudd polled the highest number of votes ever, but the BBC disallowed him because it was orchestrated by the Angling Times. Since then the BBC have taken it upon themselves to fix the outcome.

Angler winning Sports Personality Of The Year with record number of votes? Sounds a bit fishy.

Such a very 'British' thing to do

[Unabomber]

Gareth fails yet cleans up at this awards. 

[tom27111]

Team of the year and coach of the year both go to losers 

 

Just unbelievable. 

[Izzy]

That's so disrespectful to winning coaches really. Typical of the BBC

Decent list that. 

 

I used to really like Ian Thorpe until all of the doping allegations, but yes I was a big fan also. 

[PhillippaT]

IF this is what they're like when the England team reaches a final, what would they do if we managed to win one?   Create a separate awards show just for the team and staff?  

[Dr Marco]

it's coming home...etc

Yes, because he drives a car worth absolute millions, engineered by genius’s, one that is arguably better than any in the field. I love F1 but I’m sorry he can’t be held in the same regard as an athlete like Peaty, or any athlete for that matter who competes individually. 

So was there any reason you chose to name Hamilton and not Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham or Stirling Moss...?

In the bag for Emma

Edited 19 December 2021 by Unabomber
Said Tyson but then saw Emma won

[stripeyfox]

It was always going to be Emma Radacanu.

His husband is about the same age as me. Bit odd.
