"Anything you can do with a pint in your other hand is not a sport... "Good point. Although I said Luke and Lando earlier--mainly because they seem nice guys and don't know much about the others--theirs are arguably sports. Yes they require skills but hardly exercises where you build up a sweat from your exertions | |||

Good point. Although I said Luke and Lando earlier--mainly because they seem nice guys and don't know much about the others--theirs are arguably sports. Yes they require skills but hardly exercises where you build up a sweat from your exertions"F1 is incredibly punishing, physically. Jenson Button used to do Triathlons as part of his physical training. | |||

"For me Ellie Kilddune, for once someone who lived upto the hype "She definitely did, however I still think Rory should get it due to the length of time he's been at the top of world golf. He's a five-time major champion, and the sixth man to achieve a modern career grand slam, the first European to achieve the feat. | |||

"The six contenders are: Hannah Hampton (Football) Chloe Kelly (Football) Ellie Kildunne (Rugby Union) Luke Littler (Darts) Rory McIlroy (Golf) Lando Norris (Formula 1) Who would you like to see win? " Golf? Formula 1?? DARTS??? What The Fuck? Why is strolling round a green hitting balls into holes a "sport"? Hells bells, even lardass TRUMP does it - and wins*. Formula 1, where so much depends upon the technical design of the cars. And DARTS? Standing there throwing a metal spike at the board? Oh, what the hell. If nobody cares about language anymore, maybe we can look forward to the chess entry: chess is a sport, right? Or a video game category - just as demanding of reflexes as driving a racing car. And if pub games are allowed, how about shove-hapenny? The possibilities are endless. * never a good idea to beat someone who owns the golf course. Or who has a multi-million govt contract for you in his pocket. | |||

"Two female football players, why? Must be more sports than these deserve recognition.Jst because they won a trophy for England when the men couldnt" You answered your own question. They won trophies. Literally the whole point of the award!!! | |||

"Very poor crop this year I think - not a standout year for British Sport. Motor Sport more about the Car than the Driver. Darts - entertaining certainly, and succesful participants do need great hand to eye coordination, but a spectacle more than a Sport. Womens Rugby & Soccer squads did well … against limited opposition. Only Rory with true success in a significant world event…..even then a limited field ….Masters is to a certain extent self selecting, it’s not The Open. Been far better years. Personally I think Scott Mctominay should have been in there for reinventing himself as a footballer in a genuine competitive competition- Italian Football - and almost single handedly dragging Scotland into the World Cup Finals. Also Harry Kane who’s goal scoring record for Bayern & England this past 12 months is phenomenal. Although Harry ain’t Mr Personality is he ?" Definately a good shout for McTominay- as long as he agrees to pick up the award wearing his Napoli kit…..  | |||

"Hannah Hampton getting plenty of free publicity on the unbiased BBC today. Rory or Lando would be my choice" It's a report about the lifelong problems with her eyesight, the operations she had to endure as a child, and the difficulties she still has judging distance and depth. A story of hope and inspiration, it's shameful how some people still manage to make such negative observations. | |||

"I preferred it when it was straightforward and not an overblown, overlong, self indulgent bore. And was less predictable. " Overlong? The nominees were only announced last week, and the show is being broadcast next week. Who do you predict will win? | |||

"Shame they choose the shortlist " Absolutely. Can't have the Licence Fee payers independently choosing their favourite Sportsman/ Sports Woman. They can only choose from the BBC's approved list. | |||

"Anything you can do with a pint in your other hand is not a sport... "I'd say the same about golf. If you can play a game against yourself, it's not a sport. And the clothing is just unforgivable. | |||
