Sports Personality Of The Year...

[10ClarionSt]

A bit late with this but I thought the voting was a complete sham and that the winner is selected by the producers months before. How did Joe Root manage to get that trophy in New Zealand just minutes after the "voting" had closed? What if that place had gone to Jude Bellingham in Madrid? The England cricket squad probably took that trophy with them when they departed for New Zealand. 

And of the course the BBC did what the BBC always do by ruining the programme with copious interviews instead of showing the sports that they were referring to. 

One sad thing though was to learn of the passing of Raman Subba Row, a player who I saw play for England against Australia at OT in 1961, and for Northants against Lancs on a few occasions. A good batsman. RIP.

never watched it & hadn't heard of the winner previously...

I don't know how they do it but I think the winner usually wins by a mile ( or 800m in Keeley's case!) and they know who will win ( maybe they ask the bookies who have ways of knowing this).

Surely it should be "raygun" the Aussie break dancer that disgusted everyone that bothered to watch that rubbish as an Olympic sport. 

I hang my head in shame...
