runningman1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We don't like our sports people to have personalities. We like them to tow the line. Look what happened to Tyson Fury when he started to show his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look what happened to Tyson Fury when he started to show his. What happened to him? People got offended because they found him to be a homophobic, sexist bully? It was still open for all his supporters to vote for him. Now hes made himself a pantomime villain, which was a bit needless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiecass Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Andy Murray has no personality to speak of but is a tennis player and doesn't need one to be good at it,nice enough bloke though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as someone deviates from the expected viewpoints then everyone is up in arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as someone deviates from the expected viewpoints then everyone is up in arms. Well perhaps some people find his views particularly offensive? He wasnt banned. His supporters could still have voted for him. They didnt. I'd think if someone like Johsua achieves the same thing then he will get many more votes.

taxman Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I didn't think Murray should win because as an individual he's won nowt this year. People who are part of teams (motor racers, Davis cup players, Sky Cycling, football and rugby players) shouldn't be included. Fury, Ennis and Farrah did things on their own, despite whether or not they have any personality I think they deserved the award more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense tells me the top three had more supporters than Tyson Fury mainly because their sports attract more fans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
