Yer I get it isn't a first to 50 system, just think McGregor fans would outnumber most of the others... especially considering some of the other nominees

I think he's just a very focused individual, we've had too many nice guy sportsmen (particuarly Henman in that particular sport) so it's nice to have one, genuinely world class, sportsman with the killer instinct. Whether that means he should win Sports "Personality" of the Year I'm not sure, perhaps they should change the name to Sports Person of the Year as I'm pretty sure the public vote based entirely on sporting achievement rather than personality.5 -
Isn't Personality a word that has changed since SPOTY was first released though?se9addick said:

i.e. Years ago Gay didnt mean that you were homosexual rather than fact that you were a happy person... Personality means now that your a nice guy and nice to be around yet cant see why SPOTY would have used it for that reason back in the 60s0 - Sponsored links:

So am I, but it's still pretty ironic that he has won this particular award 3 times seeing as he ain't got much of a personalityse9addick said:

Andy Murray's success in getting to World number 1, in a massively competitive sport (men's tennis) is why he was a fitting winner.ForeverAddickted said:
Wimbledon is only well known though because its shown by the biggest terrestrial company available.palarsehater said:
precisely murray plays wimbledon every year, the brown lee brothers are in a pretty unrecognised sport. thats all i was pointing out.Algarveaddick said:
Traditions like 5 time Olympic event, triathlon or 14 time Olympic event, show jumping; as opposed to 15 time Olympic event, tennis you mean PH?palarsehater said:apologies i meant a traditional olympian, brownlee, skelton olympic years are the only years where they really shine, no denying murray is an unbelievable sportsman
What's that saying about when you're in a hole?
The World Triathlon Series is also shown by the BBC but only online so is there if you wanted to see it... From the crowds that go to watch in the various Cities it gets more fans than the Diamond Track Meetings you also see on BBC2 etc.
Vardy got 25000 votes, that'll be the Leicester fans!

I think British tennis fans vastly outnumber the UFC fans. Hence why one takes over the BBC for a fortnight every year and the other is on Sky box office or something.shine166 said:ForeverAddickted said:
