BBC SPOTY

Used to look forward to this show years ago but now......................

Its changed so much over the years. It used to be THE sports personality........etc. Now its the BBC's SPOTY. THEY decide who the nominations are etc, NOT the UK public. Take young Mathew Fitzpatrick as an example. Not even shortlisted.

But its a tv show and this is the TV group.

Good point and reinforces my previous comment. How often could you have watched Matt Fitzpatrick live on BBC TV this year?

I did wonder that as well. As the US Open was shown on ....Sky? Maybe that doesnt meet the bbc's criteria?
