But it is never "purely on sport" and the man himself as distanced himself from SPOTY in the past so........

I think the word “personality” means that it’s not purely on sport.

No, it doesn't. It's just a way of avoiding saying "sportsman" or "sportswoman" as the awards date to before "sportsperson" was the standard neutral term.

He isn't. Beth Mead is at odds of 1/25.

Anyway, can we please have Jon Crofts complaining that it should be a cyclist? It's tradition, FFS. ☹️

So you are thinking Beth mead is more of a personality then Fury?
To be honest this went from my favourite tv show to not watching once they gave it to giggs as a lifetime achievement award - that worked out well.

Those saddles are a deathtrap.

No anglers again I see. Bloody woke BBC, still refusing to recognise bear-baiting and squirrel-taunting as legitimate sports.
