BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2017

Formula 1 is shite though

[RandoEFC+]

I've followed F1 for a decade and it's not been the same since they introduced DRS. I can see why people don't enjoy it.

[nudge]

For me, DRS was just the final straw. F1 has become less attractive throughout the years due to too many rules and regulations, too much dependence on aerodynamics, too much of fuel and tyre saving strategies; it all just feels too artificial at times and makes close racing more or less impossible.

[Dan+]

Does absolutely nothing for me I've got to admit.

[Chaaay AFC]

What the fuck has Harry Kane done to be nominated? 

Mo Farah for me, surely deserves it now after everything he has achieved. I fully expect it to be Anthony Joshua though.

[Danny]

I like Joshua and what his win done for boxing but I don't think he deserves it over say Froome, Farah or Hamilton. Hamilton coming back to win the Championship, Froome with his 4th Tour de France and Farah with the gold and silver medals at the World Championships.

If Joshua had fought and beaten one of Parker or Wilder in 2017 instead of Takam then you'd probably put him up there, but in terms of the year i think more has been achieved elsewhere. If he successfully defends his title against even just 2/3 of Parker, Fury and Wilder in 2018 then I'd imagine he'll definitely win it then.

[Honey Honey]

Someone who lives in tax exile certainly shouldn't be allowed to win an award presented by a taxpayer funded service.

[Smiley Culture]

Give it Giggsy till the end of the season. 

[True Blue]

If Kane wins it he will struggle with the speech.

[The Artful Dodger]

So Froome is a drug cheat, as Wiggins was. Strange how all these cyclists seem to have asthma isn’t it? It’s almost like it’s state sponsored...

[Stan]

Federer wins Overseas Sports Personality for 3rd time.

Beat Tom Brady, Katie Ledecky, Tatyana McFadden, Sally Pearson and Michael Van Gerwen. 

[RandoEFC+]

Easy win for Roger.

[Smiley Culture]

Quorn sales must have been through the roof this year.

How can Anya Shrubsole be so low? She singlehandedly won you the WC. Sure our young batsmen got nervous and lost the plot,  but she bowled really well and won England the WC,  when we looked destined to win.

Will Rea be driving home for Christmas

women's cricket is only starting to get some airtime in the past couple of years. Whether she single-handedly won the tournament or not, I doubt many people know much about her compared to the likes of Anthony Joshua, Johnnie Peacock or Lewis Hamilton.

Lol where’s the actual proof that Wiggins was a confirmed cheat? I take a sugar in my coffee, if Wada ban sugar tomorrow will you then label me a cheat? He used legal supplements at the time it’s hardly cheating. 

Also testing positive for a bit of Ashma medication is a world away from popping for EPO. 

Finally pure speculation on my part but Ashma & Road cycling having a correlation wouldn’t be surprising at all considering the environment the sport takes place in.

I think this result needs to be decided by respected journalists that specialise in multiple sports other than left to the BBC viewers of Strictly. Mo Farah and Jonnie Peacock must still be in shock at where they've finished this year.
