Can't work out if it's BBC being incredibly politically correct or trying to drum up viewership for the only sports they can still broadcast. |  |

Does it really mean anything these days? Just the BBC trying to promote what little sport content they still have. I’m sure all the candidates have done some great things but your average sports fan wouldn’t have a clue who some of them are. That can’t be right. Meanwhile, no Fury or Ronnie O’S. |  | | |

Geraint Thomas won it,which it a bit of a kick in the balls for Chris froome who has won more big races than him but never won spoty. |  | | |

They couldn't find a woman to give it too so the next best PC thing to do was give it to a Welshman. |  | | |

How the f*ck Dina Asher-Smith wasn't in the top 3 Is baffling. Harry Kane won nothing this year or any other year, comes in top 3. Lewis Hamilton drives the fastest car, wins world championship again ??? Finishes in top 3. Some cyclist gets voted SPOTY due to being in THE best cycling team in a sport where all team mates literally HAVE TO let him win???
Asher-Smith should have won it. [Post edited 17 Dec 2018 5:09]

You clearly never watched the Tour De France then. Thomas won by it by virtue of 2 stunning solo breakaways to win stages. He may have had help to get to the point of being able to break away but he still had to put in the effort to do it. He was not expected to win the TDF, he was there as Froomes no 2.
Asher Smith won gold at Euroean and Commonwealth champs, not Worlds or Olympics. Maybe when she does she will have a better chance of winning. Agree she deserves to be ahead of Kane,
Thomas won one of the most gruelling sporting events there is against the best. He deserved it and one of the nicest guys in sport is an added bonus.
Some cyclist? Maybe try cycling up a mountain or two and then realise what they do day in day out over a few weeks in a grand tour... | |

No idea how the England netball team won best moment of the year and team of the year. Bizarre. |  | | |

Agree absolutely with all of this and that's why I took the trouble to cast a vote for GT. SPOTY used to be an unmissable programme for me in my youth but that was in the days when BBC had no problem with showing all the major sports but didnt have blanket coverage, in-depth analysis, action replays etc and SPOTY was one of the few times you were able to re-live the sporting events of the year. |  | | |

More realistic then SPOTY. |  |

I didn't and had no intention of watching SPOTY last night as I hate any presentation shows be it sport, film, music etc. But you have to laugh at the BBC these days and how they try to big up minority sports which only have a minority following [ even miniscule in some ] and then try to interest viewers in the participants who we will all forget about within 5 minutes of them being mentioned or spend another 5 minutes working out who they were talking about in the first place.
Who's going to remember in years to come, the likes of giggly Emily Blanket-Wetter who won over every ones hearts in the country [according to the Beeb] by winning the world blindfold hopping backwards uphill contest?
Some might call this PC, probably. It is also called scraping the bottom of the barrel when all is lost to present anything or anyone remotely interesting. People who hop up hills backwards when blindfolded might contest this of course. It's a sport that might catch on in the future [ again according to the Beeb]. Watch this space!! |  |

I voted for Lizzie Yarnold. She did something that no other Brit has ever done...two Winter Olympic Gold Medals. She is also the most successful skeleton athlete in the world....ever!
Thomas would have been my second choice. | | | |

Harry Kane won a golden boot. |  |

Highlight had to be the kid winning that award after losing both legs and fighting back to drive in races again and Claire Balding cut him off mid speech as he was about to thank his parents.
I thought Tyson Fury should have won but he wasn't even nominated |  | | |

Probably something to do with comparing homosexuals to pedophiles. | | | |

BBC even managed to turn 'It's coming home' into a cringe fest, what was that 'rent-a-mob' bunch doing singing at the back? Very spontaneous, I don't think. |  | | |

losing a couple of stone and Drawing a boxing match does not make you a worthy winner, especially when by his own admission it was "all down to Jesus"
Thomas won the Tour De France brilliantly against the odds and had previously been instrumental in delivering wins for Froome and without any apparent divine assistance |  | | |
