Shortlist of
Cricketer Stuart Broad, jockey Frankie Dettori, footballer Mary Earps, wheelchair tennis player Alfie Hewett, athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson golfer Rory McIlroy are the nominees.
Rory for me for his heroics in the Ryder cup. Am I missing something here but have any of the others nominated actually won anything this year?
I’m amazed Jude Bellinghams not on the list for the impact he’s made in the game this season.

They should drop the 'ality' part of the word.

It's the wokest of woke lists, isn't it. A token white bloke A lesbian footballer A disabled A dwarf A black female heptathlete A token non-English person.... The problem I have with SPOTY is that they often choose someone whose career deserves recognition, but not what they've necessarily done this year. Broad will probably win but, just like when Giggs eventually did so, it'll effectively be for his career. Woakes did more than Broad in the cricket world this year, as fantastic as it was to see him hit his last ball for six and to take a wicket with his last ball as a bowler.

An utterly pointless, meaningless award.

Incredibly poor shortlist this year.
Has to be up there with the worst in its history.

On the whole it's been a poor sporting year. Surprised none of the RWC got a nomination.
KJT wins it for me
Guarantee next year with the Olympics there be a list as long as your arm

Don't know who 3 of them are and only heard of the cricketer. Has the cricketer done something special this year? Never watched a cricket game ever so no idea, a bit like rugby, wouldn't know a single player

Should be one hundred percent mate for everything he has done. He's gone above and beyond for not only his friend but for everyone suffering with MND. How he isn't on the list is shocking to be honest.

Well said. I think he got a special award last year though. Should be knighted.

it fell apart for me when Andy Murray won it, that was a joke It fell apart when the king of sporting woke started presenting it. He was quite happy pocketing his nice salary at the Qatar World Cup mind. A two minute virtue signalling monologue at the start was enough for him to forget about it and get some sanctimonious slaps on the back for “speaking out”. Anyway I digress……

The last time I watched it was 2012 when Bradley Wiggins won it. Can't be bothered with it anymore. Just looking at the list of nominees it seems pretty lacking really.
I always thought it was a couple of Sundays before Christmas,so how come it's a Tuesday this year ?

If there was an award which included the word 'Dullard' in the title it'd be a lengthy list of contenders.

Sky just offer a better package and we’re saturated now.
