Because it always has been given to the best sports person, like Ryan Giggs, Princess Anne and Zara Phillips for example... It's a good job Lewis Hamilton won the F1 title in 2020, otherwise you could add Jordan Henderson to that list. Sporting achievement-wise, Earps won the WSL and World Cup Golden Glove this year. Cracking individual achievements if you ask me. She was also the highest-placed goalkeeper in the Ballon d'Or since the award was introduced for women's football, won FIFA's best female goalkeeper award, and an award for the positive impact she's made on football in the north west. I agree she is doing a lot for the women's game and in terms of the horrendous goalkeeping standards of women's football she is absolutely brilliant. But, she is not the best British sport person this year. And no-one has given her an award saying she is. She is the sports’ personality of the year as voted by the public not the best sports’ person of 2023. It is quite simple

He has a point though. As always he goes too far with the penalty stuff but is she honestly the best British Sports person in 2023? They are the woke awards now and the show has diminished so far from what it used to be. Well she won because the most people voted for her. Why is her win “woke” in any way ? Maybe to many women and girls she is The Sport’s Personality of the year, simple really. The list of nominees certainly helped

That's probably where it all went wrong for poor Joey.

I was happy enough with it, the fact that she received the award in her bra and knickers was an unexpected bonus!

Or possibly both a misogynist and a provocateur. He's entitled to his opinion in my view so I don't understand really why people are getting their knickers in such a twist. Its literally the reaction that he's after. My other view from what I've seen of her is she is a very decent goal keeper. Definitely the best female goal keeper I've seen. And the sooner they make the goals proportionate to the female average size compared to men the sooner the female keepers begin to look a lot better.

He's potential thrown his managerial career away now after these comments which if he was looking to carry and is a pretty ridiculous thing to do but then it follows his whole life of actions he has taken.
Or he knows exactly what he's doing and has no intention of returning to management and is being lined up to replace Simon Jordan on Talksport.

I always check the odds beforehand for SPOTY since I have observed its one the Bookmakers call correctly without fail.
I posted this on the Everything Else board but you can see they had more or less closed the books on Earps.
1/8 Mary Earps 9/1 Stuart Broad 14/1 Katarina Johnson-Thompson 25/1 Frankie Dettori 40/1 Alfie Hewett 150-1 Rory Mcllroy
I guess Rory was aware of this which is why he sent his faithful lieutenant Tommy Fleetwood along to give his speech since he lives close by!

But, she is not the best British sport person this year. Genuine question, who would you have picked on a free vote basis? Stuart Broad out of the ones nominated, more for body of work but dream ashes ending and showing 'personality' after being dropped. As I said the list was mainly the issue. Ronnie O sullivan Leon Edwards Not been nominated? Katarina's achievements to me are well beyond Earps. Being the best heptathlete in the world I think is a far more difficult task than the Golden Glove due to the respective standards of international athletes compared to female goal keepers.

Being the best heptathlete in the world I think is a far more difficult task than the Golden Glove due to the respective standards of international athletes compared to female goal keepers. This award is not about achievement. There is no doubt that Katarina's achievements eclipse those of any other nominee. The point of this award is which sports person has connected most with the wider public and I would question how many none athletic interested people realise who Katarina is. This is down to the TV coverage and issues of the day, not the achievement, but the face the general public have seen most this year is that of Earps. As soon as you open the vote to the public the result becomes a popularity contest rather than an achievement or even a character award. Just as Strictly wasn't won by the best dancers so Spoty isn't won by the best sports person. Every member of the British public could vote whatever their knowledge of sport.

But, she is not the best British sport person this year. Genuine question, who would you have picked on a free vote basis? Ronnie O Sullivan. Tyson Fury ( though he does not want to be even nominated ) Jack Grealish ( even though he is a knob, but he does a lot of charity and stuff for the community, and love him or hate him, he is a character)

It worked a treat for Katie Hopkins - online clickbait career out of being controversial outspoken rent-a-gob And she hasnt returned my Whats App messages either

It’s not even the point that he’s defending it’s the manner in which he’s doing it. Very excited to see the défense of this one. This is @itv “Shut up you fucking idiots. Keep them off the tele. They’re ruining the game for everyone of us. It’s what happens when you force under qualified, under prepared, tokenistic people onto us. I will be calling them all serial killers from now on. Every clip you fuckers put out. Told you, I don’t care anymore. We’ve all had enough of your ‘Woke’, ‘DEI’ bullshit. I hope everyone who agrees with me, gets right after your social media every time you force this nonsense on us. 👍 I tried to play nice, you didn’t listen. 👑“ x.com/joey7barton/status/1743327495301234831?s=46&t=TkMhJ-dNdW19jQ0SSnopIg
