Sports "personality" shortlist

[Zambo]

I'll say it again: Who is on the shortlist for Overseas Sports Personality of the Year? I bet it's a New Zealand Rugby player.

Mo Farah

No, he's British.

Well that's what the label says for his pretend nationality, but your real nationality is created when and where you are born.

Sue and Linekar do not care about such triffles. Race? Nationality? Puuuurleeeez. It's a knee's-up. A time for repressed athletes to let their hair down. Insecure athletes love faux awards. I admit, I get a twisted kick watching fit manly girls like Dina Asher-Smith and KJT struggling and stumbling around in kitten heels and tight-fitting dresses. Fucking love it. Dolling themselves up. It's all good. It's all bullshit, but it's all good.

Regarding little Lewis. I haven't a problem with the fellow. Partly because he winds his neck-in and doesn't bang-on about climate-change.

So everyone who doesn't bang on about climate change isn't a cunt. I've never heard Piers Morgan or Jeremy Clarkson go on about it, so does that rule them out as well

?? I don't know who those people are. I'm talking about Lewis.

We are talking about what qualifies people being a cunt. You said Hamilton wasn't one because he doesn't bang on about climate change. I was just giving a couple of examples why that doesn't necessarily rule people out of being one.

Err, Hamilton has recently been banging on about it: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f ... 0#p1394157

Read it independently and came to post on here: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/lewis- ... 00763.html

A lot of the replies there seem to think it's more about the state of the world now.

And, Zambo. Did you not read Stevie Hunt's post in the 'Climate protestors' thread today about Clarkson: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f ... 5#p1402765

Greta Thunberg has killed motor shows by making young people hate cars:

Well said Jezza, but he's still a cunt.

So you claim.
But he's got a British passport, and that's good enough for me

I must confess. I am absolutely cock-a-hoop regarding British athletics. I've always thought it was a fraudulent exercise. No pun intended. Seb Coe? The man is rotten to the core. Steve 'I was only speeding because I was picking my kids up, no, I was cheating on my wife' Cram. Paula 'take a piss in the street and get paid-off by Nike nicely' Radcliffe. These fucking wasters make Darren 'Bronze' Campbell look good. Know what I mean? If that wasn't enough, we've got Mo. I genuinely believe athletics is dead and the Olympics, which is on the horizon, is fucked. The plebs have woken-up to this fucking shitfest. That born-again christian cunt who jumps into a sandpit does my head-in too.

That’s a decent list, especially the NZ rugby player

Tiger for me.

Tiger Tim Henman?

[Carlos J]

Roar. Tiger for me as well, Jonathan.

What about Tom Brady the New England Patriots quarter-pounder?

After all American Football is now a diet of the BBC.

Hamilton should be ruled out immediately. All the rest have achieved using their own bodies, and not sat in a fucking car.

You don't like Hamilton do you?

What's the bloke in the picture got to do with it, is he up for it again this year. 'The rest' meant those in the frame for 2019.

I'm no fan of F1 because it doesn't do much for me as an actual spectacle but it is a formidable sport in every other way including the stresses drivers have to endure and the fitness they have to acquire to enable driving in around a two hour race consistently up to and over 200mph. To reduce the sport to just "sat in a fucking car" is just silly, F1 pilots have to be supremely fit, skilled and talented in what is an extremely competitive world sport.
Like or loathe Hamilton's public persona he's an English born multi world champion in a sport that the UK is as a whole rather successful at. Damon Hill (above pic) and Nigel Mansell were singular World Champions, dull as shit but adored and won SPoY, Hamilton is now a six times world champion and has therefore surpassed their achievements by a country mile and without the benefit of privilege (Hill) so he really should be adored but clearly isn't.

Hill was a funny fella and quite self-deprecating:

It was nice how Steve Ovett wasn't let posh boy Coe grab all the glory.

[Carlos J]

Here we go. Two hours of fun.

[Basualdo]

Is it tonight? Once the highlight of BBC sports year and now, thankfully, no one gives a fuck. Still, Lineker isn't going to get those taxis paid by someone else....oh wait, he is.

Telly link goes wrong and fuck sake, now St RaRa.
