I do not condone or support such attitudes, merely pointing out why Mo is unlikely to win.
sir MO !! not sure about Murray because he was a YES voter on independence!! So why would you accept a knighthood ?

Mo's odds for SPOTY will barely change if he win's the 5000m.
He is the massive favourite and this is already factored into the SPOTY betting. If it wasn't then no one would back him to win the 5000m, they would just back him to win SPOTY at 5/1 and lay him at the evens you are suggesting. You don't go from 5/1 to evens by winning an event you are the 1/5 favourite for. He may come in a little, 7/2 or to a best priced 4/1. |

Living and training abroad is pretty such a necessity in Mo's case, he would probably never have become the best in the world otherwise.

Shows how difficult it will be to choose this year. If Leicester are still favourites for team if the year how do you acknowledge the GB hockey team?

I can't believe Murray is such a short priced favourite to win the award again. It has to be Jason Kenny who deserves it surely?

It's going back a long way but in 1991 the team of the year prize was shared by the British 4x400m relay team that had become world champions and the England rugby team. I wouldn't totally rule out a repeat of that this time with the award won both by Leicester and the Team GB hockey team (both are great stories), although I will be interested to see if Leicester still win it if they are having a poor season come December.
You really couldn't imagine them doing that again, whereas to some degree the GB hockey women did have some form, as the majority (if not all, I am not entirely sure of the difference in squads) were part of the England team that win the recent Championships, which is far more then Leicester had. |

The season that Leicester won the league was a huge achievement, and if anything their poor results could help to emphasise just how big an achievement it actually was!

What the HELL does singing the National Anthem have to do with SPOTY ? I don't give a monkeys who sings or doesn't sing it, if they win a gold medal or a world title for GB then they are ok by me whether they are white, black, brown, green or orange with purple spots. Whether Muslim, Christian, Catholic or Atheist
Far too many bigots in the UK and a damn fair amount of them on DS....and I don't think dodrade is one of them |

Is it fair to say that in 2012, Olympics year, Bradley Wiggins won the SPOTY primarily for winning the Tour de France rather than an Olympic medal ?

No I think it was a combination of both. Obviously his TDF was more iconic than Froome's but the public never vote for just his TDF wins.

I mean the public didn't vote for Froome's tour de france achievements because he hasn't come top 3 in the public so far when he's been on the shortlist, not they wouldn't in general! I think Wiggins tour de france played a massive part in his victory ofc, but the gold medal as well also benefited.

How ridiculous to refuse to vote for someone because they don't sing the "national" anthem (which is actually nothing of the sort). In fact apart from the hockey team I can't think of a single gold medallist who did sing it.
