This opera on BBC Four sounds like less of a shambles then SPOTY tonight, The winner won it three years in a row. A kick in the teeth for the Olympics people and will not be watching it again.

They got the trophy out to him pretty quick considering the voting didn't close too long ago. Or have I missed something?

Does the fact that Andy Murray keep winning it every year have anything to do with the fact that Wimbledon is about the only major sporting event to which the BBC still have the rights to show perchance?

Well they have the Olympics so is that why 2 of the Olympians came 2nd and 3rd then?
Maybe the people who vote the most are tennis fans and of course Murray will have the whole of Scotland behind him. Or Murray is just the best sportsperson we have atm.. I agree Farah could be higher but as I say there are probably 2 reasons why he isn't... |

I voted for Alistair Brownlee but am happy with Andy Murray winning. |

I would have gone for England rugby as Team of the Year. Leicester were the team of the first half of 2016 but they've been fairly rubbish since May.

Why do people on here have this insane idea that Olympians are more worthy of winning awards than any other sportsmen?
By the way Murray is an Olympian too. I voted for Brownlee but Murray is a worthy winner. As for Leicester, well they deserve it too. It's an extraordinary achievement and story in this day an age. 5000-1 shot, that's some odds. |

Andy Murray has lost just 4 tennis matches since May. He's won Wimbledon, an Olympic gold, the World Tour Finals and reached world number one. In an era where he competes alongside three of the best of all time.
Achievements alone, he was miles ahead before they started. I don't get the Farah hate, he seems a good bloke to me. I voted for Alastair Brownlee but was expecting Andy to win |

I don't understand how, in prime time television, with free voting on the website, it's possible for there to be less than 1 million votes, only 54k for mo? He deserved at least number 2/3 considering his amazing achievement this year...

Not that is fixed. The few sports that are on Terresterial TV are the ones people connect to and vote in numbers. Thats why wont see any Cricket players, boxers etc win.

Greed rules in sport as it does elsewhere. Which is why there's so much more sport being played now at the highest level than ever before - companies like Sky TV have seemingly bottomless pockets & endless hours of airtime to fill. Will the bubble eventually burst?

Why do they feel the need to hold this in massive arenas The NEC will, always be.....Gladiators
sycophants ready....Salt and Linekar ready......3...2...1..... Think the result was unsurprising, I would have liked Ali Brownlee but would rather both brothers had been nominated. Pleased for Skelton reaching the top 3 though. The tribute section really saddened me this year, there looked to be a shockingly high number of younger people

Wonderful irony in the fact the winner of BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR - a Mr. Andy Murray - has zero personality. If anyone was born without a discernible personality it's him!
Class tennis player, though.
