Tyson Fury - "i Won't Be Allowed To Win Bbc Sports Personality Of The Year
Tyson Fury has said that he won't be allowed to win this year's competition because he has some controversial social views.
Do you think he's right?
Or do you think that being one of the few sports stars who actually has a personality (whether you agree with his views or not) he stands a fighting chance?
(No pun intended)

I have always thought that the term 'sports personality' was something of an oxymoron.
But yes, I think that Mr Fury's personality will bar him from the top slot, just in case he says something to frighten the horses.
A nice 'safe pair of hands' as those political types say, will be the best thing all round.
That's not to say I don't think he should win - rather that the contest is largely pointless anyway.
It offers up the dubious task of reconciling the fact that someone who is utterly brilliant at their chosen sport has - away from their arena - the personality and interaction skills of a spoiled eight-year-old.
Best knock it on the head - the days of 'play up and play the game ...' are long gone.

I suspect (proof to be provided by someone more knowledgeable) that the awards are biased towards sports that have a higher public profile. So someone who kills it in a 'minor' sport will be at a disadvantage to someone who merely does very well in a high profile sport - one that has a bigger audience...tennis, F1, football etc.
