That ideas out of the window! BBC are becoming a woke joke! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/sports-personality/59700067

Ignoring who they've given this award to, why do the BBC let us know who's won before the TV programme?

The new definition of woke seems to be a negative one by right-leaning individuals. Eg. Marcus Rashford helping hungry kids = woke, supporting a superb black gymnast with mental health issues = woke. I would be pleased to be called woke from that shower.

Well that was shite.
England mens football team winning team of the year and Southgate winning coach of year. Every other nominee is those categories actually won something.
Pathetic.

Also, ignoring supporting, the idea that a 19 time world champion and 4 time Olympic champion is somehow not deserving of a lifetime achievement award is bonkers

Was Rachel Blackmore really the most outstanding non British sportsperson this year?

Bizarrely, if you exclude Lewis Hamilton, the last English born recipient of the main award was Joe Calzaghe. In fact Cardiff has been the birth place of more winners than England since Joe won it.
