In fairness, I had no idea what the headline meant until it was explained. Maybe that’s more a reflection on me though… Edited December 19, 2021 by AJF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) The thing about the England team has to be to do with the racism and abuse they suffered online, right? If so, then essentially some English have shown such low regard for human decency that the BBC feels the need to reward a team that didn't achieve anything. Seems counter intuitive to reward a team for simply being in the firing lines of racists. One might suggest punish the racists, and reward a team which was successful, at least in relative terms.

Sports Personality of the Year has been England-centric for a long, long, time.I suspect if Forfar won the cup double they wouldn't get nominated either.Did Celtic get any nominations in any of their quadruple treble years? I'm guessing not.Scottish football is an irrelevance to those that draft the nominees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly comes across as that, and you know "as a statement" I can see why they did it. The problem is that pesky British part in the name BBC. Rewarding one country's team out of a nation of 4 countries, when it was only one country's set of fans who racially abused their team, smacks of tunnel vision at best and down right arrogance at worst. While it's a bit of "participation award for all", the BBC should have awarded it to all four nations in regard to the social media element - if that is what they are aiming for. I mean, God forbid they would actually award it to them for not winning the Euros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
